Still elated after 8 month usage
Date of Review: Oct 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you wanna save energy, time, and more money overall, don't hesitate to purchase a Maytag Bravos HE washer.
After 8 months of continuous use by 10 household (all family) members, I am extremely pleased to announce that this is by far the best washer money can buy. We use our Bravos 2-3 times a week, and not one time were we displeased with the final cleaning results. Dirty white socks always come out clean and dingy free. Also, I've experienced that using Tide with Febreeze causes my laundry room and clothes to retain that wonderful fragrance long after I've washed. Heavy use of chlorine bleach is not at all necessary; less is effective. This washer can take a huge comforter with a minute amount of detergent and make it spotless and fragrant. Washing your canvas shoes will bring effective results every time. All my baby's stained clothes are now mostly stain free, surprisingly using only cold water. Bravos is also a quiet washer. By the way, don't forget to school your household on the proper usage of HE detergent, less is usually adequate. Also I highly recommend using Affresh tablets (from Home Depot, Best Buy or Sears) once a month to completely clean the washer tub and common residue. Disregard reviews about the twisting of garments/sheets; the user manual will explain proper use of this washer. Trust me, you'll never want for a better washer machine.
