Washing Machine

An unusual post (for me) today, but I'm hoping someone in blogland might have some advice for me.
Two years ago we bought a Whirlpool Duet front loading, high efficiency washing machine from Sears for $1,000 plus tax (which is approx. 15% here). It was supposed to save us buckets of money in hydro and water bills.
Today I paid $118 for a repair man to be in my house for less than 60 seconds, to tell me that the bearings are shot and it will cost over $600 (plus tax) to fix!
From my online research, it seems that this is a common occurrence with this washing machine.
My first washing machine lasted for 22 years (without a single repair) so I am more than shocked that the new ones last less than 2 years!  Is this just how appliances are now? Has yours lasted longer than 2 years?
I guess we will probably buy a new one rather than put almost the same amount of money into trying to fix the "old" one and of course, won't buy this brand again.
Do you have any advice on washing machines?
