My hubby can fix anything, so we've actually never bought one! People give us their old ones if we ever need one [once in 26 years], he repairs them and we're good to go. Dishwashers too. Stoves, you name it....he's pretty handy to have around, lol.

I have a tiny little space for the laundry and had to go with the stacked duo. It has problems, so I won't even say where I got it or what it is (If I even knew that right now!)

You're right,things aren't made to last anymore. No more new appliances lasting 30 years! I have always used <br />Kenmore because they are easy to DIY fix, except ones that have digital options..those need codes. The parts for Kenmore are fairly generic. We just Google our problem and troubleshoot from there.

The first one I kept for a week and had it returned, it was too loud, fully digital and took about an hour and a half for a small load. The lids lock on all of them (hate that). The one I finally chose is a top loader GE, very large capacity, and at the low end of the digital scale. All it says on the washer is GE Deep Fill.

As for the appliances. My washer and dryer are going on 17 yo and other than too low I am happy!!! Front loaders before they started to look like aliens with big eyes!!! I can only suggest that you NOT get Samsung or LG, repair parts are very hard to come by.... Now go sew something!!!Beth@IHaveANotion.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431103172678397165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-36218999718934217732017-02-06T07:41:04.902-05:002017-02-06T07:41:04.902-05:00Recently bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer.......Recently bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer......a little more money but they are heavy duty and so very very quiet.

I just buy a machine, use it till it dies and buy another, lol. I try to get the best I can for the cheapest price, I know they won't last, so buying the fancy ones won't make any difference in how it washes or dries;)<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.com
