Product review (5 stars): My favorite washing machine! Fast and excellent for washing dirty clothes!
This is my favorite washing machine! I bought it 6 years ago when I had my own place. I currently live with extended family so my beloved Speed Queen is in storage. Which means that for now I am using my family's top rated new Whirlpool Duet HE washing machine. Let me say there is no comparison. The Speed Queen is a far better machine than the Whirlpool Duet. I work on a dairy farm, so I come home with the dirtiest, stinkiest clothes.  Farm clothes are a true test for any washing machine. The Whirlpool Duet HE machine has a hard time getting the manure off my clothes, even on the heaviest cycle. With the Whirlpool, I can still pick cow poop off my shirt sleeves after they are "washed". Gross! Plus, the Whirlpool Duet takes forever, and the clothes often have to be rewashed. However, my Speed Queen could get the manure off my farm clothes the FIRST TIME! No stuck on manure. Just clean. Plus, the Speed Queen is very time efficient. I could get all my clothes washed in a matter of a few hours. This meant my laundry was done, and I could spend the rest of my day doing things other than laundry. The HE machines are so slow it takes all day to wash the same amount of clothes. I highly recommend a Speed Queen. It is a simple, straight forward washing machine. It does a great job. I can't wait until I get my own place again so I can hook up my amazing Speed Queen!
