While paying thousands more for them
to keep with the 60s example; that's what you'd pay then. What's new today is mostly the fact that you can pay that kind of money for a washing machine and it sucks as a washing machine
Except it's not the 60s, so I expect better
Worth every penny when you can't get parts for your LG appliance and have to wait 3 weeks just for a service call because there is only 1 company in the area. LG and Samsung are the WORST
I imagine part of why these last longer is also that people pay for a 300$ repair for a 1800$ washing machine but not for a 400$ washing machine.
edit: video mentions this as a reason but other reasons too.
Yep, our touch panel is failing but a replacement board is $200 on a $600 unit
You might be able to replace a bad capacitor or something but labour costs will end up the same
$1000 USD for both is a great price.
A speed queen stack retails for $5500 USD in my country.
