I would like your recommendations for appliances that will last longer than 6 years like most of the brands that are produced today. My customers ask me this question daily. I suggest Speed Queen washers and dryers for laundry products but I’m not sure about the other types of appliances. I’m currently researching Bosch dishwashers. Thank you for any assistance.

We have also done research on products that last more than 12 years without major repairs . Without being biased we have determined that Speed Queen seems meet our guidelines. There are a few reasons why:
1) Most Speed Queen products do not have control boards or a lot of electronics that can go bad.
2) With most units having manual cycles, there are half the mechanical parts that can go bad.
3) The suspension and tub are built to last. That is why Speed Queen gives a lifetime or 20 year warranty on them.
The bottom line is they are built to last and of course that is built into the price. A basic whirlpool washer cost is around $475-$550. And the Speed Queen with the same basic cycles is around $975. So you can pay me now or pay me later. I hope the helps. Just about all of our 15 technicians have Speed Queen units.
