I just plain love Maytag appliances. Had a set that lasted me almost 30 years (gave it away when we moved) and was still going strong. Bought a Neptune set in our new house. Had a problem with the washer computer board, but resolved that and it worked well. We moved again and I bought a new Maytag Maxima set. Absolutely love it. Bought a used Neptune set for our winter home and it is going strong also. There was a period of time when Maytag appliances were not built as well or reliable as usual, but I think the manufacturers got the message and started building quality appliances again. I have loved the two Neptune sets and the Maxima sets -- all front loaders. As you can probably guess, I am sold on Maytag.
