We have always heard that Speed Queen was the best, but we couldn't afford it. So we bought MayTag a few years ago. Bad mistake!! So we saved to buy a Speed Queen set. So sorry we didn't many years ago. We are so happy now. We even save on detergent and softener. Wow!! We are telling everyone about Speed Queen! Thank you.
So far we’ve extremely happy. Like washers of old… sturdy construction, good washer cycles and clean clothes. I guess you get what you pay for. Wife is soooo happy!
I absolutely love this dryer except for one thing. After two months of use, the dryer continues to have a terrible odor. It smells as if someone left a rotting submarine sandwich (hero, hoagie) in the dryer when it was being assembled. I have tried wiping it out numerous times with a soft cloth and mild liquid soap detergent. Nothing has helped!
Extremely loud when starts up. Not what I expected for the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
