Product review (5 stars): Well made in the USA!!!
These are the best machines on the market, hands down.  They wash and dry big loads very well.  I found a youtube video comparing Speed Queen to Maytag.  This video actually takes the two machines apart to show the difference.  Most of the Speed Queen parts are metal verse Maytag with many plastic parts.  The Speed Queen is also engineered to come apart easily for service.  Not so with the Maytag.  I have nothing against Maytag but I used to think that brand was the best on the market.  Speed Queens are commercial grade machines that can provide heavy duty service for a long time.

Now that I have run the washer and dryer, I am surprised that some people thought these machines were noisy.  Not to me. They are much quieter than my old machines.  Some people also complained about the lack of features.  Speed Queen also offers electronic controlled machines that give you more options.  I preferred the simple mechanical controls.

This is one of the best purchases that I have every made.  I have owned Whirlpool, Kenmore, GE and Maytag,  I hope my Speed Queens will be the last washer and dryer I'll ever need.  I am happy to say they do make them like they used to.  And they still make good products in the USA.
