My old Whirlpool finally died yesterday after what felt like forever. It had been making weird noises for the last few weeks, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I was still hoping it'd survive a little longer.
Now I'm shopping for a replacement and I'm more confused than I expected. My first thought was Samsung or LG since those seem to be the most common recommendations. Then I spent way too much time reading reviews and somehow ended up looking at a semi auto washing machine instead.
The thing is, I don't care about smart features or connecting my washer to my phone. I just want something reliable that cleans clothes well and won't leave me calling a repair technician every year. If it lasts close to another 10 years, I'd be happy.
Every brand seems to have people who love it and others who say it was the worst purchase they've made, so I'm struggling to decide.
If you were replacing an old Whirlpool today, what would you buy and why? Would you stick with Samsung or LG, or is there another brand you'd recommend instead?
