Product review (5 stars): Speed Queen AWN542S Outstanding !!!!!
Not much else can be said about SpeedQueen in general, or this washer.  I have witnessed, and heard countless negative experiences with many of newer front loader, and HE machines.  When searching for a replacement for our old Whirlpool I searched high and low for positive reviews without high numbers of complaints, and/or issues with computerized controls and low water levels, but could not.  Stumbled across the SQ line and after a quick bit of checking KNEW it was right for us.  The machine performs flawlessly, zero issues, and no regrets whatsoever.  Very heavy to move but what would you expect with a metal transmission.  Upon unpacking, and removing the shipping braces, ran a test cycle while taking the packing material up and out to the recycling can, when going back to check on the machine it wasn't running, and I feared an issue.  What I didn't know was the machine had already COMPLETED the cycle !!!!!!!  Don't contemplate, just click here on Amazon or run to your local mom and pop dealer (no big box chains don't carry them) and you'll be glad you did.

Only advice to new owners is to leave both shipping plugs in place until the unit is where it will go, AND on your first run, add some water to the drum to prime the pump.
