We had a fancy digital two-drawer washer (from another manufacturer), and literally every feature shorted out or just stopped working. Based on that, I decided Keep It Simple Stupid, and went with an all-mechanical unit that still does more than the digital one did once all the features stopped working.
So, if you want something that will outlast your home, this is your washer. If you want to pay a lot more to be able to control your washer from your phone (til it stops working a few months later), I'm sure that's out there somewhere.
