When we sold our house in AZ and moved to PA, the buyers of the AZ house wanted the washer and dryer. They were Maytag and they were 8 years old and basic...nothing fancy. The washer had an agitator and basic settings and lots of water.
The house we bought in PA also had the washer and dryer that stayed with the house. They are new within the last 3-4 years. They are Whirlpool and I'm sure they were purchased at Lowe's. The washer is top-load with an agitator but it has the low water level and it's taken me a while to figure out what setting to use to get more water. I don't particularly like the washer but it's fairly new and we'll keep it until it conks out. We're retired so we don't have a lot of soil in our clothes so I guess this washer will do for now. At least we didn't have to spend additional money to buy a set as we just had 3 rooms completely gutted and remodeled and that was a huge chunk of money. I can live with this washer and dryer for now.
