I love, love, love my Maytag front loader and dryer. I leave my door open and wipe the rubber band dry so it does not develop an oder. My towels are so much fluffier. I used to store six high on a shelf and now I can only put four high there. I am so impressed at how much cleaner everything is and softer. The only thing I can say is buy the extended warranty. I had my set two weeks and the dryer had a ticking noise so I called and the repairman came out. It was free of course but he asked me if I had purchased the extended warranty and I said no because at the price I paid it should last. He said they don't last like they used to and a visit is $250 plus the front computer panel on the dry is $400 and the washer has 4 so it could really be expensive. I went the next day and got the warranty. It is 5 years on both plus 10 on the motor for the washer and was $400. I am glad I did it. Just wanted to be safe for a while. Good luck.
