Why are appliances shit nowadays >:( i bought a house with 20-30 year old appliances that work fine, but decided to start upgrading so I bought a new washer and dryer. The new machines dont work nearly as well and I know they're not going to last even 10 years. We're already having issues with them 4 months later.

If your clothing washer stinks, run it on hot with just bleach inside it, like put in a bit too much bleach, no clothing

At least it's Wi-Fi connected.

My washer I bought in 2015 for a condo worked all the way to when we sold in 2024. Likely still going because it never had an issue.

New house washer purchased last year, still no issues.

My inlaws have gone through several in the last 10 years.

Biggest difference is user error. My inlaws wash a big load of towels every single day and load the washer to the lid. I load 3/4 full and don't go through towels like crazy.

People just don't know how to use appliances.

"Our parents" ... ?

I personally used the same washing machine from the time I was 13 until I was 36.

Been through some dryers though, and the old washer gave out a few years ago. I probably could have repaired it but I couldn’t find the time.

I believe this because I had an old microwave from the 80s not a single issue, bought a new one the light went after a few weeks lol

Is it really that it worked for 30 years or just that the couple times it failed that actually got somebody to repair it?

I had my washer/dryer for 8+ years now. Actually got the extended warranty for sure reason and it covered having a repair when it started leaking, but given the cost of repairs hasn't just elect to buy a new unit.

Buy Electrolux or V-Zug.

What are people doing with their laundry equipment and other appliances? I'm not saying you'll get 30 years out of new appliances, but I still routinely get 10ish.
