Congratulations.  When my trusty Kenmore died a couple of years ago after many years of service, I replaced it with a Speed Queen.  I've been very happy with it.

@fthunt GOOD FOR YOU! 

I am jealous but so happy for you. I made the mistake of buying a Whirlpool. And am patiently waiting for something to go wrong. I suspect I won't have too long of a wait.

 

Honestly can not believe that someone designed and put that appliance on the market. On occasion I will take the dirty clothes to the laundromat rather than use my Whirlpool washer. The laundromat has Speed Queen.

I've tried every single brand out there. I'm presently using an Electrolux and loving it! Heart

Good luck on getting a real washer. We have had our new tc5 speed Queen just over 3 weeks and I love it. What model did you get?

We have the SQ TR7 and have no complaints whatsover.  If it lasts as long as my Fisher & Paykel (19 years!), I will be more than happy.

Re: Another Speed Queen Washer Sold

If you have a chance to look at Consumer Reports they rate washing machines. 

 

SQ top loaders are rated in the 60's.  Front load SQ is rated in the 70's.

 

There are 3 SQ washers rated as 84.  The prices range from $1800.00 to $2100.00. 

 

They aren't as good as they used to be and are pricey.

@drizzellla I have an LG front load washer that is from 2012 and fingers crossed it's still working great!

 

However I had a whirlpool dishwasher that was terrible from day one.  It had lots of annoying things happen to it not to mention the little pieces of plastic that kept breaking off.  We replaced it after 8 years or so with a Miele dishwasher which works very well!

@fthunt Yes, when we moved a few years ago we were delighted to get rid of our old Kenmore/Whirlpool.  I am short and sometimes I would think I couldn't get the sheets even out of the machine.  We were looking for a washer when we found this house.

 

I'll add to that our old house didn't have room for some of the bigger top loaders or a front loader because of the placement of the door to the garage. This house has a laundry room--a blessing to us for sure.

 

SO, we switched to LG front loader and 8 years later it is still going.  I can't say how much I hated that old washer!!!!  But whatever you decide I hope and pray it doesn't knot those clothes!  I know about that!!!!!
