Any updates on recommendations for Top Loaders since your video came out?
Comment from : @cesargallegos9459

I had a Bosch front loader that was awful and lasted less than 4 years Repaired twice and I gave up Now my Samsung had the bearings replaced and few years ago but is always unbalanced now I’m trying speed queen now and hope I get lucky

Is it worth getting the Protection Plans? It seems appliances are so badly built these days that to not purchase the protection plan is short sighted?
Comment from : @ocdtechtalk

Not the best way to look at failure rates The 3 “best”, removing speed queen…are the least popular You would have to factor in number of units sold vs search results to understand the number of failures Many more Toyotas break down than Lamborghinis, doesn’t mean a lambo is reliable
Comment from : @5ryannnnn

The Maytag Commercial with the deep fill option and the full agitator is a good choice for a small family
Comment from : @daviddelpolito7067

Becko, Bloomberg, fisher paykel, berlatozzi are all made in turkey and are cloned copies with cheap Chinese parts and by the way lg is all Chinese junk

The amount of whirlpool appliances in the country is 3 to one!
Comment from : @daviddelpolito7067

The stackable lg and ge are complete garbage brThe heat pump dryers are going bad in the year or shortly afterbrThe whirlpool full size 27” one piece is the best
Comment from : @daviddelpolito7067

The ridiculous price of a tiny washer named Miele and Bosch is for suckersbrSpeed queen is definitely a better choice But defend lg shows your bias That company has screwed the customer over and over again with their crap refrigerator and dishwashersbrElectrolux and Frigidaire are the bottom of the line garbage and are not a repairable item due to poor engineering

The warranties are meaningless because they come out and replace one thing and it becomes a scam
Comment from : @ICU81269

Does the built in filter on the LG replace having to have a filter on the drain hose?
Comment from : @erniejade

The older Whirlpool washers have the best top load agitators I have an old Kenmore-Whirlpool and a newer (8 yr) Whirlpool that keeps showing up on Ben’s videos As he mentioned, “you can diagnose any problem with the led dial, and you need that because of their breakdowns” He’s right However, since I fix everything myself that breaks, these are my preferred washers The parts store seems to have all the parts I need The newer washer is a wtw4816fw1

My LG WM2277 front load washer's computer board just died after 19 years Buying another LG
Comment from : @chrisjenkins2326

oh my god just watching along this interesting video and was absolutely blindsided by the ff6/tactics vs ff7 joke at 15:30 and laughed out loud at my desk well played
Comment from : @harktischris

Yes - Speed Queen is top of the line…but mine was really tough on my clothes I noticed a distinct amount of abrasion on the seams and hems of my items when I had one…and believe me - I religiously sort clothes into “like piles” since my husband works construction…so no rough, no grimy jeans and work shirts mixed with my cotton tops and unmentionables, please!!💕
Comment from : @claudiamiller7730

I bought a home in 1989 with a Whirlpool already 20 years old It lasted many more years brbrEach Whirlpool I have bought since has decreased in quality After three machines, I finally went with a Speed Queen So far, very happy It is also far heavier than the Whirlpool

Asterisk for Speed Queen Most without electronic control customers do not understand how to read the error codes on the 4 LED panel with wash, rinse, spin, and lidlock LEDs

Those dexter washing machines are handsome asf Didn't know I'd be obsessed over appliances You know you're getting old (I'm 24) when your dream is to own well built appliances like these
Comment from : @Yasir997ify

Front loaders are nasty!! I kept the door open and tried bleaching the rubber etc
Comment from : @jackiemcgowan9899

Went speed queen Haven’t had a problem despite the Mrs constantly stuffing it like a sardine can
Comment from : @StinkyBlack1

Wow, I've done basically everything wrong, and I've had no issues! I guess I'm just lucky? We have a Samsung front loader I have never run any form of clean cycle on it, we shove it as full as it'll take, we fill the detergent up to the top, we run it with hard water, I clean that little filter at the bottom of the machine roughly every 3 years, and the thing has been working flawlessly for the last 12 years giving us beautifully clean clothes without any maintenance whatsoever!

