I would buy a used Kenmore or Whirlpool washer and dryer. The top loader washer, not a front loader.
I work on them and mine will last 30-40 years. The front loaders are expensive to buy and expensive to repair. Most repairs on WP/Ken can be done yourself by watching Youtube videos.
Be selective, I'll bet you'll come across a hardly used one for little money. A friend was given an old Maytag and it's in great shape. I looked at it, it's over 30 years old and it looks almost new. By far the best machine ever made to wash clothes.
I can't understand how a machine can't be built for a $100. They all do 4 things, fill with water, agitate, drain and spin--that's it.
