A close family member at my suggestion picked up a new Maytag front load washer and dryer from Home Depot for $699 each! The pedestals were purchased several weeks later when they went on sale at Lowes for approx 200 a piece!
All in all the Maytag seems well built, I put it to the test by loading it to the max with towels and using the towel cycle. Everything came out clean and there were no issues with the washer balancing before spin. I will post pictures to follow, here is the model purchased................
