10 years is the useful life of a washer/dryer.
For appliances, I am a fan of following the recommendations of Consumer Reports.
We used CR's test results and recommendations to buy the cheapest LG high efficiency top loader washer and matching dryer. We wanted a top loader washer as the laundry room is narrow and we didn't want to bend over pull the wet laundry out of a front loader. The dryer is, of course, a front loader, but by the time the clothes are dry, they are much lighter.
We could not be happier with this combination and were surprised at the performance of the top loader washing machine. The purchase was made at Lowe's. Their delivery service was fine. One hint--make certain the delivery persons place the dryer door so it opens on the side next to the washer. Ours didn't do so and I had to stop them as they were leaving to come back and reverse the door.
