We keep having to replace the logic board on our dryer.

Motherfucker, your job is to get hot and spin. I want the old "egg-timer that flips a switch" tech to come back.

My wife hates our "ugly" fridge that came with our house. It's about 25 years old works perfectly, even the ice maker. She is a frugal person that can't justify replacing it until it breaks. Yet it keeps on ticking. Everyone I know who has a fridge made in the last 10 years has a broken ice maker. I'm happy with the "ugly" perfectly functional fridge.

My washer I bought in 2015 for a condo worked all the way to when we sold in 2024. Likely still going because it never had an issue.

New house washer purchased last year, still no issues.

My inlaws have gone through several in the last 10 years.

Biggest difference is user error. My inlaws wash a big load of towels every single day and load the washer to the lid. I load 3/4 full and don't go through towels like crazy.

People just don't know how to use appliances.

99/100 times user error is the answer to most stuff. Users are idiots who will not accept responsibility as long as they can say "well it's the appliance that is built bad".

Is it really that it worked for 30 years or just that the couple times it failed that actually got somebody to repair it?

I had my washer/dryer for 8+ years now. Actually got the extended warranty for sure reason and it covered having a repair when it started leaking, but given the cost of repairs hasn't just elect to buy a new unit.

I went back to my birth country and my grandmas toilet is ancient, like 100 years old and the insides are original, never replaced and they work. Meanwhile im in Canada and I’ve had to replace the mechanisms inside the water tank like twice in 3 years

That's because Whirlpool bought up all of the competition. Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, JenAir, Roper, Kitchenaid etc are all the same company and the competition they didn't buy has less incentive to produce much better units because now they have to compete with cheaper built machines.

They didn't buy up Bosch (to my knowledge) but maybe they're not in the us?

or LG, who are currently the leaders in reliability.

Everytime this kind of topic comes up, it's always Miele that gets mentioned.

My apartment is furnished with slightly older appliances for laundry. They rattle the floors. I know when the downstairs neighbor is doing laundry etc. They are so ugly and yet so reliable.
