Which brand of washer is better, Maytag or Samsung?

Which brand of washer is better, Maytag or Samsung depends on priority, durability versus features and technology. Maytag is considered more durable and reliable with commercial grade components, 10 year motor warranty, longer lifespan 12 to 15 years, fewer electronic failures, and better service network in US, as Maytag is owned by Whirlpool with American made parts.

For long term durability and simple operation, Maytag is better. For tech savvy wanting smart home integration and large capacity, Samsung is better.
