Washing machines hav gon down the rat hole in recent years. I bought a consumer reports top rated LG waveforce top load.  It can't wash anything without going out of balance every time. To rebalance it refills with water and jiggles clothes around.  It does this multiple times wasting huge amounts of water.  Enter the speed queen.  Clothes done in less than half the time, no unbalanced loads AND THEY ARE CLEAN.  I no longer get comforts covers out of the wash with my dogs paw prints still on them because the HE top loaders use so little water and have poor agitation. My speed queen CLEANS the clothes and does it FAST.  What more would you want?  And it is durable and easily repaired too.  Get one and never look back.
