Im old enough to remember when you could expect an appliance to last 15 to 20 years. Our washer is 7 years old and its leaking. We know a guy who fixes them. He said 7 years is very good, many only last 4 to 5 years now. So I guess fixing it may be a waste. My SIL has lived in her house for 21 years and just bought her 4th set. Its disgusting.
The appliance repair guy told me that for washers and dryers, buy a Speed Queen.
Made in the USA.
Rugged design.
Should last 20-25 years.
Most other brands are not designed to last.
MAGA Bloodbath
I was happy to leave our front loaders when we moved 3 years ago. We purchased a speed queen set a couple years ago. The washer even has an agitator like the old school washers did.
This is the brand you find in the laundry mat. Has a 7 year warranty. That’s one of the longest warranties these days.
I’ve also read Miele (German I think?) has great appliances. Though No personal experience yet.
There seems to be a shift back to top-load washers from what I can discern.
