Product review (5 stars): My Two Cents' worth
We got a Speedqueen washer recently; end Jun2016 to be exact. We are a non-profit organization, a small community living outfit and our washers needs repair every yr, it's become a tradition. We've got well known brand names, all failed to meet up to our needs - a washer built like a tank. We have a commercial washer but we needed a domestic washer built like a commercial washer for small volumes and can whatever "abuses" and washes within half an hr and one that lasts and lasts with no plastic parts. Did some research and was glad amazon gave me good directions to a Speedqueen. It's still a bit early to tell since it's only 3 mths, but we like what we see so far. If you need a washer that lasts and takes no longer than half an hr, when the normal mode is chosen then you shld be safe with a Speedqueen. One joke I came across while doing research was this, someone actually had to wait 5 hrs for his washer to do a complete cycle. Will update shld anything else comes up. But meantime, this Made in USA is one of the rare find these days.

One last word of advice, better to do research and get a Speedqueen from your nearest dealer so in case anything breaks, you got follow up service. Certain things, you can buy on amazon but for big ticket items like a good washer or a garden tractor, don't go big box shops or online. You need back up services and not be left out in the cold. This is something I am grateful to fellow consumers' advices. Some guy said what has the delivery people or shop got to do with a product review it shld strictly be on product alone and not the seller's performances. Yes and no. If you know how to fix what goes wrong fine, if you're not knowledgeable in tinkering with a garden tractor or washer n not very DIY then think again.  For some products, you need the professionals to make sure it's all adjusted and properly functioning before usage and delivery like a garden tractor to adjust the pressure and stuff.

So always Research Research Research and you won't be sorry !
