Product review (5 stars): Could NOT be happier!
I bought this from a local appliance store for about the same price delivered.  I would have no problem buying it through Amazon.  I live in a small town and wanted to support my local business.

I've been wanting to get a Speed Queen for a while now.  The quality of washing machines has PLUNGED due to what I view as misguided government interference, Chinese manufacturing techniques, and consumers willing to buy low quality because it's blinged out and shiny.  The plastics on these new washers is thinner and less durable than the fabric softener bottle that I will throw away when it's empty.  It's a race to the bottom.  No one wins in a race to the bottom.

We went through a few of the new style HE washers, returning them after leaks, mold, and very long run times that we just couldn't take anymore.  I don't understand how saving $0.003 in water is justified by running the machine 4x longer.  I ran the numbers based on what I pay for water in my area, the payback on a front loader or *new style top loader* is 30 years, on something that today will not last longer than 5 years.  It doesn't make sense.

Enter our hero, Speed Queen (Alliance who make them) has been to court over keeping their design legal.  They are fighting the good fight.  When I set ours off "Eco" (which we always do) the water fills all the way to the top on extra large.  I believe with the newer units (we got ours in April of 2016) the low fill concerns are now resolved due to the court decision in favor of Alliance

The only issue I had was with my wife.  She didn't like the look.  I finally convinced her, we shouldn't care that it's not "stainless steel".  We've had it for a month in our laundry room and it fits in just fine!

We've been running it for a month, family of 4 and 2 dogs.  Very active family.  Our clothes have not been this clean in 15 years.  Everything comes out clean.  The run time on a typical load is 30 minutes!!  The electronic controls are intuitive for both me and my wife.  We didn't read the directions but were able to navigate the settings intuitively.  When I hear a relay cycle I can tell it's a commercial-grade relay.  Spins are always quiet and balanced.  Dry times are down because the spin cycle is fast and gets a lot of water out.

I've observed the wash cycle.  The agitator has a 210^ sweep.  The clothes turn over very quickly even in very large loads, meaning you should see them getting drawn towards the bottom for more agitation.  This is important.  The tub incrementally scrolls too to ensure everything gets consistent agitation.

I think the tub is 3.3 cu ft.  I think it's gigantic.  We do comforters and bedding in it without issue.

I can't think of any cons.  Some don't like that the lid switch shuts everything off when you open it.  I can understand the safety feature.  It's easily bypassed though.

We are really happy with this washer.  It just works, 100% of the time.  It's fast.  No complaints from anyone who uses it.  One less thing to worry about.  And for me, it's a consumer choice I'm glad I still have the freedom to make.
