Whirlpool-branded clothes washing machine, including the Duet front-load lineup.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

One owner's Whirlpool Duet washer ran for 25 years alongside its matching dryer, needing essentially no repairs of its own.

    Bought a Whirlpool duet washer and dryer 25 years ago and I had to replace the dryer heater last year. Other than that they've run like a champ.

    Maytag, Whirlpool and GE are the best ones to get because they are most easily fixable / folks can find parts easier than LG/Samsung/etc.
