Product review (5 stars): No-Frills American Made Workhorse
I too bought this washer from a local retailer after my 1995 Amana top loader (manufactured by Speed Queen, btw) began leaking from the bottom tub gasket after 20 years of service and thousands of loads for a family of five. I wanted a no-frills machine that would give me another 20 years of service that was manufactured in the USA, and this one fit the bill. I watched a YouTube video on how to adjust the height of the water, and another video on how to bypass the mechanism that stops the machine when the lid is lifted, both easy hacks on a non-digital, old school machine.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
