I asked the retailer what the absolute best Washer/Dryer they sold that would last as long as my Maytag Neptune (22 years). They highly recommended the Speed Queen. They said they never see these in for repairs. I've read the testing & reviews of this product and I think this will the the last Washer/Dryer we'll ever have to buy. We've had this for a month or so, and so far so good. I like the extra options we didn't have on our Maytag.
I was shocked by the price. I bought it still. Glad I did. I bought it at 40 years old. If it dies with the next 20 years and I don't die... Then I am spending more and getting the front loader and dryer pair next time!! Worth it. I run one to 4 loads a day and really I have had my set for 3 years and they are flawless as the day I got them.
The clip that holds my dryer door shut has broken and no one has even responded to my questions
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dries clothes well. The only problem is the drum flattens out and the dryer makes a knocking noise when it frost starts drying. It’s stops after a minute.
This set is just simple. This is the style I grew up with, top loading. Clothes are far cleaner and I no longer have issues with suds or spinning during the rinse cycle You do get what you pay for! Seven years of parts AND labor is a no brainer I had purchased a unit from a big box store, and bought the warranty. The company denied service and instead gave me a prorated refund on the contract. Will never do that again. The only thing I do miss is an internet connection to monitor when done, but that is a 0 on a list of 10 as to why I'm so glad to have moved to a quality American-made product!
We were looking for a top-of-the-line dryer that offered pet hair removal. This Speedqueen met all of our criteria, outstanding durability and lifespan, and ease of use. Since purchase, we’re delighted with the ease of use, simple cleaning and lint tray management, pet hair removal effectiveness, and clothes drying. If we had to provision another home, we’d buy a second Speedqueen in a heartbeat!
