So far, it's great

I purchased a Maytag front loader in 2010, and couldn't have had a worse experience. Shirts and towels would stink when damp, the machine needed regular repairs, and it accumulated significant amounts of black mold in the door seal (in spite of leaving the door open and using Affresh). In other words, it exhibited all of the hallmarks of a typical front load washer. I swore I'd go to a front loader when I got the chance. Sure enough, the front loader broke down again and this time I went to the Best Buy site to shop for a new machine, rather than get the old one working to its usual sub-standard level.
Because of the stellar reviews on this model, I decided to give Maytag a second chance. Well, so far, so good. It looks really nice, and seems to work like a real washer should.. Towels finally smell clean after 7 years. Most users may shy away from customizing the settings, but if you aren't afraid of that you will really be able to tailor each cycle to your liking. The deep fill option is a plus. The basin is big. Unless something suddenly changes, I definitely recommend this machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Consumer Reports rated this machine Fair/poor on "Gentleness." I am having second thoughts. How does the machine perform on a gentle or hand wash cycle? Does it tear up clothing and wear clothing out on regular cycles? This is my one hesitation....help

Nah, it's fine. The cool thing is that you can adjust the agitator speed (it's referred to as "soil level" in the dial), which is what beats up the clothes. If you are super worried about the clothes, just put that setting on low. You have the ability to adjust temperature, spin speed, and agitator speed.
