Think our dryer is toast. Recs on washers and dryers? Ones to avoid like the plague?

Get a Samsung just for the music it plays.
Speed Queen top load washing machine. Bulletproof and made in the USA. Expensive but worth it. All the appliance salespeople have them. Ours is the T5 w agitator.
We have had Maytag in the past and they were good before being bought by Whirlpool. The Whirlpool front load we had looked really nice but was a maintenance nightmare.
Dryers are less sensitive to brand. Not much to go wrong, but who wants a mix and match washer/dryer set?

Never heard of speed queen. Thanks will give it a look
Me either. Very intriguing.
Speed Queen Review: We Toured the Factory and Tested Their Classic Washer. Here’s What We Learned.
Speed Queen “found a loophole” in efficiency regulations that allowed it to reintroduce its cult-classic top-loader. We tested that washer out.

Bought a new W&d this spring...GE both...bought at costco because it's covered for 4 years. Anything breaks down on them in that 4 year window and I get a new replacement because that's how Costco rolls !! About $1600 total bill.
The GE brand was bought by a Chinese company, Haier. I think they are made here in the US but the management is Chinese. I try to buy American brands when possible. Speed queen is made in Wisconsin
Sounds like a piece of shit lol. I’m sure morons who think they’re rich will buy these and waste money on water and excessive upfront cost.Me either. Very intriguing.

I might consider just buying the dryer for now and let the washer wear out. That’s what we did when we bought the washing machine. Still using the frontload whirlpool until it wears out
Except it isn’t. Talk to someone who knows their shit like a mechanical engineer, appliance repair or sales people, etc, you dumb ass, LOL.

Why would you need a commercial washing machine in your house? They’re built to run hours and hours more than you would ever use it in your lifetime. It’s just a dumb decision unless you’re running a boarding house.
A podcast I listen to had the author of the Jack Welch story ( The Man who broke Capitalism) and he had mentioned that GE hasn't made an appliance in years.Good luck trying finding any product that doesn't have Chinese fingerprints on it these days !!
I was away when the wife texted me it was making horrible noises and would then stop. It has performed poorly for years but rallied when she took some super wet stuff out. Looks like crisis has been averted but this is now on my short term radar…
We have an LG top load and it sucks for larger loads. Errors out for “uneven load” all the time.
SIL got one of the top load GEs w/out agitator. Is not happy with how it cleans really dirty sports clothes. Hers is 5 years old. Possible they’ve improved.
