Got rid of my old speed queen for a fancy front loader set (not speed queen). Clothes stunk for 2 years, finally I had enough and bought a new speed queen set. Clothes smell great because they are actually being washed. Only con is I work construction and you can't wash my work clothes on eco mode. I'm never buying another brand let alone a front loader again.
I love the textured black finish on my new dryer, very classy! Easy to operate, dries great and is built solid like no other dryer. Would highly recommend and worth every dollar spent.
The 2 complaints I have so far is that the dryer makes a very loud buzzing/humming sound coming from the electronic control board located in the bottom left corner of the dryer. It also makes a metallic sound that seems to be emanating from the outlet duct when first warming up. After warmed up, the noise goes away. Very unrefined product for the price that you pay. My Whirlpool machines were much more refined in the design aspect, but I will say they didn't clean as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!
