What a GREAT thread! 
My kindergarten had a 1991 Candy (charme range - similar to my old exclusive) 600rpm. However it broke a year ago, so now I am volonteering and washing everything for my ex. kindergarten in my GO510 (that is in place near kindergarten) - doing a load per day because of it
Candy GO510 is a workhorse, and it is now 2.5 years old still perfect 
Anyway.. my primary school had first an old gorenje, than they bought new one in 2004 (Goreneje WA543) - no problems as far as I was informed.
Now secondary school has a Candy CN 63 T, from 2003 - replaced a pump in late 2007 because they thought machine doesn"t have a filter (it has a decorative cover so it can"t be seen) and in it they are washing mops they cleaned hallways with it every day - NEVER cleaned filter for 4 years LOL.. now they are cleaning it regularly
I know this is a thread of 20year+ washing machines, but this is my experience (and I still don"t have 20 years
).
cheers,

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!
