The more I see these nice high end Maytags showing up, the more I want to snag a pair while they're still not too difficult to find.
When (not if) the Affinity fails I may want to replace it with an extra large capacity Maytag washer and companion Electronic Control gas dryer as daily drivers. I think an 806 pair is the way to go. The gold accents on the panel would play perfectly off of the gold brightwork on the '57 GE Combination refrigerator that faces the laundry pair.
I loved the old team of A206 washer and DG806 dryer that I had going from roughly 1987 through 1997, and am feeling like "been there done that" regarding FL machines with flawed spider arm components that provoke catastrophic failure.
