So now I am looking at a near future of washing cycles that end with the sound of a jet engine and a further future of having to by a new washer. Bummer. I think my mother had one washer for most of our childhood and replaced it once or twice in the 50 years they lived at the house.
Any recommendations for washers that LAST?
