Product review (5 stars): Worth the money
I initially bought a $25 bearing set and installed them.  They were as noisy as the bearings I replaced.  I put up with the din for three weeks.  I bought a set of these, put them in yesterday (the cheap replacements fell apart when I removed them), and I'm thrilled.  The washer hasn't been this quiet in years.  Buy the good ones the first time; bearing replacement is too much work to do twice.
