We have to get a small front loader to fit under a long bench for folding clothes. Both washer and dryer have to fit. I would. Of reccommend Samsung. Neither has worked well , especially the washer. Sometimes it washes sometimes it has not. It has a mind of its own.

@Harmonica, I am glad you are enjoying your Miele washer, that brand is supposed to be very good.

@Joy, so sorry that your Samsung did not work out. It is hard when you have a defined space that you have to fit.
Samsung has interesting features but our repair person strongly advised against that brand.

Follow-up:
The pros about the Whirlpool 5.3 toploader that we were able to return thanks to Costco’s very generous return policy:
-Soap tray that you pre-load for multiple washes.
-Removeable agitator.
-Cycle that fully cleans the machine.
-Cute chime.
The cons: tears the clothes and towels and does not clean too well.
If it were not a clothes chewer, I would have kept it.

We ended up with the Speed Queen TR7 with electronic board that comes with a 7 year guarantee. We got it with a discount during a special store sale, unfortunately Costco did not have it.
-Problem so far: the stainless steel drum had a manufacturing residue that gives a black stain. I noticed it when I went to dry the drum after the first (empty) wash. We called SQ and they said it was “carbon” and that we only had to clean it with a “household cleaner”. It took 6 washes on heavy duty, max soil, large load size, with soak and second rinse to clear that residue. That plus all the towel drying of the tub after the washes.
I think the company should clear the drum of any manufacturing residues before selling this expensive product and not stick customers with that chore. For that reason, I will not be buying a SQ dryer when the time comes, only God knows how to get rid of the residue in the dryer, it probably gets baked into the drum and clothes.
-The good part about our SQ is that it seems to wash well and is not tearing our clothes, so far.
Now I only have to pray for continued good service from my old dryer.

I really appreciated this! My washer broke last week and after reading the comments here and looking at reviews online, I decided to get the Speed Queen TC5. Just got delivered today!.

Joyce, I'm glad you mentioned the carbon dust. Usually I just dive in and use things without really reading the manual. Yes, mine had the dust too. Instead of going through multiple wash cycles, I just mixed some OxiClean powder and hot water and dampen a washcloth that I use for housecleaning and wiped down the tub. I divided the tub into 4 quadrants and used a different side of the washcloth (folded into fourths) per quadrant. After each quadrant, I would ring out and rewet the washcloth in the solution then move onto the next section. So I probably went around the tub like this 6 times. Then the first load I washed were these washcloths and the three towels that had soaked up the water leak when the old washer broke. Everything came out clean and the washer functioned well. I was worried that the TC5 would be noisy, but it was not any louder than my old washer so I am pretty happy!

Late to the party. LG front loaders (washer and dryer) that will be 10 yo this July. A-okay so far!

@AJ, I am glad the TC5 worked out well for you, and that you cleaned its drum like a pro.
To be honest, I could have called mine acceptable a few washes sooner, but I decided to go with overdoing it to have peace of mind. Speed Queens are great washers, I hope you will enjoy yours.

@RC, thank you for the input but please shhh shhh so that all stays great. Angie also loves LCs. I always trusted Whirlpool but they are not made the same these days.

My luck with dishwashers hasn’t been so good! 3 in 10 years! And one of them was a Bosh!

Oh no, @RC! I hope to not need a dishwasher in the near future, I may be lucky in that I just wash by hand. I hope your current dishwasher is a good one.
