Im old enough to remember when you could expect an appliance to last 15 to 20 years. Our washer is 7 years old and its leaking. We know a guy who fixes them. He said 7 years is very good, many only last 4 to 5 years now. So I guess fixing it may be a waste. My SIL has lived in her house for 21 years and just bought her 4th set. Its disgusting.
The appliance repair guy told me that for washers and dryers, buy a Speed Queen.
Made in the USA.
Rugged design.
Should last 20-25 years.
Most other brands are not designed to last.

Also, my brother purchased a Laundromat a few years ago.
He got rid of the few Maytag units that were there.
All of his machines now are Speed Queen.
