    Buy European: Miele, Rex Electrolux, Beko (Turkish, don’t get into that), Smeg, Candy, AEG, etc…

    Don’t want to jinx it, but my Electrolux washer-dryier is 7 years old and still like new, despite being relatively cheap and despite combined machines being more problematic.

        Our super cheap Candy (Washer and a drier) has been going for 5 years now without issue 🤷 Though i’d buy a different brand if i had to again and wasn’t pressed for money, I am definitely surprised how well it’s doing.

          I had a very different experience with the brand (washing machine actively trying to kill me, for exemple)

          Maybe there’s a difference between the different factories making them ?

            that could be, or maybe I got lucky. In any case, I’m not complaining. i remember it was like 750 bucks for both machines, and with other brands it would have been 800-1200 for a single machine

      My Euromaid is a decade old. Had to replace a $30 part after 5 years, but no other issues.

      Smeg

      They make acceptable and pretty toasters and similar appliances, but avoid this brand like a plague for fridges

        It’s such an unfortunate name. They really need to rebrand.

        I have a 7-year old fridge from them, bought discounted at the appliance outlet because of damaged packaging, it’s still like new and sips electricity. It’s a basic model, brushed stainless, no displays or anything.

          Interesting, I heard plenty of horror stories about their fridges being low quality.
