We got a new Maytag on the boat several trips back. I was sitting out there when the first load was put in it and I was shocked at how noisy it was and how it could be heard over the noise of the boat. I told the guys if I'd bought that one for my house, I would call and have them come back and get it. It 'clunks" loudly the whole time it is running and we always get the higher end washers, dryers, and dishwashers because they are used so much out there. I doubt this one lasts long... We already had a problem with the hot water gizmo that signals the hot water to cut on..

I have a Kenmore (Sears) at home that is 10 years old and that will be replaced with another Kenmore when it breaks.
