Fix Bosch Axxis or replace with compact Whirlpool

We have moved to a new home and I miss my Whirlpool Duets! Our new home has a beautiful laundry room with nice cabinets and granite counters, but the compact Bosch washer/dryer are barely working for my family of four.

The Bosch washer does not always drain when washing heavier loads (3 towels?), and I think the dryer has a circuit board issue because the controls don't function properly. For example, I set the load for what I want - delicates/40 minutes, and when I press start it adds 10 minutes and removes the delicates option.

My long (or hopefully short :-) ) term plan is to put a large washer and dryer in the unfinished basement for larger items and playing laundry catchup, and to keep a compact set in the laundry room for everyday use. So finally, my question is do I try to fix the Bosch washer and dryer, or buy the compact undercounter Whirlpool washer and dryer which has a slightly higher capacity (2.9 vs. 2.1)?

Thanks for any advice!
