Washing machine woes

[jetmechmarty]

We've replaced our stove and fridge so far, and you know what all of the review websites recommend? LG, Samsung, Bosch because of all the "features" like Bluetooth, and touchscreens, and cameras, and "smart modes." They say avoid GE because you don't get any "features" for your money.

You know what the sites that track reliability say? LG, Samsung and Bosch have great features but the core functionality dies easy. Like a fridge that has cameras inside and huge screens, but the compressor dies in six months. They say GE just keeps running.

So now we have two GE fridges - one is now the garage fridge.

We’ve been in our house six years. The kitchen has all GE appliances. The stove and dishwasher were put in by the builder. The dishwasher racks are rusting away. They cost as much as a new dishwasher. We bought the refrigerator and it was stupid money, but working fine. It doesn’t do WiFi or have cameras. Are washer & dryer are GE and over 20 years old. They still work fine. Of course the later I have repaired a time or three.

We are on our second LG washing machine, the first one lasted about 10 years and I gave it to my stepson; it’s still going strong. It was replaced by a new one about 10 years ago. The new one has multiple functions but only useful ones. It is built like a tank compared to all the other big brands; has a proper steel chassis from which high quality components are hung. It very quiet too. I have replaced the rubber seal on the front loader because it was punctured by a foreign body accidentally loaded into the tub. And the warranty and LG service is excellent.
What would I buy next, an LG if it’s built to the same standards.

Oh and their better end TV’s are superb too.

Kinda' like auto manufacturers complaining about tariffs causing car prices to rise. True, but if you would stop making your "Base" model with more features than a Caddy or Lincoln had 30-40 years ago, I bet that would make them more affordable and more reliable.

Bring back window cranks! When I'm driving and I need to roll the window down, I ALWAYS hit the wrong button on the car I've driven for 10 years.

Failure rate on my first car, an '89 Caprice, and my second car, a basic 2002 S-10: ZERO.
