Product review (5 stars): Save up if you have to; and buy this washer!
This is hands down the best washing my machine I have ever owned. After going through 2 washing machines in under 5 years, I was looking for something that would actually wash my family of 5's clothes. After speaking to yet another repairman, we asked what washers they DON'T get calls on. Each one said Speed Queen. After 1 year we are thrilled with how clean out clothes are, how we have not ruined entire loads of clothes due to some malfunction. A part of the machine broke. They came out looked at it and fixed it - FOR FREE. Yes, you read that right - FREE. They said the part should not have broken and was 100 % covered. I will never go back. Clean clothes, excellent customer service and a warranty that actually delivers; I would recommend paying the extra money. It  will save you in the long run!
