When our machine started to leak, we bought a new -- top of the line water saver Maytag. I am so sorry since. Water saver means washing in about an inch of water. So I use the bulky sheets mode for everything -- at least I can get 6 inches of water. I think the low water saver beats the fabrics to death. Think of the Hindu ladies beating the clothes on rocks by the river. I would never buy a water saver again.
I've had a water saver Maytag for a number of years now and like it. I'm pleased with the results. I have to say though I didn't like the small water used for most loads so I always have the extra rinse option on. Not having an agitator has been fine. I even feel the clothes are softer somehow without one.
