It's the chafing, not the washer. I'm sorry you had to hear it like this. 😔🫡

Nice! I looked at a set brand new last month for $2600...

My method is to put the clothes into a soaking cycle for 30 minutes, then wash on delicate.

/s?

Either that or the thermal fuse, which will blow if someone tries to run several loads without cleaning the lint trap.

My water heater is ducted to vent outside of the garage. It looks quite similar to a normal dryer vent, but the ducting is a much larger diameter.

But those springs in the clothespins will wear out if you use them too much....

We fixed the ignition in my gas dryer ourselves. Honestly, dryers are just very easy to fix if their problem isn’t computer related.

Great. Doesn't mean that the complaints aren't valid, since they made major changes to the lineup in 2019-2020

>old angered washers

I hereby charge that this old angered washer did feloniously and without just cause munch on premium dress shirts until they were deprived of all form and appearance.

The dynamics get even better in the south, where we absolutely need air conditioning.

Heat pump water heater in the house means cheap hot water and free air conditioning.

I haven't picked one yet but it's coming soon, before summer!

I'd really like one I can duct to a external air supply/exhaust in the winter, I have yet to select a model.

I have a ti-89 from either 2000 or 2001 and it still works perfectly. Really well-made devices. Also have an 82 from the 90's somewhere I should dig up, that thing was as rugged as the old Nokia phones.

I talked with the factory when I purchased mine, they have always made commercial and homeowners with the only difference is the commercial has a coin box. Both of ours are going on 10 years

I bought a pair in 2018 and have had no issues

They are not water efficient at ALL, which Consumer Reports weighs very heavily.

However, most of the energy from washing clothes comes from hot water, but modern good detergents are designed to clean with cold water. I run nothing but a cold water (or cool, in the winter, via the Maytag) wash and have no issues with stains whatsoever (I have three small children).

That is the Maytag washer I have, and I really, really like it. I've only had it 5 years (I've had my Speed Queen dryer for 8) but it works like the day I bought it.

Makes me feel old that this is a “buy it for life” post on a product that didn’t exist when I bought my standard TI-84 in Algebra 1 which is still kicking it by the way lol. My wonderful TI-89 lives on my desk still used daily and that was bought in 2010(?) now I feel old

Better call an exorcist.

They're also terribly inefficient. The money you save on the purchase and longevity is eaten up by your energy and water bills.

When it comes to appliances, this is an important consideration when it comes to "buy it for life" thinking.

The color is “grime”

My parents got married in 1977. They bought a Maytag washer and dryer. They finally replaced them because of broken parts that couldn't be procured in 2019 and 2022. They only had minor repairs 3-4 times on each machine over the entire life.

They replaced them with SpeedQueens.

How is the energy and water efficiancy on these``?

Ah damn. That's a massive shame then. I'd hope they do get better because heat pumps used to not even work in the UK but the technology has moved on since then
