I'm probably going to have to get another washing machine since my ancient Hotpoint has munched a seal and lubricant is leaking out.
A local appliance shop has a number of refurb'd top loader washers of various brands - Roper, Maytag, Kenmore, Kitchenaide, Whirlpool, RCA, GE. The ones they had on display ranged from decent in appearance to virtually new looking. Supposedly they've all been gone through. Probably ranging from
5 - 20 years old. Those that had model names visible were Kitchenaide Quiet Care, Superba. Kenmore Quiet Pak Plus. Whirlpool Ultimate Care Heavy Duty.What's a good older brand or line within a brand that's known for tough, dependable construction and also being repair friendly? Any to definitely avoid? Any features that I should look for? I tend to go for simple, on the theory that there's less to go wrong.
Thanks for all input.
