Buy a washer/dryer without a motherboard
I have an old Maytag "Dependable Care" series washing machine... It's an absolutely excellent machine... Only problem is that the replacement parts are starting to become hard to find... Most likely failure in these machines is the tub seal at the bottom of the wash tub is no longer available, and they do eventually wear out... The timer mechanisms are still available for now at least, but they are getting expensive and likely won't be available much longer.

Ideal to buy a COMMERCIAL grade washing machine / dryer for a home?
Why don't Maytag MVWP586GW for $500 less with same warranty?

What’s one item you bought that way outperformed its price?
1993 GE clock radio/alarm/cassette. Still works 32 years later. 1997 Craftsman self propelled lawnmower with 6.25 horsepower Tecumseh engine. Other than replacing a dead ignition coil at 17 years old, it's still works flawlessly with no repairs. Still on the original blade and belt. 1999 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl 5 speed manual built in Japan. Bought new and still the daily driver. 1984 Toyota truck my dad bought new and passed down to me in 1996. Other than regular scheduled maintenance, it has only had a water pump, clutch, and clutch master cyl replaced. All original, down to the 41 year old power steering fluid. 1975 Maytag washer and dryer pulled out of the scrapyard for free almost 20 years ago. Still kicking.

What’s one thing you bought once and it’s still going strong years later?
Maytag Ensignia commercial washer and dryer. They’re as basic as it gets and all we could afford back in 2005 when we got married and they still run flawlessly. I replaced the rollers and belt on the dryer last year but that’s it. We probably use them 4 or 5 times a week.

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.

Best washing machine under $600?
Used older Whirlpool or Kenmore Direct drive top loader washing machine. Used Maytag Dependable Care top loader. Well under $600 and it will likely outlast any new machine you can buy at any price.

What’s one product you bought that has lasted forever and was totally worth it?
A Maytag Dependable Care gas clothes dryer which ran for over 30 years. It was made by the real company Maytag. (Maytag today is just a brand of Whirlpool) I recently replaced it, with a Speed Queen as the Maytag as starting to wear out.
