The best washing machine to buy right now 2026? Recommendations?
Long story short: are the new model LG top load washer/dryers absolutely terrible? Like made within the last 1-2 years?
Long story long: we closed on our house 2.5 weeks ago and the dryer broke. I also hate the washer with a burning passion so we are replacing both. When the appliance repair guy was here he said if we did decide to replace, don’t get Samsung obviously, but not to get LG saying the newer LGs, and anything labeled inverter, fail constantly, especially the fridges. I just purchased a new LG fridge and range of course 😅
So I’m researching what unit to get and I look into Maytag. Apparently now bought out by Whirlpool and now pure garbage. Okay. Whirlpool is rated eh. Okay. GE Profile expensive, 50/50 reviews. Speed Queen also mixed reviews, very expensive, keep on heavy duty cyle as nothing else works…got it..? I research further into brands and LG is at the top of most review lists…I personally had an LG and LOVED it, but that was like 6 years ago and it appears things have changed. I am at the point I’m drowning in laundry being without machines for a week and I am researching so much I’m driving myself insane So what do I do here? Is LG really that bad? What other mid-range brand would you recommend?
