Product review (4 stars): my friend has one I envy her I'm stuck with a Bosch
Ok, I read these awesome reviews.  First of all, thank you Amazon for hsving this review board.
I am hoping they are all for real.  I bought a new house with a fancy Bosch w/d.  My girlfriend bought
this top loading Speed Queen.  All I do is have problems every third wash.  "check tap," comes on and the lid locks.  Or, the lid locks and there is a ton of soap in the glass door still, and the clothes are spun..........yes, spun really well with the suds still in them.  And then, I can't figure out how to just rinse again and drain QUICKLY.  So, I have to run the whole thing over again without any detergent in it and keep my fingers crossed.  I hate hate hate these machines.  And I am so envious of my friend and her ability to control her washer and get the hell out of the house !!!!!

May I say that I hate that the government is controlling all of these things.  The government is an organization that has proven again and again that they have great ideas............thought up by highly paid people, and absolutly no FOLLOW THROUGH.  Some of the worst ideas, wasteful ideas, expensive ideas, ridiculous ideas, have been thought up and regulated by the government.  Low flow toilets anyone?  In my house, we flush at least 4 times to get the bowl clean.  Is this energy efficient enough for you?  I won't go on.  My husband has a medical practice and I cannot tell you the expense he has to go through to become "regulation approved"..................and half of these bright environmental "code enforcements" are costing his patients a ton of money, because he has to pass them on if he wants to make his payroll and pay the employees.  But most people don't know that.  Like one of the other reviewers said....................NO, I DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING MY WASH by computer, thank you very much,,,,,,, This is just the beginning, I think it's going to get worse.  I better get the Speed Queen before the government enforces them, too, and gives them the "technology lobotomy."
