A quick search on this sub may provide some insight, washing machines come up with some regularity. Speed Queen seems to be the favorite, but I don’t have experience personally.

I have a Speed Queen. I've only had it about six years which is not long, but no repairs, works like a charm. Machines with no/few electronics are going to last longer in general.

Speed queens are overrated, they beat clothes up pretty badly and are awful for power consumption

Overrated is your single opinion only…..and counts as zero. Hard to argue with the non stop overwhelming support, reviews, and history of Speed Queen. They do not “beat clothes up”. They do however get clothes clean. Something most people don’t understand anymore. If you actually work (as in do something that gets you dirty) these modern washing machines do a very poor job of cleaning your clothes. Especially those without an agitator in the middle. As for power consumption…..I assure you for me personally, that is the dead last thing I’m worried about when it comes to a washing machine. Or any other appliance to be honest. I have electricity….I pay for it. I’m perfectly ok with that.
