Any recommendations on good reliable clothes washers?

Thanks!

It depends on what you want and what you want to pay.

I wanted a straight forward bread and butter model that I could work
on myself. So, I bought a Whirlpool Direct Drive washer.

I'm more concerned about reliability -- a basic top loader with
dial/mechanical controls.

Consumers reports rated the Whirlpool 5540 as one of their best picks -- is
that what you got?

I treat it like a garbage disposal and it keeps on running.

Sounds perfect to me!
