I've had a front loading Kenmore for about 8 years now and haven't had a single issue. Pretty solid machine. Actually every appliance we own is Kenmore

This has been the only air filter brand that works for my wife
Winix PlasmaWave 5300 actually works, vs. like a 5x more expensive blueair, which sucked ass.
since moving into our home, i keep a merv7 air filter on the furnace, and that's as high as i'm willing to go (a thicker one will restrict and maybe "choke"??? it), i do have a merv8 in pack if things get really bad (just moved in so have no idea on the pollen, etc)
so far she's doing fine, also i think our new miele vacuum is contributing, which is a vast improvement over our tried and true 15yr dyson(i'm using that as like a shopvac for now).

yea she likes carpet, so the compromise was to buy a 1k vacuum, lol.
also we don't have a wimpy ass feather duster, we use the fucking metrovac, it's a lot faster and more thourgh than dusting, just turn on the vacuum when you do it.
also i'm fucking happy i see lint coming out of my dryer into my backyard. That means the vent is working!, the vent was actually broken and it was venting into the fucking hvac/boiler room!

We got a Dyson Animal hand held, its freaking amazing. expensive, but amazing.
Bought a new washer/dryer last week (low end Samsung) then my dishwasher crapped out right after. Been in this new house since July. Got a pretty sweet Bosch, but my installer had to move some plumbing as the previous owner (sigh) installed the last one himself.

it's a TRUE Hepa vacuum, you buy the bags with air filters.
The suction and motorized head is amazing, true my dyson is ancient, a dc07, however i've serviced it myself (motor finally died a year ago) it's always clean, hell it cleaned better than my friends ball dyson back in jersey cuz he didn't keep it internally clean.
so of course i cleaned the carpets with the dyson first, then i used the miele and heard sounds coming through wand, yea it was picking up dirt that was deep in the carpet, also dumping out the bag, it was like a toupee clump that the dyson missed.
hell, when we get a dog (either a maltipoo so no worries) or a corgi (tons of fur) i don't see why i couldn't clean with the dyson first then do a final pass w/ the miele, it'll probably extend the life of the vac too.
again it's a TRUE real, HEPA vac i know it's working as a HEPA vac b/c my winix in the room is super sensitive, you fart and it turns on TURBO, my wife starts using makeup or something chemical, it goes turbo. if we use a duster it turns turbo.
When i use the dyson it turns turbo, when i use the miele, it doesn't dust isn't being kicked up cuz it's being sucked into the machine and stays in the air filter in it.
plus it feels like a fucking tank when i'm using it, really makes the dyson feel like a kids toy.

If I get a shedding dog, I'd vac with the bagless Dyson first cuz if all that hair, then go with the miele to get a deep clean, the miele is bagged.

If you have sinus issues or severe allergies to dust then those true HEPA vacuums are worth every penny.

I'm late to the game, but we've had a cheap Frigidaire washer dryer for 17 years. We do a metric fuck tonne of laundry with five kids, mostly teenagers, into lots of sports and such. I bet we do 3 loads every 2 days, likely more on average. We've never had to do anything to these machines, and I don't think they were $1,000 for the pair when we bought them 17 years ago.
I've heard front loading washers aren't all that any more. I think our next one will likely be a top loading spindle-less washer. I'm told their capacity is amazing.

Closing on a house in 1 month. Excited. (We could close tomorrow if the Seller was able to :3)
~4K sqft spread across 4 floors. ~1890's Victorian which has large amounts of remodeling done to the Basement, First and Second floor. Wife and I will be gutting the 3rd floor next year in order to outfit it with our offices and a 3rd full bathroom. Has a full on movie theater in the basement. Plan on rehabing the Garage next year as well... has a flat roof which is not optimal in the Northeast during the winter.
Old as fuck Tech in the theater (circa 2002) but it was top of the line then so its still functional while we wait for 4K Laser Projectors. I think the dude who owned the house hid in his theater and only spoke to his wife over the phone in the basement.
Wife loathes the design style in the theater but I think its nostalgic. Been a source of few arguments already and we haven't even moved into the house.
Thinking we will put ~100K into the house as whole next year. More or less what we got off the asking price.
- Garage Update
- 3rd Floor rehab
- Fixing a few external conditions (minor rott, etc)
- Solar Panels (IF and only IF they can be put on the roof -____-)
Now the hilarious part is...
At our current house when we moved in a guy who reported to my wife rented 2 houses down...
At the house we are purchasing a guy who reports to my wife rents 2 houses down...
100% unintentional.
