Product review (5 stars): SPEED QUEEN IS THE BEST !!!
Purchased this washer and the matching dryer from our local dealer in Denver. We purchased this set after we tried out one of those "new technology HE" top loading machines. I can't believe they are even allowed to sell them because it didn't clean any of the clothes we tried out in one of those before returning them to Best Buy. We researched the agitator types and we found out about Speen Queens through a friend. We LOVE this set! Gets the job done in a shorter amount of time. Yes, it may use a little more water but that is what is NEEDED to clean dirty clothes and get them fresh again! We had them installed and I was worried from other reviews that the inside of the washer would have a oily residue. It didn't at all. The only cons I can think of with the washer: Its not super quiet, but its downstairs and we don't really hear it upstairs. The beep to let me know the cycle is done isn't loud enough if I have the t.v. on or music. I don't like that when you first put in the detergent you can't have the cycle started with the water running at the same time as my last washer was able to do. I have to put in soap, turn on the cycle with the lid down and let it run a little to get soap wet, then I lift lid up and add clothes. The dryer does a great job just like its supposed to...no complaints there.
