FWIW I take 80's and 90's Kenmore over Maytag anyday.

Maybe the maytag is a little better built, but the Kenmore's are super easy to work on and use the same parts being used now. While with Maytag almost everything changed when Whirlpool bought them.

I really don't deal with brand new stuff often. I get asked whats the best to buy and I say what I know to be built well. I praise Speed Queen, yet own LG. (to be fair, they were free) I'm really not a fan of the new GE stuff.
Nothing is made as good as it was pre-2005.

I had a Kenmore set I bought in 96 that worked great but the washer basket had a growing area where the finish was coming off. It looked bad even though it worked fine. I like the tough zinc finish of the set I have now.

Eta sucked that the wife wanted to try front loader and I should have known when we had installation problems and while waiting for it to be fixed hooked a hose in the garage to old faithful and ran cold water cycles on the old one.

The Kenmore worked great even sitting in the garage waiting to be sold. I was dumb for getting rid of something that worked fine.
