Maytag - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Smart Front Load Washer with Steam and Pet Pro System - Volcano Black

I bought this washer four months ago. I really wanted to like it, but after four months it stopped working. After tons of troubleshooting, I found out that there is an internal filter that is only accessible from the bottom, and thus typically needs a Maytag repair person to come and fix it. The only accessible filter is the special pet filter, which isn't that effective. If you're willing to figure out a way to lift the washer to get to the internal filter or are ok contacting a repair person every few months then this washer is fine. Otherwise keep looking. Be careful of reviews that are for recent purchases, this only becomes an issue after a few months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 2 mo old Pet Hair washer has already required service to remove a small amount of dog hair from an inaccessible drain pump filter. In my research, I made certain the filter was easy to get to. The manual shows the filter as accessible, but the manual does not match the actual model. The top and front panels have to be removed to get to it. Service calls to clear a drain pump filter of pet hair every few months for the life of the washer MADE FOR PET HAIR is unacceptable. Do better Maytag!!!
