Are these worth it for $1200?
When I was shopping for a new washer and dryer in 2020, I had planned to get a speed queen because my mom has always loved hers and the internet says they are BIFL but all of my research said that they had recently majorly changed the machine so that it would have more modern efficiency and they weren’t as good now. I went with the Maytag commercial version of the speed queen instead and have been very happy. I’m not sure if they ended up changing the speed queen back or not, I haven’t been in the market so I haven’t researched it since 2020.

What signs do you look for to tell if something will actually last years?
0 reviews ever speak to longevity, so using that as a longevity source is ignorant. Warranty is a good relative indicator of quality. Especially when (say) you find that every washing machine ever has a one year warranty, but you see that the Maytag MVWP586GW has a five year warranty.....hmmm.....let me focus efforts on that item! The search engine here. Most overlooked item ever. You an in 10 minutes find the industry leaders. But do know....you should go deeper as (say) Timberland makes BIFL boots and shitbox boots, so don't run into the Timberland store and buy shit by the armload thinking all they sell is BIFL. Know this means you need specifics with brands and don't be a brand champion or asshat. Yes...Samsung sucks with refrigerators, but their phones are titanic....don't be a Samsung asshat hater. You can flex warranties with certain stores like Costco and/or credit card extensions which adds confidence.

Washing machine, I know it gets asked about a lot but…
I have a commercial grade Maytag MVWP575GW top loader with agitator. Made in USA (not from a big box store). Very basic workhorse with deep water settings. It runs, on the average, 2-3 times a day. Highly recommend .

Washing machine, I know it gets asked about a lot but…
You need a top loading machine for that kind of soil. A front loader isn't going to get that clean enough. I would go for the Maytag MVWP586GW, which is the entry level commercial grade machine, or a Speed Queen / Hubesch tr5. I think the speed Queen is a better machine, but the Maytag is likely going to be a better deal.

Washer and dryer pairs (US) that are worth it, but on a budget?
Speed Queen and Maytag are who you want to go with. Do not buy the Maytag units from big box stores unless they're from the Commercial line or the base white set. See if you have a local Maytag outlet. Check the reviews on their base white set for the budget friendly option. Otherwise look up Speed Queen and see if its in your price range. If so look up a local dealer. Avoid Samsung appliances like the plague they are.

New Washer/Dryer… 38yr old finally quit
The residential whirlpool top loaders have having bad batches of control boards. It’s extremely common. Avoid them. Look at the Maytag Commercial. It washes better than the new speed queens.

What products used to be well built back in the day but now are low quality?
Maytag Commercial washer and dryer is where it's at. Don't let the name full you - it's sold by Lowes or any other Maytag dealer. It's more "old school" and is legitimately better built. No automatic anything, other than the dryer having an automatic dry sensor. And there's always Speed Queen.

Does anyone regret spending more for SpeedQueen?
So, the line is actually a residential product that Maytag makes called Maytag Commercial. Easy google, black instrument panel, no buttons or led just dials. We almost went speed queen. I ended up doing the deep dive and eventually found some guy who is just an absolute nut for investigating washers and dryers and he concluded the Maytag commercial were nearly as reliable and durable as the speed queens but far more affordable. But thanks, this reminds me I still gotta figure out how to get to that filter to check it!

Need suggestions for quality washing machine that will last and support a high laundry volume family with small kids
You buy washing machines really on what bedding you are washing and/or if someone in your house has terribly stained items due to their career. If you want to do king size bedding regularly, the only answer to this is a bigger capacity which means you can forget the BIFL kings. This means you need to buy something around 5 cubic feet in capacity and for that, you need to pick as there is no BIFL king in that segment. Now if you are OK with going to the laundrymat once a month for that bedding, a Speed Queen of any type (Hibsch for the Canadians) and Maytag MVWP586GW or if you can find the now discontinued MVWP575GW are the hivemind BIFL washers that will crank out loads every 30 minutes until you give in. For the Speed Queen cheerleaders: Please read the reply before jumping up and down as while your king size comforter may work in yours, that is not a blanket statement (I kill myself) that every one will and you recommending someone take a $1400 chance is a pretty shitty thing to do.

Battle of the Brands
For what you're saying you're looking for I believe most people here will tell you Speed Queen or Maytag 575.

Need help finding best washer/dryer for our family
Three simple built options: Speed Queen TC5003WN Washer and DC5003WE Dryer are mechanical, commercial grade and should last the longest. Maytag (owned by Whirlpool) MVWP575GW Washer and MEDP575GW Dryer have commercial grade components and should last long. Amana (owned by Whirlpool) NTW4516FW Washer and NED4655EW Dryer should last a moderate amount of time of at least 7 years.

A new washing machine in 2025. What can I buy for life?
30 year old Maytag Heavy Duty still going strong. At least 5 loads per week.
