Miele  🦾 

 The cheapest Maytag you can find 

 Just get a 30 year old refurbished machine used analog machine for 200 dollars 

 Yeah I do hear a lot of "they don't make em like they used to" when it comes to dryers 

 Whirlpool 

 I was told Speed Queen is the brand to check out. Waiting till our stuff kicks the bucket... 

 Supposedly U S made but i have not fully verified, they also produce a line of commercial machines as in for laundromats 

 I prefer the top load style with an agitator.  Just bought a Maytag that has been great so far, but it’s only been about 6 months.  I had a front load Samsung and the drum constantly came loose and got extremely loud, then broke.  Also, the front load ones tend to get water caught in the rubber that stinks unless you leave the door open to let it dry out after every use.  That’s a problem I’ve never had with the top load style.

 we have a set from LG that has lasted us close to 15 years, no servicing other than a deep clean every year or two 

 LG washer and dryer. Front load. Not one issue. 

 I’ve been a home inspector for 12 years and a realtor for 12 years before that. I’ve been in over 10,000 strangers homes and operated appliances in about 5000 of them.

Samsung is garbage. Lots of touchscreen or fancy gimmicky shit that breaks too easy.

Whirlpool and GE seem to be the most reliable. However, lots of people experience problems in the first five years and they generally don’t last past seven. 

Next time I buy a washer/dryer I’m going to buy a commercial grade Speed Queen like they use in laundromats. That or some entry-level Amana that still has mechanical dials. 

 Check out speed queen 

 Not sure if @NVK mentioned it, but apparently most of the manufacturers  use white label service, so they are all kinda the same

Maybe the advice was to buy local made good brand machine

I’m trying to locate that tweet/note 

 Speed queen, but they are much smaller than the consumer brands 

 Buy a cheap top loaded washer and cheap dryer. If there is a problem they are cheap to replace, but they seem to have fewer issues regardless. LG, Samsung, and Electrolux all have issues. Ran into the same problem with “certified” techs on the newest set of fancy washers and dryers. After four visits and no fix with warranty “repairs” I ended up fixing the issue myself through trial and error. The factory missed some screws  and that caused problems with the electronics when the machine was operating. 

 Find a set of old Maytags if you can. The ones built in the 80’s and before are damn near indestructible. 

 LG front loaders are great, when they break they're easy to fix and the parts are super cheap. 

 Have 1 20-year old washer and dryer Whirlpool pair that's still kicking. the 8-year old models have each needed replacement parts twice and aren't working. 

 Check out consumer reports magazine at your local library. Normally you have to pay for it. They test products and provide excellent ratings and reviews. 

 I have speed queen.  Only thing I’ve had to do is pull a sock out of the pump over last 10 years. Does a load pretty quickly compared to previous front loader.  Probably uses a lot more water. 

 i had an issue with the washer here and down at the nearby appliance/furniture store there was a really nice thing that was all analog, had like 3 dials and no displays all old school

what i hate about the new stuff is the lack of real flexibility

like, why can't i have a 60'C fast wash? anyone care to explain that to me? maybe i live in a place with lots of mites and ticks and it's important that my clothes don't harbor nasties after i get back from the field? 

 I own a maid business and we do 10-15 loads per day. We like the basic LGs. They have lasted for years and are abused. 

 We have front load LG units that have lasted us 5 years so far with no issues. I don’t know the model number, but pretty basic. No wifi, touchscreen, Bluetooth bullshit. I would avoid all that if possible. 

 In Denmark we all know that Miele is expensive but worth the money because the last forever. 

 Can't speak strongly on brand, but I don't like front load washers.  They typically use so little water that I don't feel like they get clothes really clean.  I strongly prefer the top load that doesn't have the spindle in the middle. 

 #askhousekeeper 😂 

 I would look for old stuff on marketplaces or go to a thrift store. Most new machines must connect to the internet to even power on. 

 Bosch 👍 

 Maytag Speed Queen. No frills. It just works all the time forever. 

 I use the basic bare bones non nonsense and highly serviceable Sears/Kenmore 110.

No digital displays.
No bullshit High Efficiency modes.
An actual agitator.
 

 Miele.
The cheapest lines are usually very simple without any screens and yet still very reliable  

 Miele. 

 Our government has us using a stand pipe and clothes lines. Because of our state kinship we barely get proper water supplies 🤷 

 I just bought my first ever Washer and dryer set. $175 used on OfferUp. Dryer works great but I needed to spend $25 on a new cable to connect to my older outlet. Washer works... but bangs due to imbalance, turns out it needs new suspension rods which after shipping, and 2 other small items recommended at the same time, was about $75. All in all $275 plus some time to repair them is a pretty good deal for a washing machine and dryer set! Going used is always going to save you money if you can spend the time to get / keep them working. Also saves things from landfills which is a big plus in my book.

If money is no object though, and you don't want to get your hands dirty, Speed Queen is what I've read as being the best quality money can buy. That and Maytag Commercial. 🍻 

 Speed Queen! 

 shhh! 

 Wear white tees and jeans.
For laundry use bucket of water, beat the clothes against rocks.  

 worked with repairing these stuff. Miele never broke down, held up for 25 years+ 

 Got almost 20 years out of a Whirlpool duet front loader but I'd be surprised if they still make them that reliable. 

 So many brands use the exact same components, there is a big overlap in the offering. Usually unless you go for commercial grade you will not get more quality by paying more, you will just getmore gadgets that are likely to break. I try keeping and fixing all my appliances nyself gor as long as I can, because the newer stuff is even more flimsy and not serviceable...

 Buy a pre-eco model from a local refurbisher. 

 And if it needs to look nice build a shroud 

 ^ 

 Speed Queen washer, awesome machine, knobs and buttons. Plus good customer service. Dryer is just a simple Maytag - works fine.  With 3 boys in the house, my wife does A LOT of washing 

 never had a speed queen/t-y will keep in mind

 LG is unreliable garbage. I have an excellent GE set with none of the digital nonsense. 

 Electrolux for 14 years😎 

 gas/older whirlpool 4 drying   electric/pre eco, kenmore, maytag, talk to local refurb people for reliable with available parts/ income property exp. but left that 2016 so might be outdated 

 14+ yrs 

 nothing supposedly smarter than U Guy 

 Simple is best ! 

 LG top load washer and gas dryer 

 I like the older Kenmores.  They're very reliable and don't have all that IOT circuitry to spy on you. 

 We got LG in 2015. Had one minor issue with a relay in the control panel maybe 5 years in (which after I bought the part, but before I installed it, corrected itself). It's got the digital timer display, and 'bubble' buttons, but no 'smart' screen or anything.
