What do you consider reliable?
I think you answered your own question.Hello,
We are in the market for a new washer and dryer. We have two 23 year old Kenmore's. We are empty nester's that don't do much laundry any more. Just looking for reliable brands.
Front loaders have a lot more whiz bang stuff to go bad on them.We are in the market for a new washer and dryer.

just looking for any advice from all you experienced owners!!
That's the same brand. Just different labels.Just looking for reliable brands.
I do want to stick with Kenmore or Whirlpool...
Agreed. We recently decided to start getting all our apliances from the mom and pop place down the street, we've only gotten 2 from them so far, but the prices are pretty comparable and the service is awesome.My only advice is to buy from a reliable (read: been in business for a long time) appliance store and not a big box retailer. These people are still in business for a reason...they provide good service and know what is a good appliance and what is not.
Back around 2005 the transmission on my Whirlpool top load washer gave up the ghost. I went to Sears to pick up a new one and for some reason decided to replace my three year old gas dryer too, so that both washer and dryer matched. (smacks self in head)Ha ha....good one...I have heard that front loaders are not as reliable as top loaders etc. I do want to stick with Kenmore or Whirlpool...just looking for any advice from all you experienced owners!!
23 years, you are just finally getting them broken in. Most stuff lasts maybe five years tops these days.Hello,

Also to add to danpik, watch the Scratch & dents at even places like Lowe's, or local mom & pop shop. You can usually pick up a good machine for way less than a new one from the factory, that will have a dent or two in it within a year. Just call them instantly antiqued, and think of the money you saved, just because of some cosmetic scar on the side or back.My only advice is to buy from a reliable (read: been in business for a long time) appliance store and not a big box retailer.
