Reply to comment by txdm in Washer and dryer? Also, are top loaders better than front? by Bones1225

I have a shitty hotpoint set in my apartment. I know that thing is probably over 10 years right now with probably 0 maintenance. Not saying there aren’t better options. But I haven’t had an issue with it in 3 years while my family has had all of their fancy washers fail.

Previously I had fancy front loading washer and matching dryer with all kinds of features that I'd never need. Within two years both had sensor and gasket problems that I ended up dumping money into fixing. When the problems returned after a year and a half, I put my money into a cheap roper washer and hotpoint dryer, both have performed flawlessly for 7 years since then. The washer might use marginally more water, but I use it to water my yard.

Once I have to buy my own, I’m just goi by to see what laundromats are using. They’ll either have a good warranty or good lifespan. I don’t need any of the fancy shit.
