Is Maytag Epic quality better than its predecessors?
After reading the reviews in the link that "foraloysius" kindly provided, it seems that the Maytag Epic is well-liked by the people who have them; but I noted that the reviews are recent (mostly written in 2007). I also read the reviews for the Maytags that preceeded the Epic, and many of them are negative. Has Maytag recently undertaken an initiative to improve quality? Is the Epic a symbol of the company's re-commitment to quality products? Maytag's quality "skeletons in the closet" have me a little spooked. I am guessing that the new owners, Whirlpool, have improved quality to mitigate perceptions that Maytags are an inferior product. Any other thoughts??
