T.F.
I have a Maytag Neptune Washer / Dryer set (front loader). I do believe, I got in on the last of the better Maytag products because after the purchase and good experience with my washer/dryer, I bought a top of the line dishwasher that died in 3 yrs and a top of the line fridge that died in 5 yrs.
I have since replaced kitchen items with Kitchen Aid and I LOVE them.
As for my washer/dryer...I have had NO issues whatsoever and I love them. A lot of people say that the HE detergent is more pricey... that depends on where you buy it. I use All and I see it on special regularly at Tom Thumb and Target and I will buy 5-10 at a time to have back up. I have about 8 bottles right now ready to go that I got for $3.99 or less a bottle at those 2 stores. I just stock up when I see the deal.
I have been very pleased with my HE washer/dryer.
