Product review (5 stars): OLD SCHOOL BEAUTY QUEEN
I got this machine to replace a broke front loader Kenmore Elite He3t. I vowed to never get a front loader again. They simply don't get the clothes clean. This beauty queen is old school. Central agitator, fills up the tub with water, spins so fast that clothes are barely wet when done. Real nice machine. The water level is adjustable by knob or by other methods. Load doesn't take hours like HE units- very quick cleaning.

From what I understand, they are basically a commercial washing machine company. If you go to a coin op and see a top loader, most likely it is a speed queen. They are all made in the USA. A small portion of their business is household washing machines - made in the same factory as their commercial units - NOT OUTSOURCED ! Kudos to a company that still knows how to make a decent machine. Shame on the EPS for pushing these front loaders for thousands of dollars on the public. Water is a renewable resource. It is really time we stop letting the government into every aspect of our lives. I got this machine for 699 at a local shop brand new. Worth every penny.
