Samsung
The easiest warranty and parts situation in this list — authorized service is nationwide rather than mail-in. You pay for that in spec-per-dollar terms.
If getting a machine repaired instead of replaced matters to you, this is the safer bet on the list. Owning other Samsung appliances helps too, since setup, notifications, and scheduling collapse into the SmartThings app instead of a fourth vendor account.
