Product review (5 stars): Fantastic Washing Machine
This is brilliant washing machine!  It does NOT beep, burp, hem, haw --all it does is clean clothes fantastically, efficiently, and quickly.  No fuss.  It does not have a computer with blinking lights; it does not have a lid-lock (I can open whenever I want and it does not start a cycle over).  It does not twist clothes so tightly you have to unwind each garment before washing.  It does not tear micro-holes in clothes.  It does not have a foul, musty smell.  Again, a brilliantly simple washing machine.

I want to thank Amazon--because even though I did not buy my Speed Queen through them, their reviews really helped me find what I was looking for.  I also did not spend less at my local store---the price was spot-on with Amazon's prices.

So, what did I give up for my Speed Queen AWN432S?  I threw out a Kenmore Top-Loading High Efficiency Washer (Model 2130)---can I say that here?  It was three years old and had multiple service calls.  I was sick of wasting money on a machine that couldn't do a simple job.
