Appliance reviews?

We are looking to get a new washer/dryer. I am going to do my homework but thought I would ask the masses here. Specs we are looking at....
no front load washer(horror stories)
Prefer no digital display/boards
Dryer is NG
NO MAYTAG
I'm leaning towards Samsung....
Thoughts, pros/cons
Thanks
Steve

We went to a local Mom and Pop appliance repair shop to get ours.
All manual controls and not a problem one with either the washer or the gas dryer in 5 years so far.
I think we paid 300 for the pair.
