Product review (5 stars): Why This Top Loader Beats Every Front Loader on the Market
Front loading washers have been popular for years now, and they simply make no sense. It's a well-documented fact (as in: there are class action law suits to prove it) that front loaders, when closed after use, grow mold. If you've had a front loader, you know it grows mold. They are mold growing machines.

It's also established that if a front loader starts to fill with water, there's no way to open it without draining the water and soap. The deal with front loaders is that they simply solved a "problem" that didn't exist: top loaders like this one were never a problem!

This speed queen washer is simple and does the job, over and over, of washing clothes. It's the most dependable brand on the market. When the wash is done, you can leave the lid up and let it dry out. So no mold. And as the water is filling, you can add soap to the water to get a nice soapy mixture BEFORE adding the clothes. And if you forget to put something in the load, you can always add it later. Furthermore, adding the clothes does not mean bending over, because it's a top loader. Thank you very much top-loader, you made my day.

Enough with the front loaders. This washer is pound for pound twice the deal of any overpriced front loader. Ask any wash machine repair man and he'll tell you the same thing: "Get a Speed Queen."
