We always stuck to European brands - Gorenje (Slovenian), Karcher (German), Beko (Turkish) - apparently behind Viking these days - we used for washer, dryer, dishwasher. But you also have to look at country of manufacture - if it's China and not EU, I don't buy it.
Couple years ago we were in Egypt - Sharm el Sheikh and our room had a small kitchen that also included a washer - some off brand called Tornado but that was the first time in over 10-15 years that I've seen the cycle for 90 degree whites wash - these days max you'll see is 60 degrees (all in Celsius, I can't do F). I bet you that machine lasted for years vs current replace after 5 years.
