Built the old way. With Quality.  After having a Maytag for 30 years, I decided to upgrade.  The upgrade didn't work out, so I asked around and the consensus opinion was that the Speed Queen was the best around.  It took a few days to chase one down locally to see what they looked like, capacity, functions, etc.  After finding one, I was happy to get rid of the HE unit that didn't work.  After 4 months, it has worked perfectly.  I stuff it full of clothes, dump some detergent in, turn it on and walk away.  30 minutes later, they are ready for the dryer (the HE unit took over 2 hours to do a single load).

It's heavy, included all hoses and power cords, and seems to be built to last.
