We are in the market for a new washer and dryer as our 6yr old Samsung washer has been acting up for a while now and nobody knows whats wrong with it.  
 
Thinking about maytag, but apparently LG is pretty good to.  
 
Thoughts good or bad or what everyone has purchased lately.

Had our front load Maytag set for going on 12 years. Replaced the pump in the washer last year and haven’t done anything to the dryer.

We have had rotten luck with washers. Our front load Maytag set which we just replaced has been our longest working set.  
 
We replaced it with a Huebsch washer/dryer set which is like an old school set. I'm willing to try as have had the worst luck. We've had it almost a year now and have been quite happy.

Do not buy LG or Samsung  
 
I have a Whirlpool that lasted 12 years. Still working

We bought a Maytag Maxima set over ten years ago and it is still running great. Absolutely no issues other than the dryer door required new hinges once. Very good set.

Everyone is going to give you conflicting answers.  
 
John has had rotten luck with LG but not Samsung, so buy Samsung. But Bob hates his Samsung, so you'd better only buy Whirlpool. But Suzie Q has had nothing but issues with her Whirlpool, so better by Maytag.  
 
Protips:  
- Jenn-air, Kitchenaid, Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana and Inglis are all owned by the same company. They are manufactured in North America, so if/when you have an issue, it's USUALLY quicker to get parts in.  
- LG is an import product, and sometimes, parts can take weeks-months to come in.  
-There are more techs in Westman who can work on the Whirlpool (and parent line of products like Amana/Maytag) under their warranty than there are LG/Samsung/Elextrolux.  
 
Important things to consider:  
The hardness of your water.  
Your own cleanliness. If you don't keep up on cleaning, I would suggest a top load, as front loads need more care to keep from getting stinky.  
With your age/height, will you have issues with a top load machine?  
If you get a front load set, did you want it side by side, or stacked? If side by side, did you want it elevated on pedestals?  
 
If you have pets, I reccommend the Maytag Pet Pro series. We've had success with that line in my workplace.

All very good advice.  
 
Also consider customer service. We bought a Samsung dishwasher last year (our bad, I know), and it's not worked correctly from day one. They are horrible to deal with from a customer service standpoint, and they definitely have not fixed the problem (which we're more or less attributing to bad design at this point, because many parts have been replaced and it works just as poorly as the day we bought it.) I would never, ever buy anything Samsung every again just because of the customer service part of it.  
 
We've had quite a few Whirlpool et al appliances over the years, and the parts are readily available and actually fairly easy to fix yourself if that's your sort of thing.  
 
I wish Kenmore was still made - I know they were made by Whirlpool but they were usually cheaper and just as or more robust. The best washer I ever had was Kenmore, but I left it behind when we moved. I wish we hadn't.

We have a LG washer/dryer, about 5 years old. They get used very often and have had zero hiccups. I would have zero reservations about buying LG again.

we upgraded ours earlier this year with a Huebsch washer/dryer set and love it so far, we did get 7 year warranty and so far so good.

Going on 9yrs for our Maytag front load washer/dryer we bought. Never a service call. Had door lock once on washer but i fixed that. Regular cleaning of both. Would get another Maytag set.

If you truly value quality, longevity and durability then the only choice is Huebsch. They are universally accepted as the best consumer product for laundry, their parts are still made out of steel and have a very long warranty.  
 
Don't believe me, check out McMullan Appliances on Tik Tok, or their website. They are a Canadian appliance company out of Ontario with a huge social media following.
