Product review (5 stars): I did my Homework and it paid off!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU...LOVE MY SPEEDQUEEN W&D...I was in for a new set and after hearing/reading many horror stories of the HE Front and Top Loads I just knew that is not where I wanted to go.  I just wanted a good set that didn't take a hour or more to run one load of wash, prison me from opening the lid and my clothes coming out smelling of mold.  when you hear how people have to rerun a load twice for their clothes after not being clean,  then please tell me where is the High Eff...for that just went out the door.  I just want to wash a load of clothes, be clean and dry them with out all the bells and whistles.  I wasn't one of those jumping to get a Front Loader when they came out, I was still happy with the set I had.  Just as of recent mine were needing replaced I had heard those who had the HE and didn't like them and those who wouldn't admit they didn't like them. Would you want to explain to your spouse you had to buy another set for you just dumped a ton of money in to this Front/Top loader that you just had to have and now hate them.  Well for those who like me are speeding weeks of reviewing, I can tell you I am so glad I cancelled my set at Sears and went with the Speed Queen.  I am happy with them inside and out!  I hope in 20 plus years I still have them...loving life in PA!
