I need to buy a new washer and dryer. It doesn't need to be large capacity since I live alone and I probably won't get a front loading washer this time. What brand(s) would you recommend?

Sybil... my clients who have been buying new machines all rave about Samsung and LG. Miele makes awesome equipment, but it's pricey.

We always have had a Maytag, and they do not make them like they used to. The company was bought out a few years ago, and they have replaced parts with breakable plastic one. We ended up with Kenmore, and it is great.

Maytag is generally dependable, GE seldom is.

Except for a dishwasher everything we have now is Whirlpool which has serviced us well. Pretty sure Kenmore & Whirlpool are same manufaturer, they share several parts in common.

Lisa, I had a front loader for over 6 years and I really wasn't that impressed with it.

Jeff, unfortunately Maytag was purchased by Hotpoint/GE a few years ago so they are not what they used to be; I had one that was awesome, wish I still had it.
