Which Washers

    So, I'm just a little annoyed ... our washing machine just broke and we will have to buy a new one tomorrow.
    Now I am interested in what criteria do you use to search your devices like washers and with which brand have you been satisfied? Also, do you have experience with cheap models?
    We looked at this website https://productz.com/en/washers and noticed that the price range is from 350$ to well over 1000$. I've heard from coworkers that some models have a lot of plastic, is that good or bad? Can you recommend us some good washers?
    Thank you!

    This is an internet marketing forum, probably not the best place to ask about washing machines....

    We all use them though
    I have a Samsung although my normal preference is for Fisher and Paykel
    I prefer front loading but in my country top loading is the norm
    I cgaf how much plastic is in it, washing machines are cheap and by the time they can no longer be maintained they've earned their keep
    I have no idea what brands are available in Bosnia, nor what an acceptable price might be.
    Do you want a new one, or are you happy to buy second hand?

    Why do you NEED to buy a NEW one? Why not buy a used one that works? Since they are so common, finding a good used one should be EASY and more importantly CHEAP.

    Around here (U.S.) used washers hang in the area of $50 to $100, and often will outlast a new one.

    Samsung washer are good, I have one for 6 years. I did some repairs but not so costly. Some common issues Samsung washers might have.

    Just discovered that Fisher & Paykel no longer make spare parts for machines that are over 10 years old.
    Our local repair guy has run a repairs workshop for 40 years. He's now closed it. Machines don't break down until about the 10-year mark so he either needs to create his own stockpile of parts or quit the business. He's chosen to quit.

    The general rule in my industry (automotive) is that parts 10 years out of production are no longer available from the dealer. However, I have lucked out at times and have found new parts 60 years out of production that have sat on the dealers shelves for 60 years.

    The other alternative, but probably not cost effective for appliances, is to salvage used parts from old machines. That is basically what I do - buy junk transmissions, salvage what I can, and scrap the rest. Been doing that for 40 years and in my industry it works. Today I sold used parts for 1960, 1970, 1985, and 2004 transmissions for total sales of US$700, net about US$550 after expenses.

    Every once in a while I even sell parts to someone in Kiwiland, Ozmonia, and so on.
