Two different experiences with LG washing machines. Should I stick with LG or get something else?

Hi, I have owned 2 washing machines in my life and they were both LG. The first one I got was a mid-priced model that lasted us 13 years of heavy use with minimal fuss before things started to break. I was happy with the washing machine.

Only 3 or 4 years ago we replaced it with a different, "high end" LG WM6500HBA which was very well reviewed. We got about a year in before it started leaking, then drum bearing started making noise like it's about to go, and now we've got an issue where the door close safety mechanism failed and it won't start. We've had so much trouble with this washing machine that given the cost of repairs and lack of faith that something else on it won't just break in a few months we're just going to buy a new one.

I keep seeing LG recommended everywhere as the best non-luxury washing machine brand out there. I have had one good experience and one bad experience. Should I give them another chance with a mid-range less fancy model this time, or suck it up and pay for an electrolux?

Hi all, we brought bugs home from a hotel at the end of summer and had the house treated about 3 weeks later at the end of September. It's hard to say but I don't think anyone has had a bite since then and we have not seen any evidence of bugs. It was mild because we caught it early.

I'm paranoid and had been keeping all our clothes in bags and still doing the high heat thing until just the past couple weeks, about 7 months after treatment. Over the past couple weeks I've slowly been putting things back in drawers and relaxing. Today I saw a squashed but dried-out looking bug on a windowsill and AI can list off the features to confirm it is a bedbug (but it sometimes it changes its mind).

I have no idea exactly what this is, how old it is, or how it got there but I don't think we were ever at a point where there were multiple adults running around the house though we did see nymphs before treatment. I had also been vacuuming daily and slowly reduced to weekly, with a crevice tool and being very thorough so I'm not sure this could have lasted since September.

What do I do now??

P.S. I think that big leg was detached and probably used to be a hind leg?
