OK guys, I definitely need a dryer, well both, but my dryer is just beat now. I was going to go LG or Samsung but after reading this post I think I'm going to go Speed queen. They seem more durable without all the electronics and plastic. I have two kids and a good amount of laundry. I got 10+ years out of my cheap simple appliances but now I need to step it up. I'm fine with $1600 for both. How serviceable are these things? Are parts easy to get? Seems like there are two appliance places near my house that carry them.
All new appliances are complete crap. My grandmother’s lasted like 50+ years. I buy what I think is the safest bet - Maytag commercial without a bunch of bells and whistles to break - and what happens? They crap out in about a year or two.
