Product review (5 stars): I like to buy quality but I was skeptical when I ...
This washer delivers EVERYTHING "Made in the USA" used to mean.  It's the washer you may never have to replace and IF it breaks down, you'll want to fix it.  I like to buy quality but I was skeptical when I bought one for my own home.  I'm a believer now!  Since then, I've bought three more for three of the foster care homes where I work and none have failed in any way.
What I like most:
It's heavy!  You know you're buying steel not plastic.
It cleans clothes exceptionally well
It's simple.  I know if I have to replace a part it will A.) be available and B.) not cost more then the machine did new
Durability and longevity reduce environmental abuse in our "disposable culture"
and my personal favorite: It's set from the factory to only fill the tub half full of water per government regulations (2009 Department of Energy limited water use for top load washers - look it up).  But if you open up the control cover and you're willing to void your warranty (which you don't need anyway because these machines are so durable) you can adjust the set screw to fill the tank fuller.  More water = more clothes per load and cleaner clothes.  I highly doubt the transmission was not engineered to handle a "fuller load".
I'll be buying and recommending these washers for as long as Speed Queen keeps building them!
