Product review (5 stars): It is not flashy or cool looking, but its built like a tank and fast!
Our 23-year-old Kenmore Elite top loader stopped working due to an electronic problem. We searched reviews to find our new washing machine and chose the Speed Queen. First of all its a commercial grade machine designed for home use and to support this claim, they have a 5-year bumper to bumper warranty.  It is not flashy or cool looking, but its built like a tank and fast. The downside is its drum is smaller than we would prefer. However, we chose reliability over cosmetics, and the price point was acceptable. Bottom line we are happy and this machine washes our clothes exceptionally well.
