That is the Maytag washer I have, and I really, really like it. I've only had it 5 years (I've had my Speed Queen dryer for 8) but it works like the day I bought it.

The version in the photo is the one you want.
The new Maytag Commercial stuff is comparable in quality to the old Speed Queens.

They are not water efficient at ALL, which Consumer Reports weighs very heavily.
However, most of the energy from washing clothes comes from hot water, but modern good detergents are designed to clean with cold water. I run nothing but a cold water (or cool, in the winter, via the Maytag) wash and have no issues with stains whatsoever (I have three small children).
