The duets can be stacked but how do you feel they compare to the LG's or Bosch machines? The dryers all seem to be about the same so it s only the washer I am concerned about.

Why does everyone want these newfangled, foreign brands that are overengineered, harder to repair, more expensive to repair, hard to get parts for Boschs and LGs? Both LG and Boschs are so complex that only selected appliance repair companies will work on them and their customer support stinks.
At least Whirlpool is an American made company that has a strong parts and service network.
Please don't listen to what the sales staff reccommends, the more expensive appliances they sell, the more commision they get. Plain and simple.

| That's why I'm asking for opinions from the guys who fix these machines. I'm not looking to buy any specific brand. I just want a dependable machine that is stackable and has a good track record. Thanks for the advice.

I am too in the market for a new washer, mine flooded one too many times. I have been reading this thread and see that Whirlpool and Roper are winning the debate. I need just a washing machine, no restriction on space and all I want is reliable and hopefully economical, not too expensive as this is #3 in about 6 years. Unfortunately i can not hear the podcast. Oh, knowledgeable ones, what do you recommend?

I hear that the Grand Master himself will stand up upon the mention of the name... STABER.
Normally, ya sure, ya betcha. But, at present, Staber is having big production problems sourcing the motor control board for their washers. As a result, shipping times are in excess of 8 weeks! So, unless someone want to wait 2+ months for their new washer, I recommend that people either limp along with what they have or look at something else.
I'm thinking about buying a Staber washer. Website says delivery time is 1-2 weeks. However, I know better than to assume anything by that. Any word on how they resolved the situation?
