They are all junk.
I have heard that from the last three repair people that I have talked with.
I say that as I will have to be home between 12-3 today to await a repair person to deal with my six year old Whirlpool upright freezer that decided to shut down last week, resulting in its contents having to be hauled away by the city.
Come to find out there was a TSB on this freezer for this very issue. Would have been nice to let me know, so that it could be dealt with. Thought that was the advantage to "Registering" them upon purchase. Guess not.
However, in regard to washers/dryers, there is supposedly one model of Speed Queen that is still old school and is extremely durable. The newer models, not so much. The problem that I had with them (when I finally found one because the only dealers in my area are RTO places) was the capacity in them was so small (especially w/agitator) that it would take forever to do regular loads, let alone anything that required any capacity.
We ended up with a Maytag, and we are not crazy about it. The Maytag that we had before (went 23 years) and I would still be using it if the lower tub had not rusted out (and I could have found a replacement.) Went from always clean clothes, to sometimes clean clothes (if we are lucky on a given day.)
The three repair people all agreed on one brand (even the Bosch repair person who had to come out to repair my 30 day old Bosch dishwasher): Whirlpool. All three said that their recommendation was not based on them being exceptionally better, but that parts are readily accessible. I have to agree with that, because the repair person had the part for our freezer in less than 48 hours. With the current supply chain issues, I was amazed.
Probably the best road for you to follow is to buy the cheapest, simplest one that you can find, use it up, and move on. Higher end models don't buy you enhanced durability, just more costly electronics to replace.
