Recommendations for a front loading washing machine

I am after recommendations for front loading washing machines in the up to $1000 price point.
I bought a Hisense 9kg front loader about 4 months ago and have already had the machine replaced twice due to both units being faulty.
I was looking at Bosch / Electrolux but both brands have scathing reviews online :/
I would LOVE a Miele but it's just not in the budget and with a grotty husband and 2 sons I need a machine that is reliable.
Currently considering LG... but I'm open to all suggestions.
TIA

When my front loader died after only having it for 12 mths, the guy I got out to try and fix it said don't bother fixing it and go out and buy a top loader. Aparently when your doing big loads such as family size the barrels just don't last. I have had my top loader for 3 yrs and never skipped a beat I would never go back to a front loader.

Hi I have had a LG 7kg front loader for 7 years and the only problem I have had is it has moved occasionally on unbalanced loads but maybe we didn't stabilise it properly when we set up up. Not sure if this is a common problem or not. It only happens with certain loads of towels.

Samsung. We had a 7.5kg Samsung in our rented house and loved it so much we got one when we moved into our forever home. About 700-800, I think?
