I had two Maytag washers that each lasted 20 years. I had heard not to buy maytags anymore but I didn’t listen. Bought one from Home Depot and after using it twice I had them come and get it. Even if I chose the deep fill option, there would only be 8 inches of water in the tub and I had clothes coming out that weren’t even wet. Also It bounced all over and made a loud roaring noise when on the spin cycle. I finally did more research and was able to purchase a Speed Queen. They say they are made heavy duty like the Maytags were 40-50 years ago. Also they’re the only washer on the market that will actually fill the tub full of water. I’ve had it almost two years and I love it.

Loved this show! Thank you! I bought all Kenmore appliances from Sears Hardware in 1999 when I bought a new house. Kenmore (Whirlpool) refrigerator never had an issue at all. It was great. I gave it away to a friend in 2015 (16yo) because I decided to go with stainless steel appliances (from Sears Hardware) vs. white. It's working FINE still for him as a 2nd fridge. No icemaker issues! My new Whirlpool fridge has been the WORST I HAVE EVER HAD: it had a board issue and froze food. Service contract saved me $$$ as repair company was out three or four times. Repair insurance also offered to pay for any lost food. I still have this thing, but it's just a matter of time. No icemaker issues, YET! I gave away my Kenmore washer/dryer pair to a friend in 2010 because, again, I wanted stainless steel look and bought Samsung front loaders. It worked for her well until she died and I'm sure it's still working today. My new Samsung w/d had nothing but issues. Had to call out repair three times on washer (gasket, leveling bearings), and once on dryer (drum leveler?). Extended warranty from Worst Buy saved me! Otherwise, repair would have cost $$$. Never again will I buy a Samsung appliance!!!

If your Bosch dishwasher doesn't wash worth a hoot, it may need service. I am a technician and see a lot of dishwashers where owners are not informed and have never cleaned the screen filters in the bottom. Also empty rinse aid dispenser will contribute to poor drying. Some dishwashers were not built with a heater for drying. They rely on heat retained by the dishes. Also opening the door before cycle ends completely can allow an air vent to shut , not allowing moisture to escape.In my opinion Bosch makes a fine machine . I have been a proud owner for over 15 years!

I didn’t care about the cost (well, a little, ha!), I just wanted a basic no-nonsense workhorse of a washer. I LOVE it! It’s made in America and it’s a commercial heavy duty👍🏼 The dishwasher I got is a Whirlpool, which at the time I got it, the selection was limited, so doing a do-diligence was fruitless because of limited availability! The really stupid part of the dishwasher is that it’s supposed to be an “energy saver”, which means it cycles on and off during the wash cycle. Now, get this……it takes it 2 HRS to complete a load!! How in the name of all that is Holy, can that save energy??!!🤷♀️ My old dishwasher, which was a beast and I loved it, was done is less than an hour AND cleaned much better!

We were limited because our space is "counter depth." so there were fewer choices meaning a greater possibility it would have been hard to find a replacement. I do not have real data. but suspect the new one {Whirlpool, no in door dispenser for water or ice and ice maker is in the freezer) is much more energy efficient than what we took out.

Mine is the LG french door. I did replace the ice maker myself last year. I called LG and they sent me a new ice maker for around 150 dollars. Not sure what brand I would go with in the future. Had to replace my 30 year old washer and dryer (really only washer because it was leaking) a couple of years ago. Went with Whirlpool. They were the least expensive and had made in USA stickers on them. I am happy with their performance. I've had them for about 5 years and have options as far as load size and water levels.

NOW, I hear this! I recently purchased a top loader (no agitator - new to me feature) by Maytag. I did learn that bigger is not always better in refrigerators. We have to buy tiny, due to available room in our kitchen. We use them til the external falls apart. My friends with big fridges seem to have big problems.

I appreciate your interview with this incredible technician. I learned so much about what brands to buy. I am days away from purchasing a refrigerator. The model site info and model explanation will be very helpful. You both saved my husband and me from buying the wrong refrigerator. Thank you

Our appliance guy in NH said don’t buy Samsung. The appliance repair guys won’t come and fix them. Our water dispenser rusted! Here in PA, our appliance repair man said buy Speed Queen. And our local appliance store (not big box) apparently reamed out their local ge representative.

I had an old 1968 Whirlpool washer that finally gave up about 8 months ago.. I now only buy old 70 and 80 series Kenmore and Whirlpool washers. They wash well and parts are still around, plus easy to repair. My fridge is an old top freezer Frigidare. By the way I also have a 1959 Kenmore dryer that my neighbor uses.. If I ever need a new washer, it will be the Speedqueen unit you mentioned. We have one at the animal hospital that I work . It is built very well.

So far he’s stating exactly what my repair guy just told me as I am now replacing my fridge because the control board is not doing it job. It will be interesting to see if he suggests the same brands as my repair guy.

I live in an apartment and bought my own appliances. I have an Avanti frost free refrigerator and an Avanti compact automatic clothes washer, they work like a charm and I love them. If you're interested they are based in Florida, and are American made.

I loved this video and am looking forward to more! I did my research and purchased the top loader Speed Queen and am very happy with it. It had a scratch on the side and was greatly reduced. Once installed, you cannot see the scratch. It also has a 5 year warranty. The installer told me not to use the energy saver option for the reasons Pistol gave and to only cover the bottom of the liquid detergent cap. He also said not to overfill it.

I think it just depends if you get one of the better ones. I've had the ice machines on the freezer doors twice and never had any issues yet with them. Knock on wood. LOL When it comes to appliances, it's like a gamble nowadays on getting one that will last. I have A Kenmore oven and a Kenmore dishwasher and they are both still running and working fine. I've had them both around 15 years. And my washer and dryer are both Kenmore and I've had those for 22 years. Though the washer is now starting to leak, which after 22 years it's not a surprise. I think I still got a good run on them for the amount of years I've had them.

My Kitchen Aid dishwasher was horrible. I had it 3 years and had one issue after another. The last straw was when a valve went and flooded mj basement and warped my kitchen floor. The appliance store gave me a full credit, and paid for repairs to my home. I got a Bosch in 2017, and so far, so good.

I love my Speed Queen washer. More old school with agitator and enough water to get the clothes clean. We opted not to have the ice maker/water dispenser in the door and went for the freezer ice maker in the new fridge. Have had nothing but trouble with the ice maker replacing it several times. I told my husband to bag it and I now just empty ice trays and am a happy camper without the frustration.

He is absolutely right about GE. I loved my GE microwave, so when it went out after about 14 years I bought another one, not realizing they had been purchased in 2016. It is the "same" model, but it is really not.

Bought a 5000$ LG fridge, the largest capacity made for home fridges....it was nothing but a nightmare from the start. At least every 6 months the repair man was out and I lost all of the food. He said the issue with mine was common with all new fridges. The issue could not be permanently fixed..... thank God I got the 3 year extra warranty. $5000 and the fridge was dead in 3 years 😖 I now have an old school fridge from the early 90's and it has never had a single issue 🤣
