Unfortunately, unless you pay top dollar for something like a Speed Queen, most brands have become hot garbage and have a near-50% chance of breaking down within the first 3-5 years.
Samsung has been particularly bad as of late with home appliances of any kind, with many retailers dropping them entirely due to warranty issues and repeated call-backs for repairs.
Still, to be specific: most models of Speed Queen washers and dryers have a MTBD of 15-30 years. They still see the occasional lemon, sure; who doesn’t? But it’s damn rare with them.
The cheapest Speed Queen in 1950 was $100, which is about $1300 in today’s dollars. It looks like Speed queen starts about the same cost now. Now you can get these machines for $500. 1/3 cost for 1/3 quality. So either way it’s roughly $100 per year that’s about $2 per week. Still quite affordable and worth every penny compared to a washboard and basin, wringing, and line drying (and spending 2-4 hours of your time doing laundry every week).

I’ve been happy with my Electrolux, I want to say it’s about 8yrs old now.
