 The reason I thought I finding a kitchen aid. They use a slower speed and think it would last longer as it doesn’t have a ‘high speed’ ...That's not a point of concern regards to longevity. All KA models run high motor speed for drain, and high-speed spin on the Regular/Heavy cycle. Some that have stepped-spin run high for the last two mins of final spin on Perm Press. Very early models for a couple years didn't have the oversized agitator and reduced-speed agitation profile, and some lower-end models in later years (such as Pic #5) also may not have it. | ||

The loud spin in the Bravos with the F&P design is probably a bad bearing(s). I remember someone on here, believe it may have been John L, stated that the bearings tended to go bad quickly on these machines. That being said I liked them, quieter (when operating properly) and IMO better performers than the VMW bravos that followed.

Bearings in F&P-native machines seem to last longer. My GWL08 ran for 22 years on the original bearings, until the control board went bad, and it was once flooded. IWL12 is 19 years, it was taken out of daily-usage some years ago but is run occasionally (sheets two days ago). Two AquaSmarts are 14 and 16 years, both original bearings. A 2005 GWL11 that was given to me had the bearings go bad in 2022, the only one thus far.