Older video so not sure this will get any visibility I just had the spider arm on my LG break Do newer front loads have this issue?
Comment from : @epia125

I don't have 34 minutes to waste on your bloated video get to the point, be precise, this is not rocket science
Comment from : @moenibus

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! I’m thoroughly disgusted with the ones of late
Comment from : @janebadon3988

There's a simple reason why front loaders are now slightly more reliable than top loaders Top loaders are being made much worse than they were before, while front loaders are being made only slightly worse brI think your methodology for determining frequency of repair by using internet searches is flawed br Before I buy a major appliance I search to find out the most common repairs for the units I'm considering - AND- what information is available for repair I cost the repair parts and I determine whether I could do the work I use that to compare probable life cycle costs I also do this with other machinery like carsy simpler than average and cost less

Comment from : @BobbyDigital_TheCode

I purchased a Kenmore washer/dryer in 1992 and utilized it extensively without encountering any issues Notably, my husband was on active duty in the military, and we relocated approximately 16 times over the course of 30 years Prior to his retirement, we acquired our first home, which included newer models of our existing appliances Our old appliances, featuring wood veneer accents, were left unpacked in the garage for six years, we resided in an area characterized by extreme heat When the newer models began to underperform, we opted to upgrade My husband suggested gifting our old appliances to one of our son's friends, who had recently married The appliances remained in excellent condition and, to the best of my knowledge, continued to function properly Subsequently, I acquired a Kenmore top loader, touted as having large capacity, but soon realized that this purchase was a mistake My dark clothing emerged with white streaks, and I witnessed a sock being tossed atop the clothes, never making contact with the water, and emerging dry I exchanged the top loader for front loaders, despite my initial reservations Although I still possess these appliances, I am thoroughly dissatisfied with their performance The numerous cycles, which require 25 hours to complete a single load, are impractical Consequently, I have been compelled to utilize the express wash feature, as the extended cycle times are unfeasible The front loaders employ insufficient water, resulting in some items emerging half dry To mitigate this issue, I have resorted to soaking certain items prior to washing to increase their weight and facilitate the use of more water Now the washer buttons are beginning to malfunction, necessitating an impending upgrade I intend to acquire a model featuring an agitator, as I firmly believe that this design is superior to the top-loading flat plate configuration Interestingly, my son's friend, who received our old appliances, has not experienced any issues with them brbrThank you for a great video

Comment from : @delallegood5799

I have been married 39 years, when I got married my best friend gave me his old machines that had been given to them when they got married a few years earlier! The machines were Kenmore, and had been in my friends wifes family for a decade I had to replace them 3 years ago! Raised two children In the new golden age we need to go back and build mechanical machines that are durable!
Comment from : @greggibbs5288

This was extremely entertaining and educational, thank you!
Comment from : @808Mark

Kenmore lasted forever GE lasted forever in the old days The old white basic washers were the best

Thank you for the important information So helpful!
Comment from : @geralddrives873

My daughter had a front loader Maytag for two years and had to buy another new one The electronics they put on them make them worthless I bought a new one, sent it back and bought a second hand mechanical one, and I love it
Comment from : @SandyFerguson-o8z

Elexerlux is the best, I think
Comment from : @christinechurch8181

I don’t know if we got a lemon But our speed queens have been trouble for us The dryers heat element goes out a lot We have had ours for 4 years and about once a year we have had to replace the heating element in our dryer Currently we are dealing with the washer stopping mid cycle and leaving a tub full of water Not fun!!
Comment from : @whitneyhoffer6432

If you are going to buy a new washer and dryer make sure to do your homework We made the mistake of buying a new GE profile set in 2025 We only had them one day and returned them, absolute junk No matter what we did it would never fill up with water leaving the clothes on top dry half way through the wash We ended up buying a Speed Queen TR7003WN washer along with the TR7003DR dryer You can see them at 5:50 & 7:70 the set with the digital controls in the background
Comment from : @BulletSpoung

I had a Samsung washer and dryer The washer was OK, but the dryer was a huge piece of garbage! The heater coil broke 3 times and the drum belt broke once over the course of 10 years I’ve never seen anything like it I will never buy one again

Speed Queen is the best ever!

