Product review (5 stars): Exactly what I had hoped it would be.
After many years of dependable service from Maytag washers we had previously, I searched for a supplier that could match that record.  Maytag does not offer the quality it had in the past, but it appears Speed Queen does.  The quality is noteworthy, and I expect the washer to be capable of many years of good service.  This is not a washers with lots of bells and whistles, but just a very straight forward functional unit.  So far, we haven't found anything to complain about.  There are plenty of washing options available through the legacy dial/timer system, and this is part of the source of reliability.  If you are looking for a washer with a traditional agitator, normal water levels and control, and good construction this is a very good washer.
