The amount of use makes a difference - just like miles on a car.
We're on our second Maytag - and I've had to repair both of them. With
four kids, we've washed a LOT of clothes. Both washers had seals
damaged by stuff from kids pockets that got into them, then the water
either corrodes what's left

Anything can fail but the question is can it be repaired economically.
Strange how people put up with cars breaking down but if a washing
machine decides to go down after 6 years people are in shock.

Depends what you are after, if you just want a machine then anything
will do but if you are interested in the long term then you have to look
at machines that are servicable. We have had Miele machines in our
family for decades and while they are more expensive than Asian brands,
they are build

We're still running a 13 year old Maytag top loader here. With 4 kids,
it gets used a LOT. 6-7 loads a week, at least. I've had to replace a
timer and a tub seal, but that's it.

This was something I didn't realize, either. In fact,
my drying times are lower because the clothing comes
out of the washer much dryer that with a top-loader.
I will say that my purchase was precipitated by the
failure of my 6 year old Maytag, which blew the
transmission. There was no reason fo

Door gaskets are a wear item. They will need to be replaced at some
point, but then the pump on every top load washer I've ever used
eventually leaked and had to be replaced, too.

The best long term one would be a Speed Queen (non-electronic), but
they require attendance (they hop all over the place if the load
doesn't balance on the spin cycle) and are expensive -- $1500 last time
I looked a couple years ago.
I ended up with a Bosch from Lowe's -- I believe they still c

That bothers me too. That and the fact that our water
is effectively free means that there is not likely one
in our immediate future.
I also did a bunch of research about three years ago and chose the top Kenmore
front loader.
To answer your question about getting clothes clean, it does so quite well.
It tosses your clothes throught the soapy water, which is more like hand

Timely subject for us as well. The Hotpoint appliances in our new (c.
15 yr. old) house are all pretty poor. The washer has this mildewy
smell that I have not been able to irradicate despite thorough
cleaning with straight bleach.

I just cut about 35% off my water bill by going to a front

What brand/model did you go with? I'll be in the market for one very soon
since we're buying a house. My parents have a Maytag Neptune that seems to
be working well for the past 5 years. The laundro
