Product review (5 stars): Speed Queen Quality Is The Best...Made in USA!!!!!
This Speed Queen washer works great!!!  It has a stainless steel drum with old fashioned dial controls (the less electronic stuff on a washing machine the less will go wrong).  It is a high efficiency machine (meaning less water usage); however, you can set the water manually by selecting a large load size to insure extra dirty clothes are cleaned well.  The annoying thing that most other folks who purchased this machine have noted is that water flow to the tub will shut off when you lift the lid.  There's no spinning or agitation going on so I don't understand why they would design it so that the tub won't fill with the lid up.  I bought Speed Queen because they are built well and last a long time.  My sister has one that is still going strong after 30 years of use.
