Until now, I have always had Whirlpool's commercial heavy duty washers. (non vend) not the biggest capacity but never had one break. All of them were pulled from upscale condos that had washer dryers in them, so they were never used. Family wasi n real estate management.
Now I have a top load HE washer with no agitator and even though it cleans better, (it really does) it doesn't require maintenance. BUT, like modern furnaces, I hate the electronics. Replace a board here, replace a board there....and it tells you what you can and cannot do on settings.
