I bought this washer to replace a Maytag that broke after only 2-l/2 years. I am extremely happy with the Speed Queen and all its features. Sure, it might cost more than other brands, but it is 1000 times better.
Im hoping this will be my last washer. Its definately very reliable and quiet. No dancing across the floor on spin cycle. All my clothes are actually washed.when the cycle is done. The Fabrice softener is still staining my clothes though. All in all. Worth the money.
The machine is well designed and operable. I am rather disappointed that the spin cycles are not very vigorous, and the clothes are rather wet when finished. I appears reliable. I wish I could enhance the final spin to my liking. I am further disappointed that the main wash is "eco wash." It does have some bells and whistles, that allow me to adjust the time of wash and temp. There are several special cycles that really don't apply to me.
