Product review (5 stars): SQ gives top cleaning and energy efficient
Six months ago, I dumped my Kenmore Calypso after realizing not only did it damage, destroy and leave things smelly, but it was an energy guzzler as well. The need to repeatedly run extra rinses ate up energy.

Enter the SQ 3.3cubic feet top loader. Old school to the core with its simple, no fuss panel, gentle action and water.  Yes, water in enough quantity to get it done right the first time. Cycles are quick and that saves energy. Coupled with its companion electric dryer, a load of towels washed and dried in 60 percent less time than my Kenmore Calypso pair. And finally, things are really clean with that fresh smell that my high efficiency Kenmore just robbed clothes of. I cannot thank reviews here enough for pointing me to the SQ. The SQ is the top loader that will give you the most fully clean and efficient machine despite EPA claims.  Yes, it uses water, which is abundant where I live, but washing a load over and over in an he machine to try and get the stink out is NEVER efficient. And no more he detergent that costs more. Just clean and efficient old school laundry.
