I've never owned a new machine. For me it's always used machines that use mechanical timers and relays and dumb electronics. If there's a circuit board, it's usually beige and the traces are likely to be hand-drawn. These things are stupid easy to maintain. But I'm afraid of the coming shortage of replacement parts. (How long can Sears go on?) Bonus: No mold problems with traditional top loaders. And I can throw a last-minute item into the mix if I forgot it.
