Product review (5 stars): Speed Queen is Star Performer
I purchased the Speed Queen front loading washer (AFN50FS) and I love it. It's very quiet, holds a lot more clothes than my last front loader, and gets clothes drier in the spin cycle than any machine I've ever had. I'm writing this review because the other review is so off the mark compared to my experience. I found out about the Speed Queen from the appliance repair man who was here to fix our old washer. Because of the cost to fix the old Maytag (broken circuit board, bad pump, etc), we decided to get a new washer. After seeing a negative review like the one on Amazon, I was confused, but I trusted our repair man and bought the Speed Queen. It's excellent! Less vibration or noise than any washer I've had, very water and energy efficient, and it does a great job of cleaning. There are many cycle options (delicate, large comforters, etc). Best washer I've ever owned!
