Product review (5 stars): Best Washing machine HANDS DOWN!!!
I bought my machine through a local mom and pop store since you can't buy these from box stores (except Amazon which is expected).  The delivery and install was quick and easy.  I previously had a Top loading energy star (non HE) Fisher and Paykel washing machine that lasted for ~17 yrs but finally gave up.  I replaced it with a "highly rated on consumer reports HE Kenmore unit" which preceeded to ruin my clothes, not wash them, and barely get them wet for a few weeks, even after a service call to ensure it wasn't broken.  Back to the outlet with that junk, then I tried a Kenmore agitator unit that dumped water all over my floor the first time I tried to run it.  Then I got smart and ordered a Speed Queen from the local dealer.  It was backordered but fortunately I only had to wait about a week for it to come in.

Holy smokes this thing is FAST, it WORKS great, makes clothes CLEAN and good smelling, and fills up with water FAST.  I have a well and it fills so quickly that the water pressure in the house drops...no problem, its filled in less than 5 minutes and off washing by then!  This is by far the gold standard by which all washers should be measured.

How did consumer reports rate the other machine at a 74 and this at a 29?  Come on...they have a completely backward.  I can wash MORE clothes FASTER than ANY HE unit...the cost savings of HE is bogus because you need to wash everything twice and it still isn't clean!

Well built, AMERICAN MADE, simple, WORKS WELL.  You will NOT regret a Speed Queen if you have pets, children, have a job where you get dirty, or even just want a simple machine...
