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!

I have the Estate by Whirlpool TAWS800JQ1

It's the same as Whirlpool but $100 less for the same thing.

I got the house brand.

No regrets and I can take it apart and put it back together.

No $150 service calls for me on my $300 washer!!!!!!
