For the latest ratings and information, visit ConsumerReports.org Washing machines/Front loaders More than 33,000 readers sound off on brand reliability LG is tops in reliability among front-loaders, but its breakage rate is not meaningfully lower than those of most competitor brands. Frigidaire is the least reliable brand of front-loaders. And due to its breakage rate, Frigidaire front-loaders can't be recommended by Consumer Reports at this time. These conclusions are based on our breakage rate estimates for front-loading washing machines by the 5th year of ownership, gathered from 33,519 subscribers who purchased a new washer between 2009 and 2016. Our statistical model estimates breakage rates for washers that are not covered by a service contract and accounts for the number of loads of laundry run through the machines per week. Differences of less than 5 points between brands are not meaningful. Models within a brand may vary, and changes in design or manufacturer may affect future reliability. Still, choosing a brand with a lower estimated breakage rate can improve your odds of getting a dependable model.