What about lesser known brands like Roper (made by Whirlpool) for washers and dryers?

Maytag 21 years , soon coming up on 22! I’m looking now just in case, but want a machine that will wash and wash king size comforters

Thanks! I have been researching washing machines for weeks! You helped me narrow down my choices and helped me from making huge mistakes
Comment from : @MarthaWorc

I listen to this guy and bought an Amana ntw4516fw that he had recommended, ends up being a very problematic washing machinebrI should have known better than to take advice from a guy dressed up like the Maytag repairman
Comment from : @ChipH-q3m

The difference is when a front load goes it usually can't be fixed My front load just broke one day and instantly became junk

Ohmylanta!! JD Vance got a real job 😂😂
Comment from : @robinbrown3523

I killed my TROMM LG, an excellent machine,by using the wrong detergent It was caked around the spin thing and the motor locked up and burned out I was devastated It was a 120000 washer in 2004 It’s dryer still works like a champ Use the correct detergent!
Comment from : @Anna-ww4pv

I bought a used Maytag Neptune about 15 years ago and it still works great The rubber boot needs cleaning but the unit has to be over 25 years old!!

To be 'best' it of course has to say 'speed queen' :O) with no led touch stuff!

Comment from : @szilivamarsa5862

what is the difference between LG WM3670 and WM3600, Costco near me is only selling WM3600 Should i get the 5 year warranty?

I have a Frigidaire front loader made in Augusta, Georgia from almost 20 years ago Still works and works everyday!
Comment from : @marshallfischer3667

i just wish they had larger capacity speed queens for king sized bedding
Comment from : @tinaT-g2p

The new 'wash plate' doesn't get the clothes clean, and doesn't get all the soap out when rinsing Junk Now we have to run them through TWO washing cycles to do what used to be done in one Using TWICE as much water and detergent
Comment from : @debb5788

I'm American and am still shocked that top load still has the market majority Pretty much everybody I know has a front load
Comment from : @GregThrasherTechGuy

I bought a Maytag Bravo series and after 7 years, it's dead Main circuit board and drum bearings Would not recommend

It really sucks that between government regulations and corporate greed, we can't even buy a decent residential appliance now
Comment from : @duggydo

I’ve had a Samsung front loader since 2009 and it’s been great with not 1 issue Sometimes it’s the luck of the draw I guess Knock on wood
Comment from : @Jason-ml3vs

160 to 170 technicians?brDo you have difficulty counting?brWhich is it 160 or 170?😳
Comment from : @robertI153

Thank you for your excellent video I want to comment on your Brand Fail Rate chart and I am more of the opinion that it’s likely more reflective of the volume of each model sold Samsung, Whirlpool and LG are top sellers and therefore by their numbers, they would tend to generate more repair searches on Google
Comment from : @stanacho854

My LG toploader I've had for the last 15 years Only one minor problem that I fixed myself It's still going good!

Are gas dryers worth it vs electric?

Comment from : @GaneshJU

I had an LG front load washer that lasted 20 years (it started having issues after moving and not having the shipping bolts in) I bought a Samsung front loader 2 years ago when supplies were limited and I question how long it will last since it leaks at the front near the topbrbrI'm preparing myself to get a Speed Queen next

Comment from : @patriot4757

I have a 20 year old Whirlpool piggy back washer/dryer in my condo It’s been working without a hitch and won’t be replaced until it’s shot I made the mistake of replacing my working Whirlpool dishwasher because it was too loud 7 years ago and am on my 2nd one(Maytag, LG)
Comment from : @DWilliam1

The problem with the internet failure searches is you have to factor in the number of units out there Bosch and Meile may not have near the machines as say Samsung so those percentages are naturally going to be lower
Comment from : @williamt5837

One of my friends works directly for Samsung HQ in the USbrHe has a Speed Queen in his home laundryroom 😉 that's enough to tell me don't get a Samsung washer
