Product review (5 stars): love my Speed Queen
love my Speed Queen. No bells, No whistles.  Just turn the knob selector and wash your clothes.  I was so tire of broken down appliances (one my washer G.E. of 1 yr. breaking).  This is the greatest and I'm glad they make it still and it is a commercial heavy duty wonder.  You must have the lid down to fill the tub but I can live with that.
