Purchased the Speed Queen washer due to it's 7 year warranty and US made construction. Totally pleased with the outstanding washing results. It cost more than other washers but you get what you pay for.
I had to buy a new washer after 25 years, I did a lot of research. I called appliance services, and asked what was the best brand of washer & dryer. It was always Speed Queen. I love that it is made in USA! The steel drum, motor and wash features were important to me. I can choose an autofill or I can choose full load of water! I also appreciate, the delay lid lock! It never fails, that I need to add a sock. I am very happy with my Speed Queen washer!
The machine is solidly built with all the options anyone could hope for. It is easy to use and washes the clothes efficiently and thoroughly. You stand behind the washer with a 7-year warranty. It may be a little more than other washers, but it is that much better and will last that much longer. Maybe forever.
First time speed queen buyer. So far so good. Seems a little louder than previous GE I've had, especially with bigger loads. I am watching this closely as it seems to make a loud clicking noise on the final spin cycle.
After years of battling it out with a Samsung that never seemed to get enough water into my laundry I bit the bullet and bought my speed queen. Best decision I ever made! I get it….you can walk into a big box store and take home a washer dryer set for the cost of 1 speed queen appliance and we all work hard for our money. With that in mind I reverted to the buy once cry once philosophy so yes it did sting the wallet but once I got home and installed it I’m pretty sure I won’t cry about the cost for several years because it’s already exceeded my expectations. Take clothes cleaned by your previous brand mine was a top loader that used a computer to control the water height then run them through your speed queen either on auto fill or top off the drum, look at the water through the wash cycle then you’ll understand. Between soap being left in your clothes to not enough water to get them clean it will be evident in the wash water.
