I am not sure what will be next--water heater and furnace are about 17 years old, the washer/ dryer is 7- we had a cheap frigidaire stacked front loader that I never really cared for from jump, it does not clean well and shakes on spin. We bought a asko small pair tonight, I would not have bought it if it wasn't a deeply discounted floor model. They are supposed to be 20 year life expectancy--yah right--we have to get a pretty compact unit because of where we want it---they stab you more on those than the monster units!
