I would pay extra if I could still buy a washing machine with no electronics in it. They maytag of my youth lasted 3 decades without repair or maintenance (tho it was loud as fuck at the end) I especially can’t imagine feeling the need to make a washing machine internet connected.
Those warranties are parts only, not labor, and only on some specific component of the machine. It’s never a full 20 year parts and labor warranty, and certainly not a replacement warranty.
Samsung, LG, and even Maytag (Whirlpool) do this in the US also. They have their big “10 Year Warranty!” labels on the fronts of their machines, but if you peer at it with a magnifying glass it will reveal that it says partsonlyonthemotor right below it.
Obviously this is basically worthless unless you have the wherewithal to replace that motor (or compressor!) yourself. But it lets them legally slap a big 10 on it, in the hopes the consumer will get a warm and fuzzy feeling on it and not notice the provisos until it’s too late.

My maytag is still running after 20+, but like you said its kinda noisy
Probably just needs the suspension replaced.
You can already but you won’t because it’s 3-4x the price. Speed Queen is one of them. Your comment is just performative.
This is a 600USD washing machine with a 20 year warranty.
E:.world won’t let me upload images, so just imagine there is a picture of a Samsung with a 20 year warranty I saw in Shenzhen.
