Every washer I've ever owned has been great until it stopped working. Ergo I think the current one (Samsung for reference) is great. But I've only had it 6 months. I might not think that when it inevitably breaks. It depends on how long it takes to break.
Never have I thought "I fancy a different white good - what shall I drop a few hundred quid on?" They get replaced begrudgingly when they fail.
The Beko washer drier that the Samsung replaced was great for n+1 where n is the length of the guarantee in months.
The 'oh God I can't remember' one before that did 7 years or so. Hotpoint? Candy? No idea.
Same for the one before that - 5 years plus. No idea who made it.
The Beko drier we had - to be fair to it - never broke, but it got given away when we got the washer drier. I did have to replace the belt on it once though, and because I couldn't work out how to remove the bearing without buying a tool, I have a scar on my hand from doing it without fully disassembling it. So don't do that.
