Product review (5 stars): Hard workout, no problems, & liked by all
I purchased this model a couple of years ago for an upscale home that I rent out.  I've had four tenant families since then and they have all commented on how much they like it.  It has never needed service and it still looks like new (good tenants).  (By-the-way, this is not a coin-op model.)

My own, 15-year-old, GE washer just had the tub rust through and after spending a lot of time reviewing all kinds of new washers I'm going to buy a Speed Queen for my family.

My primary reasons are the performance of the Speed Queen in my rental unit, and cycle time.  We typically put a load in when we get up in the morning and we want it washed and dried before we leave for work.  The Speed Queen has a normal cycle time of about 30 minutes!  Load washer, shower and dress, load in dryer, eat breakfast, remove from dryer, and catch subway in slightly over an hour.

I'm a big fan of EnergyStar appliances, but the approach they have taken for most washers cause the cycle time to be too long (60+ minutes).  I don't believe that they would be energy efficient for me.  I do wish that this washer could recycle the water it used like my mother's old washer did.
