Going to second this. My current combo washer/dryer is a heavy duty White-Westinghouse that came with the apartment. It's from 1999 and (knock on wood), works like a champ. The dryer is noisy at times (needs some lube), but apart from needing a new dryer belt it's been good in the 5 years it's washed my stuff. I think old Maytag is a good brand, and I'm sure there's many more.
My parents had some digital GE front loaders and surprisingly issue free over 10ish years. But I'm wary of all these newer machines. Awesome cycle selection and tailoring but I fear for their longevity in general.
E: I'll add, I haven't overloaded my machine but sometimes too many towels will impede the draining. The few times it's happened I caught it after the cycle ended, meaning it tried to do the spin cycle with all the water still in it. So definitely no nylon parts in there.
