re: #23 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

How long have you had it?

I’m shocked by reviews of washing machines. They are all over the place. Quality control is inconsistent at best. Googling “reliability” returns a bunch of sites I’ve never heard of. Places like Lowe’s, Best Buy, etc. have user reviews that go from 1 to 5 stars.

I’m so bummed.

All appliances seem to be all over the lot on reliability. Some are better than others of course. Our first Samsung front loader never worked right, after months of trying to fix it, they finally gave us another which has been fine. On the other hand, the neighbor who raved about hers is now replacing it because of unspecified issues after 9 or 10 years.
Our Whirlpool dryer seems to be still working fine after 20 years.
I think the big problem is that so many appliances are extremely complicated and companies don’t support them after 10 or 12 years so you can’t fix even a minor problem.
