I've never had experience with a Maytag, but it's on my "hope" list, based on what I've heard others say about the machines. If what I hear is even only partly true, the Maytag could end up my #1 daily washer choice.
From a look, I find that the Center Dial Maytags are classy. There is something about the look that, while "old", remains, to me, fresh. Not to say that others are "stale", but they look more tied to an era, more retro. (Although, that's what can make those other machines fun!) I usually don't like white appliances (I don't really like white anything), but Maytag washers and dryers are the exception--I think white works better for the Maytag design than, say, Avocado.
I like that Maytag (at least compared to other brands) understated. As if Maytag was confident in selling the washers based on the quality of the machine, and not acres of shiny chrome, bright lights, and billions of buttons.
