Re: Need New Washing Machine--Agitator or Not?

I never heard of Speed Queen until I read about it here on the forum. Had a machine with no agitator, the clothes were never clean. It lasted four years before it broke beyond repair (repair cost more than the machine). I bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer over the phone, unseen based on what I read here. It is now a joy to do laundry, there is no turning back......the best.

Re: Need New Washing Machine--Agitator or Not?

My next washer will be a SPEED QUEEN....top-load. I'd rather pay more now, & have a product that lasts & works well (& made in USA!)

 

I currently have a Maytag front-load....what a piece of junk. I despise it! There isn't a single thing I like about it. I should have had it picked up & replaced, because it was a lemon from almost day one.

Re: Need New Washing Machine--Agitator or Not?

Replaced my washer and dryer this last year with a Speed Queen washer and dryer.  Bought specifically because of the agitator, large size washer and full fill.  I LOVE them. Quiet, versatile settings and great warrantee.  Purchased from local family owned appliance store with their own service. very very happy!

Re: Need New Washing Machine--Agitator or Not?

Many thanks to all of you who took the time and efforr to respond to my question.  After looking at many washers, I found a guy who fixed my old one. I am SOOO happy!!!   Guess I'll have to go through this in a few more years when it really does bite the dust.  Thanks again, everyone!

@lbwshop

That would my advice, get it fixed if possible. If not, get a Speed Queen.
