I had an older Maytag for 25 years. I never had an trouble with it until one day, it decided not to work anymore. Too old to get parts so I just bought a simple mechanical Speed Queen washer and I am very happy with it. I don't need a computer in my machine and I just couldn't see paying the extra money for it. My Maytag did laundry for 6 kids for 25 years. I got my money's worth from it. I think the speed queen will be just as good. I follow the rule...the more stuff it has...the more that can go wrong. I just needed a simple machine and that is what I got.
