Nope, talk to appliance people and they will tell you all of the traditional high end brands are junk now too

I specifically did not call them "repair" people BTW since most have lapsed into doing mostly installs...it's not even worth it to repair today's s junk and most people just replace. Cost of parts and labor now can easily exceed replacement cost (by design obviously)

Maybe Speed Queen is the one exception. I've had folks explicitly single out Bosch as a brand people still mistakingly believe is high quality. Follow the supply chain...it all comes out of just a few factories with most parts shared.

There are no longer high quality brands, only high price. High price is usually just for the name or appearance.

The thing with repair people is that they'll always complain that whatever model they see most often is crap, without comprehending that the reason they see that model most often is because it's sold 10-100x any other model.
