Do not have any experience with the TC5 or TR7 models but bought an AWN series in 2016 after a long succession of starter models from all the major brands. It is one of their semi-commercial model top loaders also sold with a coin-op option for apartment use. We also run our hot water heater at the high end. It has been fairly robust, and the cast iron gearbox gives it some extra heft to keep it planted in place with out of balance loads. Non-digital (they were just joining the digital age with one model), it had the old fashion timer/relay. However, I did just have to replace the shaft seal and drum bearing last September, which I though was a little premature. Never had to do that with any of the cheaper models, something else usually gave up first. It was easily rebuildable, other than working down in a drum, and all the parts one would want were readily available. So maybe just bad luck?
