Product review (5 stars): Best Washer on the Market
This is the best residential clothes washer available today. If you are looking for a high quality made in USA washer then this is it, don't waste time looking at others. We had a Maytag for 22 years, washed clothes great, but rotted out, looked and asked around, researched, and purchased this model about 6 months ago and love it. The speed queen is similar to the old Maytags, but larger and nicer. I got the old style, simple, can control the cycle easy, and a little less expensive. It has a large basin, which doesn't fill up all the way automatically, but if you turn and hold the reset button you can fill it up 2-3 inches higher and wash some big stuff or loads. For most loads the maximum fill is plenty of water. And, there is a switch for extra rinse, which is cool. So this thing can potentially use a lot of water, but that is good when needing to wash large bed covers and other large items.

If you read comments on this site and others, the biggest complaint about most washers out there is too little water and the clothes do no come out clean, many commenters reminiscence about their old Maytag and how well it cleaned. This Speed Queen is better than the old Maytags, and the old Maytags were better than almost any of the new washers out there today, so just buy this and enjoy super clean clothes.
