No modern machine is really, except maybe Speed Queen but even Speed Queen is slowly going downhill. You can sell it if it works, you can sell it for cheaper if it has dings and scratches on it, has a bad bearing, etc. These VMWs with the washplates seem to have better suspension rods than the...

I’m actually a parent, but all my kids are grown, my youngest is in the late 20s but I do have siblings with teens or younger kids. For example, my brother is 49 and his kids are 14, 17, and 20. I can agree, some of the kids/young adults can be problematic, and parents often now wash their...

No. They haven’t. Both are known for control issues. Honestly don’t mind impeller/agipeller washers, if I has to pick between the 4516 and 4519 I’d personally pick the 4519, larger capacity and better quality suspension rods. I also like stainless steel drums over any porcelain coated drum...

Not as good as the Whirlpool direct drive (including Maytag branded ones) or the dependable care, but still far better than the Neptune.

I honestly don’t like any modern or somewhat older GE washer, GE came out with the Model-T wash which was just an utter disaster, then the HydroWave which was even worse, and GE also had WCI make the majority of their laundry centers. GE still makes decent refrigerators, although the GE fridges...

I don’t understand why anyone would want the 4516 instead of the 4519 either, it has worse quality suspension rods and smaller tub although when new the 4516 spins smoother, the 4519 has more options and I don’t mind the taller impeller VMWs, although I’m not too big on the smaller balance ring...

The Maytag Commercial’s are better than the regular VMWs they have a better quality control board and I don’t usually see the suspension or bearings fail on these either. The coin slot ones with the porcelain drums definitely are known for suspension issues and those are a different story...

The older ones were okay I was referring to the stuff Whirlpool is manufacturing right now. Also, is it the commercial or a regular model? Of course some of the newer Kenmore and Crosley models are also constantly draining if it’s a 2023 or 2024 as some of these were from Whirlpool too. Any...

Some of the newer GE’s also seem to get into the constant drain cycle, tho it’s less common.

A lot of these 2023 and 2024 Whirlpools do this I’m seeing people report this on models made on mid-late 2024. I don’t seem to be seeing it in the 2025’s yet.

Whirlpool actually made one like this for maytag although this image of the control panel looks AI generated. Those made more options and I believe those were the MVWC700VW model. Those were direct drive and were good machines.

I liked Whirlpool for a long time, but the newest washers they make are probably even less reliable than Samsungs (at least the lower end Whirlpools)! They have a major control board issue and it’s way more common than before, I see Reddit threads about it and reviews about this issue all the...

I thought these were Amanatag

And I never see older ones do this, it’s almost always the newer ones with the suspension rods. Like when did you read something that said “my 2005 whirlpool direct drive washer exploded”, like I never have, it’s almost always a newer style top load of some type. I most commonly see it with GE’s...

VMWs actually do have balance sensors but they often don’t detect it as off balance if it’s off balance while spinning at a high RPM.
