Product review (1 stars): Wash your clothes in grease!
I got the SQ AWN 542 delivered yesterday. The inside drum (where you put the clothes) is covered in black grease. (You won't see it, but if you run a paper towel in the bin, you'll see it easily.) The dealer where I bought it sent out another one today. Same problem. The delivery guy wrecked 2 white towels trying to get rid of the grease. Gave up. I called SQ headquarters. Wow. They are rude. They gave me 3 names of service people to call. None of them would service the machine (since I didn't buy it there). The place where I bought it won't service it either. SQ rep told me to clean the machine myself (at my expense) or return it. The dealer won't take it back. SQ is NOT helpful and not willing to stand behind their product. The dealer said he'd send me a 3rd machine. (Do you have 3 days to devote to waiting for a washing machine? I don't.) All I wanted was a washing machine. Sorry, but I spent more than $900 (with tax) and all I have is a headache. I have wasted most of 2 days and still can't do the laundry. Does it work? Don't know. I'm not willing to wash my clothes in grease.
