Used to have a GE washer with an impeller. I liked that my clothes were not all twisted together when the cycle was complete. Also with no agitator taking up space there was a greater capacity which allowed room for washing blankets and quilts. Had no problems with it. Left it behind when we moved.

Bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer. They are both top loaders and don't have all the electronics, that you don't typically use, work very well and last for ever. Speed Queen is the primary provider of commercial washers and dryers. They do a massive amount of testing. The washer and dryer just have the manual dials versus the electronics and still have a lot of features. I go mine at Ken and Kerrys on 27/441 down near Leesburg.

Maytag top load agitator washer and dryer - don’t waste your money.

We had the Samsung top loader without agitator set and had a lot of problems with them. We were fortunate to have a AHS home warranty that covered all but the service call on the repairs. When we moved here 7 years ago we bought LG front loaders and have not had a problem with either unit.

Speed Queen is the best. Period.

Another vote for Speed Queen.
We bought ours 6 years ago and have had zero issues. As the OP stated, they are commercial machines made for the residence. Gears are metal not plastic, and no fancy electronics that will crap out.
They cost more but are workhorses.

Just had my 10+ year old whirlpool cabrio platinum water pump replaced. My repairman advised staying away from the new LG and Samsung washer and dryers. Mainly due to the electronic brain. Just saying, I have no real proof or experience.

About 9 months ago we purchased LG Thin Q washer and matching dryer from Lowes. Not cheap but not the high end either. We got them on sale and Lowes had the best price as we shopped around. Both are front loading machines, both electric. They have lots of bells and whistles, we use some of the features, but overall very good machines, and we find they are much gentler on our clothes than our previous old set. They are also Wi-fi controllable but we don't use that function.

I suggest you buy a Speed Queen set. It will probably be the last set you will need. I believe DeSantis Appliance Store Sells them near TV.

The best washer made is Speed Queen. Pricy but the very best.

Highly recommend Speed Queen washer and dryer. Speed Queen makes most laundromat units. We have had their residential unit for 15 years and still going strong. You light try Setzer’s Appliance in Ocala. Pricey but built to
Last. You won’t regret it!

That was the first thing I looked at. Not this one. Thanks.

The reason why newer appliances with electronics fail most of the time is because of power surges. If you like appliances with all the bells and whistles, you need to get a whole house surge protector from Pikes or Lenhardt electric if you live in Central Florida. Eventhough you might not think you are gettig power surges, they occur all the time especially when we have storms. Over time these small and sometimes large surges eventually damage the electronics and your appliance will just fail all of a sudden.
