I'm sick.
But it's official. I have two choices: pay buku bucks to repair my washer with no guarantee that the next major part won't go out OR buy a new one.
What kind of washer do you have and what do you like/dislike about it? What are it's advantages/disadvantages? I'm very interested in the debate between top loading and front loading. Life spans, ease, etc.
***I currently have a Kenmore. 12 years old. Top loading. White. No real fancy features except the huge drum. I know it takes about 46 gallons of water to wash a large load and another 46 to rinse. Yikes! Didn't know that until the repairman told me.
***Sad news: the repairman--who had nothing to gain by the information he gave me--sadly told me that it doesn't much matter these days. The life span of a washer is usually around 10-12 years. That's all? My first washer lasted me 21 years! He told me that in his profession as a repair man the ones to avoid are Frigidaire, Samsung, Fisher and Paykel. They break down the most. He recommended Kenmore, Maytag, Whirlpool, LG, Bosch.
I have a stress headache. I hate making decisions about this kind of stuff.

Ours is WHITE and I ADORE this washer/dryer set. I have NOTHING negative to say about it - we've owned ours for 7 years and we haven't had a minutes problem with it. You can do huge loads OR the finest delicates to those throw rugs you have to take to the laundramat (cause they're too big) - it's just fabulous!
I LOVE KENMORE because of their warranties, customer service etc. Hope you feel better and have fun shopping!
we have the same one too^^^ :)
Well Miss Cindy, I have a Maytag. Now Grandma Page used to swear by them saying they last forever I'm hear to tell you, my first one didn't even make it to four years so I am not sold on a Maytag anymore. Good Luck.
We had to buy our second set last August. Our first were kenmores that only lasted 5 years. We got front loading LG's. I like them, but I think the washer is loud. Our water bill did go down quite a bit, and our water is outrageously expensive. So that was a plus.
Hey girl!
I'll have to agree with Brandon and Sarah. My brother has an LG set and loves, loves, loves them.
My MAYTAG set is now 20 years old and I have never had to have it repaired. And, I do about 10 loads per week.
