Don’t know how old my washer and dryer are. They came with the house. Maybe someone will get desperate enough to deliver a set of Speedqueens out here to the boonies.

Great news. The cost of shipping has skyrocketed. Making made in America competitive. Off shoring should be punished with tariffs. And on shoring should be rewarded with tax breaks.
