My Roper washer (cheapest option at the time, I had never heard of them) died last week. This time, GE was the cheapest option. In a few years I expect to have a Samsung that will require a subscription to run heavier loads.
It has gone without any need for repair far longer than other new refrigerators my extended family has bought, but it also doesn't have an ice maker or water filter- just a really dumb refrigerator and freezer that (knock on wood) Just Works.
(judge the quality of appliances by how much BROKEN ones sell for on the various sites)
