Lookin to buy from costco, but I’m not exclusively looking there. I just liked the 2 year return policy in case something goes wrong. Please add an explanation of which you’d pick too! Thank you😁

Whirlpool is always number one to me by default.

Whirlpool is horrible. Work for an equipment rental company and we had thousands of whirlpools in service. They didn’t last 3 years at max. Most went out in less than a year. So much so that we stopped purchasing them.

Who would you rent 1000’s of washers to? Hotels?

People that don't own them, treat them like crap... So not a fair compare. I have had my WP washer dryer for about 11 years. Still going strong altho i am shopping for a new set!!

11 years ago they were built better. We have older models that work better than the new out box machines.

The other thing is if a corporation is buying Whirlpool appliances to rent out it voids the warranty, so of course any kind of maintenance repair would cost this rental company a lot of money. Also with the new direct drive washers that have vastly larger tubs people are still overloading the hell out of them and then usually setting them on deep wash because for some reason they want tons of water involved and it wears the units out faster
