Thanks for the posting I appreciate the information I have owned 2 front loaders before the Oasis and they were junk they were both Kenmores the first one was by Frigidare it washed really well but was cheaply made and the second was a Whirlpool and it leaked the whole time that I had it and got that odor and I did everything that I could to get rid of it with no luck.If I had the space I would have different washers but I do not for now so this is what I want a washer that will not break down and one that will get the clothes clean the first time so that we can go out of the house with clean clothes on and not put something on and then have to change because it is not clean.How does it handle mixed loads does it go out of balance easy? Thanks again Carl

I have the Samsung built Maytag Neptunes. If I knew then what I know now I would never have bought them. The washer's bearings are going and so is the control board. The dryer rollers are getting worn out and the dryer rumbles as it dries. One thing the dryer does do thats surprsing is that the sensor system does not work full time. Its only on at the beginning of the cycle to figure out how long it needs to dry and at the 6 min mark to determine if the load is dry. if not it will add 25 mins and then overdry the load. The washer has the fish shaped paddles that dont shower the load and if I wash a rather large load the grooves and ridges are rather harsh on clothes. And this washer is horrible at rinsing even with the Extra Rinse feature on. Balancing is a whole other story. It can spend up to half an hour just to get the load just right to spin and even then it wont ramp up to full speed. Do I hate this washer...you betcha I do. And its leaking and I am getting a code of TE from time to time. The washer has been recalled and Maytag sent me the remedy...a ground fault device the I plug into the outlet and then plug the washer into it. It has tripped a few times. The next washer I get will be a toploader and it will be Speed Queen. |

ultramatic do not worry about how long the post was you gave me very good information and I thank you for that. nmassman thanks for posting how long ago did you get your set and do you think that they may have improved since you got yours.I agree I would love a Speed Queen but I have to go through sears for now because of the contract.But I do appreciate the information and if there is a way then I may have to have a Speed Queen.How do you feel about their front loads? both Thanks again for the information is there any way that you can post a picture so I can see what to look for and what to stay away from.

This model (218AN; $800) was also highly-rated, but not quite as good at resisting vibration on wood-framed floors (although it still scored higher in that regard than many other front-loaders.) Again, user ratings were almost unanimously very positive, and capacity and cleaning scores matched those of the more expensive 448AA. |

Oh, and they also tested the Samsung 203AN ($800), which looks like the ones they used to make for Maytag. While it's still a recommended model, the vibration resistance score was poor. This would only be an issue if you were not installing the machine on a concrete floor. User reviews for it were very good. |

ultramatic Thanks again for the information it would be awsum if you could test and tell me about the newer one with the new technology because it will be installed on a wood floor in a house with a coventional foundation not a solid slab.If you can find any pictures that would be great too. Have a great week. Carl frigilux thanks for joining the thread I was wondering what Consumer Reports had to say about those washers I am glad to see that it was good I think that the midpriced on is the way to go because I do not think that 1500.00 is in the budget for now.I will stay away from the on that was made for Maytag. for every one this site you people rock you are the best. |

I have the Maytag/Samsung built MAH 8700 washer and the 9700 dryer. They were purchased in November of 2005. They will be 4 years old in November. Spin speed difference really doesnt matter much since this washer never and I mean never hits 1200. More like 800 rpms at the most and thats on Max Extract. Here is a pic of the machines.
