Updating front load washers

[packerscw]

What brands have you liked? Price for Parts? which would you buy again or not again? Which are just built bad?

Just looking for a little feedback before I make my purchase


Thanks in advance

I have 2 Continental 20 pounders. They are 120 single phase and have direct drive motors controlled by a VFD. They work quite well for my needs. I bought them last year after the 30lb Continental I had finally quit working after 13 years. They were $4000 each including the pedestals they sit on. I bought mine through a local distributor.

Home use? I bought the Samsung from Lowes. I haven't had any problems with it in the last 3 years.

Don't buy a Maytag if its free, this machine is what took them out.

No I have a laundromat with about 25 washers, looking to update some to 30lb washers.

I had Wascomats, I think was the name, Italian I think, no problems with them.
