I've had a Maytag front loader and matching dryer for over 10 years and I love them. The washer has presoak, stain cycle, extra rinse, max extract, delay wash hand wash, delicates wrinkle free and cotton/sturdy push pads and the start push pad is also a pause one . Many's the time I've pushed pause to throw something else in. Just have to wait for the door to unlock which it does with an audible pop. The dryer has wrinkle prevent, wrinkle release, air fluff, senor dry and time dry push pads. Around the time remaining window are wrinkle prevent, cool dry, very dry, blank, normal, blank, damp dry pushpads. There's not much I can't do with them. Ihave successfully felted wool in mine also. I do have the drawers underneath and because I'm short it makes it a liitle harder to reach the push pads (they're on the back of the washer and dryer)but I manage.
