5 Washing Machine Brands You Should NEVER Buy And 5 You Should

Washing machine brands to avoid and the most reliable washing machines to buy, ranked by real service-call data: five brands to skip, five that hold up. Matt Carter goes through ten brands: what the numbers show, where each one is honestly strong or weak, and what to check before you buy. In this video: Where the data comes from: first-year service rates from Yale Appliance and Consumer Reports owner surveys Five brands to think twice about: Samsung, Kenmore, Maytag, Electrolux and Whirlpool, including the Whirlpool jury verdict most lists leave out Why front-load washers grow mold, and why it’s a design tendency, not one brand’s fault Five brands that hold up: LG, General Electric’s Profile line, Speed Queen, Bosch and Miele, each with its trade-off Fair warning: this is about how the record looks, not a verdict on every machine. Plenty of people own a brand on the avoid list with no trouble, and every brand on the buy list has a catch worth knowing. Sources used for this video: Yale Appliance first-year service data, Consumer Reports member surveys, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (2016 Samsung top-load recall).
