Product review (5 stars): Just what I was looking for!
I have had this machine for a month now, and I am so happy with it.  About 2 years ago we bought a GE top-load, HE washing machine and dryer set from a big box store. The dryer is great - I kept it, but the washing machine had to go! My darks came out with white residue that I had to rub off with a wet washcloth, and everything came out with tons of wrinkles. I don't put everything in the dryer, so ironing was quite a chore. The machine just didn't use enough water. Sometimes my HE Tide pods would be stuck in a fold of a piece of clothing because it didn't dissolve. That meant re-washing. How is that energy efficient?!?  I finally had enough, and my online research led me to the Speed Queen. Purchasing an appliance on Amazon was a little scary, but all went well. Delivery was set up and it came when they said it would. The SQ uses as much water as I tell it to. I love it when I check a load and see everything FULLY submerged in water! The load sizes range from mini to extra large. My clothes, sheets, and towels smell and feel cleaner. I kept my GE dryer, but the GE washer went to a benefit rummage sale. It sold for $150, and I sort of feel bad for the people who bought it. I hope it does better for them than it did for me! I highly recommend this machine. If you want the cleanest laundry possible, you need to get a simpler machine.
