Buying a replacement LG washer after 3 years.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Purchased this washer a little over 3 years ago. Clothes would still smell after wash, and would require a 2nd wash. In addition, the washer would display a certain time (lets say 15 mins) remaining for wash to complete. I would come back after fifteen minutes, and the washer would still be running and would display/require additional time to complete the wash cycle. Always heard Maytag was one of the best brands for washing machines, but this washing machine underperformed vs my previous LG washer. I have my new LG scheduled for delivery later today.

This washer is easy to use. Cleans excellent! The quick wash cycle and spin and dry cycle are excellent. Not only are my clothes clean but the extra spin and dry cycle has decreased my dryer usage. Another great feature is the self cleaning air freshener cycle my washer never has any mildew smells. Highly recommend this washer

I purchased the Maytag 4.8 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Stackable Front Load Washer with Steam and Fresh Hold (Model: MHW6630HC2) from Best Buy in 2020, hoping for a reliable and efficient laundry solution. Unfortunately, my experience has been nothing short of frustrating.
From the very beginning, the washer displayed an "SD" error code, indicating an issue with excessive suds. Despite following the manufacturer's guidelines for detergent use, the error persisted, rendering the machine practically unusable. It's incredibly disappointing to invest in a new washer expecting it to function correctly, only to find it constantly malfunctioning.
Instead of simplifying my laundry routine, this washer has become more of a decorative piece in my home. Its sleek, metallic design and high-end features like steam and Fresh Hold were enticing, but they mean little when the washer fails to perform its basic function. To cope, my family and I have been forced to use a laundromat for our laundry needs, which is inconvenient and defeats the purpose of having a home washer.
Adding to the frustration, each service technician visit costs between $300 to $400, and I've had technicians come out four times already. Despite these visits, the problem remains unresolved. The continuous SD error has not only caused inconvenience but also additional costs and wasted time.
To make matters worse, even when running the washer empty, with no detergent or clothes inside, the SD error still appears. This indicates a fundamental flaw in the machine that no service technician has been able to fix.
I had high expectations for Maytag, a brand known for durability and performance, but this model has been nothing but problematic. I regret this purchase and would advise potential buyers to reconsider if they are looking for a reliable and hassle-free washer. This model, unfortunately, does not live up to its promises.

Maytag Meets High Expectations

This washer is far quieter than others we’ve experienced (LG, older Whirlpool). There is essentially no vibration during spin and clothes come out very dry. Controls are simple and intuitive. It also has a large capacity. We had Maytags in our last home for over
fifteen years and they were bulletproof. I am expecting a repeat performance.

Quiet and really gets the dirt out. Easy panel and can be universally accessed

Appliances aren't made to last any longer. After spending an arm and a leg on them, there should be some sense of comfort in knowing that they'll last at least 10 years. That hope is gone. I'm slightly optimistic that the Maytag washer and dryer I purchased will last longer than the G.E's. But time will tell. Within a month of owning this washer, it already had a fatal error code. Could not unlock the door and get to the clothes. I unplugged the washer and then plugged it back in a minute later. The code cleared and the washer functioned normally again. Not sure how long until this happens again. It is a real hassle unplugging a washing machine on a pedestal...

Pros: Beautiful and quite
Quick delivery
Cons: Somehow the clothes are damp dry and all cycles take longer time to wash, compare to our previous whirlpool. We tried all different cycles and get the same results. Now we have to set another spinning cycle before we send the clothes to dryer to save drying time.

Very pleased with my choice so far. It is very quiet. The multiple options allow for you to customize your cycles to appropriately clean the type of load you have, even down to how soiled your clothes are. It has a very large capacity. I am just curious as to how the door will hold up; it is completely made of plastic. The unit I replaced had a much heavier door made of metal and glass. Time will tell, but over all I am happy with this purchase.

I love the washer and EXTRA POWER option. It is quiet when operating. The only con is the alert tone when the wash cycle has completed is not loud enough. The tone should be probably three times louder.

Been less than a year and the machine stopped spinning for final cycle so I have to initiate a spin-dry cycle manually after each load. Otherwise, it's great!

Had just a few problems when we bought the washer no one knew if the boats came out of the back when we purchased it everyone was not sure but after doing extensive history checks we found out that they do remove the bolts out of the washer when we first purchased so all in all everything was great had no problems on getting it from point a to point b very kind and friendly employees at Best buy so thank you Best buy once again

I seriously loathe having to do laundry... That is... Until I got this machine. It's super simple, and it looks super fancy, but that's not where the awesomeness ends! This machine has so many settings you will soon realize you've been doing your laundry wrong your whole life. It will get your loads so perfectly clean, you won't hate everything in your closet anymore, and it cuts down on drying time because it spins everything so dry... For the first time in my life I don't have to sit by my washer praying, doing a spiritual cleanse to exercise the demons, or do the ancient booby dance in the hopes that my bras make it through a cycle in 1 piece... This machine is amazing!.... Now I just sit by my old dryer praying that it will soon realize it's no match for this beautiful new contraption, and will move on to its final resting place, so my husband will let me buy the matching dryer.

I have now had my Maytag washer from Bestbuy for 18 months. I absolutely love her! Purchasing from Bestbuy was such a great experience. The sales person was helpful and took the time to understand my needs. I purchased the washer on Dec 17, and it was delivered Dec 22; installation went smoothly as the service persons were professional and knowledgeable. This Maytag washer has been terrific from day one to the present. I am pleased to say that I just made the final payment, as Bestbuy gave me 18 months to pay for it at zero interest. I highly recommend Bestbuy for appliance purchases!
