I bought an American-made Maytag washer and dryer set earlier this year. If it cost more than it might have without a tariff, I didn’t notice. I value American jobs.
Personally I only by older reconditioned models. At least until the Bush era environmental specs which prevent them from actually getting your clothes clean are repealed.
I also bought American and didn’t note the difference. However, the NYTimes claims that I must have been left “with a sky-high bill for every factory job created.”

It’s better than being “taken to the cleaners” by the Chinese.
Maytag machines are not made in the US. They are assembled in the US.
