For sheer durability, Speed Queen top-loaders are a favorite. For features and efficiency, LG and Maytag front-loaders do very well with proper maintenance.
Side-by-side and French door are both dependable when installed level and cleaned regularly. Avoid cramming the top and rear—give the condenser room to breathe.
Use rinse aid, run a monthly cleaning cycle, and descale quarterly. If you see white film on glasses, that’s mineral—time to descale.
