Buy European: Miele, Rex Electrolux, Beko (Turkish, don't get into that), Smeg, Candy, AEG, etc...
Don't want to jinx it, but my Electrolux washer-dryier is 7 years old and still like new, despite being relatively cheap and despite combined machines being more problematic.
Buy European and not cheap
Our super cheap Candy (Washer and a drier) has been going for 5 years now without issue 🤷 Though i'd buy a different brand if i had to again and wasn't pressed for money, I am definitely surprised how well it's doing.
I had a very different experience with the brand (washing machine actively trying to kill me, for exemple)
Maybe there's a difference between the different factories making them ?
that could be, or maybe I got lucky. In any case, I'm not complaining. i remember it was like 750 bucks for both machines, and with other brands it would have been 800-1200 for a single machine
Reddit nitpickers have moved over
They make acceptable and pretty toasters and similar appliances, but avoid this brand like a plague for fridges
I have a 7-year old fridge from them, bought discounted at the appliance outlet because of damaged packaging, it's still like new and sips electricity. It's a basic model, brushed stainless, no displays or anything.
Interesting, I heard plenty of horror stories about their fridges being low quality.
It's such an unfortunate name. They really need to rebrand.
I heard the guy who founded the company was a real smeghead
My Euromaid is a decade old. Had to replace a $30 part after 5 years, but no other issues.
Haier bought it in 2018
My Bosch washing machine is eight years old and works fine.
