    We purchased a top-of-the-line Maytag MVW7230HC washer and matching dryer from Elgin Electric in…read moreElgin, Oregon. We're 18-months into a $2,000.00 purchase. The dryer works great. The washing machine is junk. We've already had the washer repaired once as soon as the one-year warranty expired and it has now failed again. Do some Internet research and you'll find this washer has widely-known issues. The machine doesn't allow nearly enough water into the tub to properly wash the clothes. Because of the fact the machine is trying to wash half wet, half dry clothes, there is significant load placed on the motor and agitating parts. Now the machine is making a knocking noise, indicating worn out parts. The clothes stink and aren't completely clean when the cycle completes. A horribly designed and manufactured product. There are numerous similar complaints about this machine, yet Elgin Electric in Elgin, Oregon continues to sell this junk. When I complained several times to them, their response was "Well, yeah that machine doesn't use much water. Try using the Normal cycle only". So, I bought a heavy duty machine with a heavy duty cycle and I can't use it and that is your solution? Not only are we out $1,000.00 but now we need to spend another $1,400.00 to buy a Speed Queen commercial washer (with simple mechanical controls and a 7-year warranty), which we should have done in the first place. Nobody is going to buy a used washing machine with known problems, so I guess this one is going to the dump. When I emailed the owners and voiced my complete dissatisfaction and informed them I will no longer shop at their store, they didn't even bother to respond to my message - that speaks volumes. Just another small-town business with a monopoly that sells what makes them the most profit, and we the consumers suffer. If I owned a business and I discovered a brand/product I was selling was inferior or defective I would stop selling that product and disassociate myself with the brand to preserve my good reputation and business name. Elgin Electric's pre-sales and delivery service/setup was excellent, but if they are continuing to sell inferior products and have this "it's not our problem" attitude after the sale, then we are no longer customers. I'm done shopping local! Don't buy this machine! Watch YouTube video titled "Fixing A Newer Style Maytag Washer That Is Making A Clicking Noise!" It describes the poor quality and one of the known problems.
