All about the same if you change the oil regularly and keep up with the scheduled maintenance.

Get you a used white set from 20 years ago for like $150 on fb and it’ll last you the rest of your life

Stay away from Samsung. I would also highly recommend using C&C Home Appliances. Their customer service is top notch and they price match.

People swear by Speed Queen, but the dryer/washer combo that I have (six years old) needs constant repairs. They have a long warranty but shops don’t seem to want to fix them so I’ve had to do a lot of the repairs myself.
When we need to buy again it definitely won’t be Speed Queen.

Everyone I know with a front load washer has had their main board go out on them…it costs more to fix them than get a new one. The more expensive they are, the shittier they are. I’m sticking with my old top loader.

I bought a Kenmore washer and dryer set back in March 2016 and the only thing that’s happened is the heating element in the dryer went out. Took me about 5 minutes switching it out and like $20 on Amazon then it was good as new. You can still buy Kenmore stuff online but it is getting harder and harder to find. I believe Whirlpool is pretty much the same thing and it’s a decent brand, may want to look into those too.

A bit of advice you may or may not take but it’s right.
Top load with the minimal amount of settings. No efficiency anything. Tell them you want the loudest damn washer that uses the most water. If you wanna splurge a little.. buy Speed Queen top load.
NO front loaders. NO South Korean brands. NO bells and whistles.
It’s hell to get anything worked on nowadays if you buy from a box store. Try to find a local place.

i might buy a true commercial grade washer machine next time. dryers are whatever.

Speed Queen will be my next purchase. Second tier. Research that and there is a setting that basically allows you to fill your washer up like old times. So your clothes actually get clean.

Get normal looking washer and dryers and don’t get sucked into the fancy looking stuff and that it’s better.
The more simple, the better

If you’re not spending speed queen money, get an LG.

Maytag...minimal settings...top load...

I had the old set of white Kenmores that I bought like 20 years ago and they ran like champs until the washer started getting rust on clothes. Wife insisted on new stuff.
So we went and got talked into Electrolux front loaders by a guy at a high end appliance store. I was very reluctant because of horror stories and price. But I’ve got to say that 2 years in we are very happy with them. No quality issues on either and they are very quiet.
Now that I’ve posted this I’ll probably start having issues.

Washer = Top Load with an agitator. The cheapest larger capacity you can find at the Home Depot.
Dryer = The cheapest larger capacity you can find at the Home Depot.

How many people reading this saw their brand up here and were saying to themselves, "actually, mine has done just fine for many years."
And now are thinking, "oh frick, I just jinxed it"
