[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rinse and spin is ultra sensitive. I am having a hard time getting the machine to spin dry. Many loads seem to be unbalanced. I had my old machine for 21 years and rarely had this problem. I had to take every dog towel and blanket out and do one at a time.

We really appreciate you letting us know about the issues you're experiencing with your Maytag® Washer. We're truly sorry you're having these concerns. You're a valued customer, and we'd love the chance to look into this for you right away. Please see the following troubleshooting tips:
What is an Unbalanced Load? An off-balance load occurs when laundry is not distributed evenly, often during the spin cycle. This can lead to noise, excessive shaking, reduced spin speed, longer cycle times, and clothes remaining wet. The washer may stop spinning or display an error if the imbalance is significant. Washer Self-Correction: The washer will attempt to self-correct by refilling and gently rotating back and forth to redistribute the clothing. If it fails, it will display an error message. Proper Loading: Place clothes in loose heaps, distributing them evenly around the agitator/wash plate to prevent vibration. Washing Large/Heavy Items: Check the care label for machine washability (some bulky items may require a front-load commercial-style washer). For water-absorbent items (like quilts), distribute them in a donut shape around the impeller. Wash two or three similar absorbent articles (not just one, like a single rug) to balance the load for a good spin. Do not overload the washer; clothes should be loosely added and only as high as the top row of holes in the wash basket. Do not add extra water, as it can cause items to float and reduce cleaning action. Check Washer Level: The washer must be level, with all four feet firmly contacting the floor. If it rocks diagonally, it needs to be leveled to prevent noise and vibration, especially during the spin cycle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The normal cycle on mine runs for 2 hrs sometimes and not others. I put 5 pair of normal sized men's jeans & it starts blinking lights instead of drain and spin. Barrel seams loose on it's spindal or whatever. Pretty aggravating so far I've used it for about 10 loads.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is very quiet and cleans very well. I absolutely love the pet features and hair filter!
