Maytag M6X06F2A Thru-Wall/Window Air Conditioner

Pros: Good Value
Cons: Noise, ability to cool

I was extremely disappointed with this product. The loud banging noises that come from it when the fan kicks on wakes me up out of a dead sleep. If you are a light sleeper like me, do not buy it. I also felt it did not cool the room that well.

Pros: Excellent temperature and humidity control Excellent auto fan speed control
Cons: Compressor is extremely NOISY

I bought this unit a few weeks ago for our bedroom. The unit works very well keeping the bedroom within + - 1 Degree F.
The only bad thing about this air conditioner is the EXTREME NOISE AND VIBRATION generated when the compressor is on for cooling. The people that service Maytag air conditioners told me only the larger units are quieter. I can tolerate some noise while awake, but not when trying to sleep.

Pros: cools the room and the buttons make sense
Cons: too loud to sleep, turns your house into a symphony of rattling vibrations

While writing this, I am waiting on hold with Maytag. It's been over 30 minutes of muzak and annoying reminders about calling the local Maytag repair guy. Wait, they just picked up. Okay, they say that are completely unaware of the noise problem. I told them that my whole front wall is vibrating and rattling the windows in my house. They say they've never heard about this before. They suggest I call my local servicer. I tell them that I already did and it'll be two weeks before they can come out and then mostly likely do nothing. Lovely. What next? Oh, wait. I'm on hold again. Okay, they're back. I've got another number to call for a servicer that's 2 hours away. Fine. But what about the emails that I've sent? I've gotten no response so far. Oh, the website has the wrong email address you say? Whatever. Can I talk to your boss? Oh, you are the boss. Lovely. Click. Okay, I've called another local servicer and got an aswering service and left a message. Does anyone know where to turn for some accountability for this crappy product?

Pros: None
Cons: Noisy, cheap construction, terrible warranty service.

Maytag has chosen to outsource production of their A/C units to Fedders, who ultimately outsources production to China. I'm not sure which Chinese manufacturer produces this product, but mine lasted only two years before a compressor failure. Maytag's warranty may be for 5 years, but when it takes over a month to receive parts for a warranted repair, one has to wonder how good the warranty really is. I will never buy another Maytag product again (similar repair experience with their washer and dryer); I just hope Whirlpool realizes the problems they inherited when buying Maytag. "The Dependability People"? Not in my book.
