When we moved into this place 8 years ago, I went up to a used appliance/repair shop that has unfortunately since went away and bought a matching set of refurbished Maytag washer and dryer for $450, delivered and installed.. After a week we found out the dryer actually worked a little too well, you could smell hot clothes all the way around the house. One phone call, they sent a guy out and he used a hand held temp sensor and confirmed my suspicions that it was actually running way too hot.

An hour later the thermostat was replaced and we have not had one single issue with either one of them other than the plastic switch actuator on the dryer door that always breaks off.

No electronic anything on either one of them, just the old twist and pull knobs.

My Mom has been dead for at least two years now and she went through two sets of washers and driers in 6 years. Samsung expensive as fuck models.

Like $1600 just for a POS washer that didn’t last a full 2 years.

If either one of these units we have shits the bed for any reason, I will pay a premium to have someone fix them.

I absolutely refuse to have electronic appliances.

Why in the fuck would I want my toaster to be able to tell me what time it is in Tokyo or to be able to access my purchase history on Amazon?

I sure as shit don’t need my refrigerator being connected to the internet for any reason whatsoever either.

Keep It Simple Stupid is my operating principal for just about everything I have to deal with and will be until I take the Dirt Nap.

It’s why I drive thirty plus year old vehicles too.
