This.
My 25 year old whirlpool dryer died five years ago. Bought cheapest Samsung on sale at Lowe's. Battleship gray, or whatever they call it, was $150 cheaper than white in same model. Probably due to it being an ass-ugly color that no one except a bougie, douche Californian would buy. Bought it. Wife expresses dissatisfaction that it didn't match the 25 year old white washer.
In-laws chime in, "why didn't you buy a matching washer? These don't match."
I reply, "two things: THE WASHER STILL WORKS.... and unlike @Francisco 2.0's neighborhood, in this part of Tulsa, we don't keep our appliances on the porch for passers-by to admire (or judge), so I don't care. This one washes, this one dries, who GAF what they look like."
One year later, washer finally goes to appliance heaven. Bought no-frills Whirlpool front loader. This time, white was cheaper. Wife annoyed again.
Both appliances are doing what I bought them to do with no complaints. The next highest ($100) Whirlpool model has the ability to turn off the "warshin's done" alarm. My cheap one does not. The alarm is louder than than an Aggie shrieking about Texas and OU joining the SEC.
