I’ve always had good luck with Whirlpool.
We too, and we have also had Sears. Wer not so bad, but to be honest I do not know how old each of the Sears were/are, and just now have a Whirpool drier.
Too bad Westinghouse doesn’t exist. Used to be good. I finally bought replacements for my parents after 30 years. They were still working, just other stuff made them not good. Bad thing? The machines i bought have been replaced just recently, meaning 10-15 years of service. I think it was Whirlpool, don’t remember. Not bad, but not like those ‘60s Westinghouse!
We have too but this last washer we bought is a Roper, which is the same as a Whirlpool with a different name and about $100 cheaper. It replaced a 25 year old Whirlpool.
First whirlpool lasted 20 years. Second one is going on eight years.
1 repair call in 28 years. I guess 2 if you count the one that took out the first washer. Not a bad track record.
Top-loaders last longer and are less expensive to fix. Go with Whirlpool.
