From what I understand Whirlpool & Maytag are still top of the line. The Whirlpool clothes washers are made in both Germany & Mexico depending on which model you buy. I am told both the Mexican made & German Made units are quality. The parts used, the design of the machines, ect are quality. They can be fixed when broke & are not disposable units like the "White Conglomerate" counterparts offered for slightly cheaper. I have replaced all my appliances with Whirlpool units through the years as needed & am happy. The local Mom & Pop shop here that sells & services these units responds like lightning when you call them.
Anyway, not to poo-poo on anybody else's applainces, just conveying my past experiences. If you like your Sears stuff- great. I hope it holds up well for you. If you want an alternative- look at Whirlpool & Maytag. Yes, these companies seem to change around but are still the best out of all that is currently produced. Maybe Sears sells Whirlpool now?? I don't know, If they did, I would buy from them (If I didn't have the local mom & pop shop) but wouldn't buy the extended warranty/service agreement.

Just my .02
