Product review (1 stars): DO NOT BUY ANY COMPUTER-RUN MACHINE
We foolishly bought the Whirlpool Duet washer & dryer set 8 years ago. The dryer lasted about 2 years before needing the defective computer panel for the controls replaced, cost of $300. In calling Whirlpool, they said hmmm, that shouldn't happen, it must be defective. When I asked for a discount on a replacement, I got a very firm NO. We foolishly fixed the dryer.  Our washer, after 8 years of normal use, failed with error messages & would not complete a cycle. The technician we got out said it was the motor computer failing, it would cost $350 to repair it but he did gently push me to not put any more money in this ill-made product by telling me very soon, the control panel will fail too, thus now costing about $350 to replace that.  I began some research into analog washers & dryers, after the technician told me yes, they were still available. Thank God. In doing the research, I found the name Speed Queen which makes their machines without any computers in the machine, they are made well and in the USA and, are made just as they were 30 or 40 years go - they have not cut back in any way to cheapen a good product.  I called the company and they were very helpful, told me very simply about their operation and machines. I bought one and am thrilled with it. They are expected to last at least 20 years or more.  Worth the price, don't you think?

Stay away from any machines that are run by computers as we know how computers tend to fail.
