When we replaced our washing machine earlier this year we purposefully went with the one that had the least electronic bells and whistles.

Bought my wife Speed Queen washer and dryer set about five years ago and from what she says, they work great. This set was to replace the Maytag washer & dryer we bought right after we got married. That set lasted 20 years.

Too many chips trying to do too many things means a lot of things can go wrong. This calls for the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid).

I have a top-loading Maytag from the late 90’s and plan on using it and getting it repaired forever.

Did I mention it’s never needed servicing since I bought it?

He was talking “old school” though.

I think my mom had an old Maytag washer that lasted like 25 years.

We got a GE Commercial washer from a building supply company. Just a tub, agitator and 3 knobs. Top load.

Front loaders are mold machines and don’t clean for shite. Who needs an app and Wi-Fi to clean clothes?

It's the fancier, more hi tech washers that break more often. Just go with something super basic (if you can find one)

these are cool and all but for $1400 msrp, I’ll just buy an actual base model Maytag for $500
