Take what you can with a sample size of 1 but we've had a Frigidaire from Lowes for just over three years now. Only issue has been an occasional slight dribble from the front door w/really full load, which appears to be nearly universal for these puppies. I got the extended warranty b/c of the history of these being problems in the past and relatively new tech for the US manufacturers building them. Washer has paid for itself with reduced hot/warm water consumption, reduced demand from our well is a bonus. Much easier on clothes but these do retain some water and you'll likely get mold at some point esp. if the door is kept shut.
