Product review (5 stars): Speed Queen 543 amazing machine
I am in love with this machine. Like others here I did a lot of research prior to purchase. My whites are blazing white, my towels are fluffier and softer. My clothes smell amazing. I am doing nothing different other than the machine, same detergent same sorting. My opinion is it is because of the amount of water used in the wash and rinse and the agitation. I had a Whirlpool Cabrio that stopped agitating and spinning after 18 months of use. My whites were dingy from that machine, I hated it. This machine is awesome. As for the drum being dirty, it tells you to wash it first in the directions. I used all purpose cleaner and paper towels wiped it down until the paper towels were clean and did a load of bath towels first. Anytime you have stainless steel you will have that issue. I highly recommend this machine Speed Queen 542.
