I don't believe where something is made has a guaranteed relationship to quality. It all depends on the design, materials and quality control.
If I may chime in with my $.02, I don't recommend the Maytags any more. They just haven't been doing well since they went to the 'direct-drive' pumps.
The most reliable (and time-proven) machines I'm seeing for the $ right now are the standard vertical-axis (midrange) Whirlpools. Stay with a mechanical timer vs electronics - if you can find one.
The new Whirlpool tall-tubs look promising, but it's to early to tell. And I've had to service several under warranty already.
Hope that helps someone a bit.
I bought a new Maytag 4 or 5 years ago. It's very quiet, cleans nicely. My only complaint is that every once in a long while it will stop mid-cycle (as if the power went out). The only solution is to start over from the beginning...
