Get a speed queen. Famous for being reliable because it’s a “dumb” machine (in a good way).

- frompdx 10mo agoThey are also very heavy duty compared to a normal washer and dryer, even a basic one. I've had mine since 2017 and they just work.
- adiabatichottub 10mo agoIt's only $1700! And would also last 30+ years, like a 1980s Maytag
- thatfrenchguy 10mo agoDestroys your clothes and is mega inefficient in exchange. You can buy better washers than LG washers that are modern.
- jihadjihad 10mo agoNah, maybe the TC-5 could be argued to be relatively inefficient and pretty aggressive on delicate stuff (and loud), but the TR-7 is both efficient and gentle on clothing while being quiet. Have had one for a while and love it. No machine is perfect but this feels pretty close.
- bob1029 10mo agoThe TC5 is fine by me. I've never had a washer that worked this well. The noise level is the last thing I'm worried about when a meaningful cycle completes within 30 minutes.
- AngryData 10mo agoDoes being "inefficient" really matter for a washing machine if you don't live in the desert? Its not like they go through 100+ of gallons of water or ridiculous amounts of electricity even in the worst possible case scenarios.
- fc417fc802 10mo agoActually old top loaders aren't so far off of that number. Maybe 40+ gallons per load. But still I'm inclined to agree with the general sentiment of not micro optimizing things in ways that make people's lives more difficult.
