I disagree. The guy who sold me mine has been working in appliances sales for over 30 years. He knew I wanted American made, simple, for life. He went through stats and consumer reports details with me for over an hour. Guy was brilliant.

I'm glad yours is working well, and it does seem like they've improved within the last few years, but I'm glad I got mine in 2016 :)

One thing the salesman taught me was the drum i side used to be made of steel. That changed due to costs, etc. and now parts are fiberglass, etc. He seemed to imply that the good quality went away with steel parts.
