Maytag A482 (from the year 1984)

My parents bought us this Maytag top-loader as a housewarming present nearly 24 years ago. It has been amazing! It needed one very small repair (a part to help it balance) about ten years ago, and runs like a top!
Between two daughters and two dogs, we've done at least six loads a week.
Recently the washer's drum has been leaving rust stains on clothing if left in the washer overnight, so it's time to shop for a new one.
It frightens me to read reviews of all other brands in which owners complain of problems within the first year. I guess they really don't make them like they used to, and even Maytag isn't as dependable as the old models.
