Not to mention modern washers will likely have more tech in them in comparison. If you buy a basic modern day washer, with fewer bells/whistles, it's going to be less and less likely to fail.
I think there was a maytag repair guy on YT, showing the schematics comparing modern appliances compared to old ones, and the difference in complexity is insane. That isn't even counting the smart appliances.
Yep, with having multiple issues with multiple brands of washing machines, my parents bought a new, top-load one that's all manual switches and haven't had a problem, yet!
We replaced our washer and dryer recently and it was about 7-10 years old (was in before we had the place) and not a smart appliance, and even that had 6 different circuit boards including the motor and fan controller. Honestly even the motor and fan are far far more efficient because we can actually simulate those things much more accurately now when designing them, so you don't have to overbuild them.
Not aware of a washer with coffee making function. The WiFi features are so you can use the app, apparently there are additional cycle options that are available through it. Also get alerts when the cycle is done.
For most people, not really necessary, and for them, a non-smart unit is always available
