A coworker told me what her appliance repairman recommended when I needed new appliances. The Speed Queen Heavy Duty Commercial washer and dryer are made by a company that supplies laundromats. They are very simple and easy to repair if needed. I won't ever be able to control it from a phone app while away from the house, but I'd rather have a top-loading machine with a choice of water levels anyway.
This brand is not sold at the big-box stores. I had to search for an appliance sales/repair shop that carried it. I found one about five miles away. The advantage of buying from this store is that I know who to call if I ever need it repaired. I'm so grateful that I found out about it before buying a new-fangled machine.
