I really like this Amana washer, anyone know about these?

I saw this Amana washer on CL in Dallas. What is the year and model of this washer, anyone know?
Also, were these any good mechanically or were they troublesome?

Thanks. This just seemed to have caught my eye.

That looks dangerously similar to my belt-eating '97 Amana made by Raytheon. I'd pass.

Re: Hi! Mike:

I've written you an E-Mail with some info, that I wanted to share with you, about my experience with an Amana Washer and Matching Gas Dryer.

Ah! A RaytheAmana. More problems than meet the eye, from what I have been told! Poor rinsing, eats belts etc. You'd do better with a Maytag Dependable Care or a Whirlpool DD machine.

I've never picked one of those up that was worth fixing. Most of them have bad bearings, which sound like a 747 taking off.
