She is 100% correct! We now live in a building that is 14 years old with the original Whirlpool washer and dryer still going strong. Top loading, no computers, no efficiency...just a simple washer and dryer.

They are still going strong after 14 years and I swear they do a better job than the fancy shmancy washer and dryer I had at my house. They don't look as nice, they don't have as many options, they aren't as efficient. But they work, keep working and work well.
