Anne, I'm about in the same boat as you. But I've only ever had Maytag (in my life, my mother had Maytag before I had my own home) and I don't particularly like this last HE set I bought just shy of 7 years ago. I have the service man coming with a minor repair for the dryer later this week. I told him when I called him I'm really considering replacing this set and asked what he thought reliable as made today. He said LG has done a good job with laundry appliances. I told him that bothered me a little, I'd almost rather have American made and he then responded GE Deep Fills. He's factory authorized service in several brands, and not a young man (although younger than me ;0)) and that was his recommendation. The closest Miele service is two hours from here in good traffic - in a previous conversation he had told me he did not have time to take on Miele service even though he'd been approached, that his hands were full now. I don't think we've ever discussed Electrolux.

Hi Anne, I just purchased an electrolux washer and dryer. It was installed on Friday. I ran 2 loads through it on Saturday and it seemed fine. Yesterday the washer started making a horrible noise during the spin cycle. I'm scheduled for service tomorrow. I read all the reviews before deciding and they all have some bad ones. I looked at everything including Meile (way too small for me). If you can afford it, maybe the Speed Queen top load washer. It's been redesigned for 2019 so that it has the original drive system. All I can say is good luck. (I have notoriously bad luck with appliances.)

GE imajor appliances division is owned by Haier since 2016. Haier is a Chinese company. GE appliances are assembled in the U.S. but components are sourced on the world market.

There's only one Speed Queen toploader model introduced a few months ago that has the "original" drive system, model TC5. The other three models -- TR7, TR5, and TR3 -- are the 2018 redesign.

FWIW, LG front load washers are also being assembled in the US, now, albeit also having components "sourced on the world market." (Nice phrasing, btw.) The new WM3900 front-load washer seems to be getting a fair amount of praise generally as well as specifically for the speedy "turbo-wash 360" wash and rinse function. Haven't seen much about the matching dryer.

Are you are looking for a front load or top load washer, or maybe either? You might note Speed Queen offers both, and its FR7 and FF7 residential front loaders get pretty high praise from users. The washers are built in Wisconsin. Mostly US parts although I think they outsource the circuit boards. For the present, the machines are being offered with 10-year full factory warranties. However, SQ washers do not have on-board water heaters and the FF7 and FR7 currently are very expensive --- priced just under $1900 last time I looked.

For a further FWIW, Consumer Reports recently published a ten-year compilation from member surveys on reliability of purchased appliances. Speed Queen, Miele and LG were the three companies whose washers were deemed by CR members to have "excellent" washing machine reliability.

OP: Do you have space for full-size or only compact appliances?

Thanks all for the responses! We are looking at front load specifically, with the drawer pedestals so to make it easier to load/unload and for storage. Speed Queen is not in the running for us for this reason. Miele, although I own two Miele dishwashers which I love, I'm not keen on the washers as they pretty much work optimally with their own detergent, and I don't want a ventless dryer.

Consumer Reports has recommendations for washer-dryer pairs, for example the LG WM3500CW washer plus LG DLE3500W dryer.
