Th...I have never had anything but a Maytag either. That could be because my dad used to be a Maytag dealer in his "general" hardware store. My first Maytags, which were used trade-ins, were 28 years old when they gave out. The second set did not last as long, although it did last through cloth diapers and getting the oldest child out of high school. I think the washer actually got damaged in a move. My set at our other house was the presumably "cursed" Maytag Neptune. They were still going strong after 12 years without a single repair call. However, considering their age and my former experience, I was a little afraid to move them. Also, the dryer was gas, and this is an all-electric house. The cost of putting in a gas line just for the dryer seemed excessive. My new set is much more industrial looking. The washer is a front-loader, but the set is a size down from the Maximas. I just don't do that much bulk laundry anymore, particularly now that I'm not working and having to rush at night. So far, I'm pleased, but I haven't used all the bells and whistles yet. My dishwasher is Maytag as well. I've had good luck with them. Where we live, only the big box stores have the Bosch, and I was a little uncertain about their customer service. Perhaps I should have upgraded my range, but it's electric, smooth top, and has a self-cleaning oven. It is the model that just came with the house, so if I don't like it, I can always get another without feeling like I've lost everything. I brought my nearly new, bottom-freezer refrigerator with me. <br /><br />I'm glad you're getting a little down-time from the stress.
