Don't buy American washers, I think only speed queen still bothers with quality.
Also don't get a Samsung one from what I hear. Apparently LG is okay.
LG appliances are disposable. The South Korean companies want you on the new appliance replacement schedule as your cell phone.
Anecdotally, I loathe my LG and am trying to figure out what to replace it with.
I have replaced the drain pump on it 5 times, because they did a terrible job designing the strainer basket, and the impeller is very fragile. It only takes a few strands of long hair to reach 3/4" past the strainer basket to tangle and break the impeller.
It's also an all in one, but the dryer functionality was clearly designed as a bolt on afterthought. There's no lint filter so inevitably lint builds up and choked off airflow. Then the air temp gets hot enough to melt the front boot.
When we first got the unit, our 40psi water pressure ruptured two internal hoses because lg couldn't be bothered to use fiber reinforced hoses. Dealing with potential water damage so lg could save a few cents is not worth it.
I will actively avoid LG going forward.
Which one did you get? All I've heard are good things from LGs current washer/ dryers

I love the all in one concept, but this machine has made me reluctant to get one again.
There's a GE all in one with heat pump drying that I think would be the functionality I want, but the machine is huge.
Ah I see, I feel like lot has changed since that model (nervously looking at my LG). Just remember that current heat pump dryers still have issues with lint clogging the coils dispite the filters and coil cleaning systems.
I have heard Samsung is bad so often on the internet, but my personal experience is different. I've used a Samsung washing machine for almost 10 years now and it still works and looks like the day I bought it. It's very easy to use, has a large front loader door, is quiet and power efficient (as far as that's even possible with a washing machine). Never regretted it.
My brother also has a Samsung washer and dryer, because he loved how large the door was on my washing machine, so he bought one as well. It has served him fine for about 5 years now.
But hey, maybe I'm just lucky with the one I've got.
Before this one I had a Beko washer and dryer. I was unemployed at the time and didn't have a lot of money, so I wanted a cheap model. The salesman in the store said it was bad (this was a long time ago, when they still had salesmen) and would break within a couple of years. But they did upsell an extended warranty for 5 years, which my mom paid for so I could afford to get the washer and dryer. Those units had served me very well for over 15 years. I did have to repair them a couple of times, but nothing major and some normal wear items. I sold those when I bought the Samsung as an upgrade. I switched to natural air drying instead of a dryer for environmental reasons, so I didn't buy a new dryer.
I was lucky enough to get a speed queen washer dryer set on sale because it was a floor model. We've only had one issue with it, a water pump that was making a bunch of noise but was still functioning fine, they ended up swapping it out under warranty anyways.
