What is the best brand out there?
-
I had a Maytag that lasted for over 50 years. When I got it it was 27 years old and it lasted me another 26 years. It ran fine and I used it at least once a week. It was even in our basement when it flooded then froze, and it still ran fine.
-
I have a Kenmore washer and dryer. They have served me well. But that Maytag sounds like a real workaholic.

Depends on what you like. Everybody will tell you something different. I know people who have had a Roper for years and it works great. But it is the cheapest brand so a lot of people swear it is junk.

I'm in the market for an inexpensive but good washing machine too. So thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. :)
-
I have a Frigidaire and have had it for a while. I like it and it is not that expensive
-
We have a G.E brand. It works pretty good.
-
I have a Whirlpool that has lasted over 30 years and it's still going strong. :) :) :) :)
-
I have a Maytag and love it. It is only 3 years old, but my last Maytag lasted over 35 years and was still working, but I felt it was time to upgrade and get a new washer and dryer.
-
I have been using my current Whirlpool High Efficiency Washer & Dryer for about 11 years now and have had no problems with either one of them.
-
I like Kenmore. It has last me a long time.

I think if you ask people in general you will get different brands because everyone has had a different experience. I would go on different ratings sites and see which brand they are giving better ratings. If nothing else, call up several appliance repair places and ask which brands seem to break down most often. Maybe you will get a consensus there.
-
Get the brand at a store that you know going to be there for awhile. Big appliance think about lemon insurance, I got a new machine that away once.

Last year bought a new Roper washer and dryer....$498 for the pair delivered and set up from Lowes with my military discount....been good so far....lower brand made by Whirlpool.

yah know i have never understood this question.. as well as what is the best fridge.. or dishwasher.. doesn't all appliances no matter what the brand do the same thing?? Don't get me wrong.. i am sure their may be a diffrence... I just don't know it.. or understand the question behind it.. because to me a washer is a washer.. the brand doesn't matter to me as long as my clothes come out nice and clean :)

I had my washing machine for over a year :D
-
I've used Whirlpool for years and have never had any problems.

I had a Maytag washer and dryer over 50 years. I inherited them from my uncle. When the washer gave out, I went to Whirlpool and I've had it 25 years. I had to replace the doohickey that makes it run when the top is closed, cost $30 and easy fix but otherwise no problem.
As for the Maytag dryer, had that as long. During the youngest son's days living at home. he did his own laundry. Left a butane lighter in his pocket...thank heavens I had a smoke alarm in the hallway where the washer and dryer were kept. Fire dept. kept the fire to the dryer. So I know have a Kenmore dryer. No problems so far.
Guy at the appliance repair store where we got the part of the washer said to keep any older appliances as long as possible because the new ones are made to wear out in 10-15 years if not sooner.
-
I have had a Frigidaire since 2005 when I moved into my house and it still going strong knock on wood hopefully it will last me another 10 years because I can’t afford to buy new ones at this time
-
There are a lot of good washing machines out there. I prefer Maytag, they work consistently without any problems.
-
would just get the Costco one - hard to beat - easy to replace and affordable!
-
GOOGLE: HR washers and expand all the questions "People also ask".
Front loaders are the best because they lack the center
spinning tower that damages so many clothes.
I hope you find all the answers you are looking for.

I had a GE that came with my house, I bought a brand build home 20 years ago, it lasted maybe 15 years or so. Now I have an LG that I absolutely love and hope it last me for a long time. But I really thing it depends on what you want, want you can afford and your own preferences. I know people that swears that Kenmore are the best, and I know people that told me that it was bad. I really think is just your luck. I have had to replace everything but the refrigerator in my house, all GE, stove died about 3 years ago, fridge it going but on life support. I have a neighbor with exactly the same appliances as mine and his are still going strong.
So as far as brands go just look for what you want on it and how much you can afford.

I had a Kenmore for over 30 years and it was great. Bought a Samsung about 3 years ago and wish I didn't. Sorry I did not go back to another Kenmore.

LOL, I thought the same thing BUT. Some have told me to stay away from Samsung and well as LG. The fridges and washing machines and even cars are not made like they use to be many many years ago. hence the question :)

It depends what are you looking for.
