Product review (5 stars): I sound like a brain washed groupie
I sound like a brain washed groupie.  This is without a doubt the best consumer purchase I have ever made.  I bought a set for my Aunt seven years ago.  She has had no problems with them.  It was time to replace my fancy European Bosch washer that was DOA.  I didn't hesitate.  Speed Queen, the basic no frills model.  Stainless steel tub.  Quiet agitation.  Quick cycle.  Hot water when desired.  No mold.  No smell.  No noise.  Just clean clothes without any fuss.  It's so refreshing to actually get what you wanted when you pay your hard earned money.  I'm waiting for the dryer to die so I can replace it with a Speed Queen.  While you can buy one through Amazon, do a search and there will be a mom and pop local appliance store that sells them, too.
