Wow, a sample size of 2. Very scientific

Should’a bought a Speed Queen

I believe this because I had an old microwave from the 80s not a single issue, bought a new one the light went after a few weeks lol

I'm so thankful my house came with a super old washer and dryer. They work so well. I had to replace the one vent hose thing for the dryer, but that's because my cat thought she could sit on it and it ripped out of the wall when she landed on it.

Requires wifi. Sends gigs of data back to the manufacturer everyday. But it has pretty chime.

We have a Miele we bought 13 years ago and which has far outlived the projected amount of washing cycles. I had to replace the water splitter, but apart from that it's still running fine. I heard that more recent Miele machines don't last as long, though.

Please upvote this comment so it gets visibility. I just want people to hear this.

European brands in America are not good. They are few and far between and are very difficult to repairs when and if they break.

There are a few exceptions like Bosch dishwashers which are very prevalent in America. Don't get the others recommended in this comments thread. At the very least in America they're hard to repair hard to get parts for and are extremely expensive you are much better off sticking with American brands.

What you want to avoid is whirlpool and Samsung. Everything else is fine hands down Whirlpool makes the worst appliances they are truly terrible and should not be purchased under any circumstance. Samsung makes the worst refrigerator worse than even whirlpool. The other appliances to Samsung makes are very mediocre although I will admit their washers and dryers are not bad.

In my opinion LG makes the best appliances in America right now because I service very very little of them. If I do up the service them it can be a little difficult to find parts for them but I still recommend them me

GE is very middle of the road and generally a good option for anything that you want to get they make appliances that are absolutely not the worst but also not necessarily the best.

Stick with the major brands don't get one off European brands here in America they're not worth it.

I just had to get the fridge-freezer in my apartment replaced because the freezer started growing ice everywhere like that was its job, nothing I did helped. When the landlord came to take a look he was surprised by how old the one I had was, he looked it up and it's been here since 1993. I've lived here since 2016, and it worked perfectly until a couple of months ago. While the new fridge-freezer combo (one of those that's half fridge, half freezer on top of each other, same as the old one) is much better in many ways, it's obvious it won't survive for even 1/3rd of the time that the old one did. The one thing that annoys me is that my fridge magnets can't hold themselves up on the new doors because the metal is too thin, they just slide down to the bottom edges.

I personally used the same washing machine from the time I was 13 until I was 36.

Been through some dryers though, and the old washer gave out a few years ago. I probably could have repaired it but I couldn’t find the time.

This has literally been me over the last 3 years. Started making decent money so figured we would replace our old faithful washer and dryer, mostly due to growing family and needing bigger capacity. Fuck Samsung. Washer shit out 2 months outside warranty, and would have cost the price of the washer to fix it. The 'auto balancing system' is fucking bullshit. I don't care if my washer bounces around because the load is unbalanced. My parents' washer could be as unbalanced as shit and didn't matter because the whole bin had supports to the frame of the washer. Was it loud if it was an unbalanced load? Fuck yeah. But you could simply rebalance yourself, and continue if you really wanted to. Not necessary though. It would finish washing if it had power, and no force could stop it.

Your appliances and devices will all be enshittified and you will be happy.
