Washing machines? Really? America used to produce really good ones that would last 10-15 years. Remember the Maytag repairman commercials?

So our tarrifs are hurting an industry that imports junk that lasts 3-4 years.

If I banged my brothers head against a dishwasher today it would break apart. Back then it was sturdy.

The key phrase there is "used to". Maytag got bought by Whirlpool and much of their manufacturing is overseas.

My new washer and dryer: Maytag. Made in USA. We’re planning a kitchen renovation. Consciously attempting to purchase made in USA products.

What?! The dishwasher or your brother’s head?

Got a 27 year old Maytag washer. Works fine and just keeps going.
