Speed Queens will last forever but also use more energy and water. I value energy and water efficiency, so I go for front loaders. I've had whirlpool and now two sets of Samsung. My last Samsung washer lasted ten years, so I am satisfied with that. I got a simpler model this time (no steam settings) and hope it will last 10-12 years. I don't expect more than that.

Speaking of LG refrigerators: My favorite fridge was LG and I miss it every day but it died with no warning and they basically can't be repaired (hard to get parts even before Covid, and parts aren't cheap, take forever to arrive, and repairmen won't fix them) but it was only 5 years old! I replaced it with a Whirlpool but I still miss the better design of the LG.

I see, good to know there’s a trade off for the long lifespan. Thanks!
