re: Washer/dryer brands to stay away from

We have a speed queen washer and dryer set purchased new in 2017 and while it hasn't been trouble free, it's impressive how how little they've needed given the abuse they have taken. We wash/dry 4 loads a day on average and the kids typically overload with the washing machine for most of those loads..like not far from the top of the drum full.
The only repair the dryer has needed was new rollers and a new felt seal. The washing machine had some springs replaced under warranty but that was partially my fault because it wasn't leveled properly. We also replaced the timer assembly because one of my kids got mad about something, twisted it like a maniac and stripped the gears. It recently started squeaking on the spin cycle so that's probably the snubber ring. Again, impressive given the severe abuse they've received. Before the speed queen, we bought a GE and it broke within a month. The speed queens will be repaired until parts are no longer available or there's no electricity.
