A very highly regarded brand here down under is a New Zealand manufacturer known as Fisher & Paykel. They do top loaders that have the reputation for reliability and durability.

Here is the website http://usa.fisherpaykel.com/laundry/washers/models.cfm for you and they can be bought through Pacific Sales also.

I have their washer and dryer.
