Product review (5 stars): 3.3 cu ft. Speed Queen Top Load Washer
As written previously by others, this is a GREAT washing machine. It is quieter than Kenmore, Whirlpool, and GE, Our First Whirlpool (Kenmore) lasted over 20 years and got my dirty work clothes clean in one cycle. It is still a good machine if we could find an old-fashioned timer.
The GE was noisy and didn't clean very well. And lastly, our last Whirlpool only managed to work 2 years and did not clean very well. My work clothes had to be washed 2-3 times before they would come out clean.
The Speed Queen is fairly quiet and does a wonderful job of cleaning even the dirtiest of laundry. I work on our heavy equipment from time to time in the field which gets me and my clothing quite dirty with greasy oily grimy dirt which is hard to clean. One trip through the heavy duty cycle of the Speed Queen (not 2 but 3 pairs of Levi jeans per wash) and they come out clean!
This machine is built pretty well. The cabinet is a little thin, but then I think most manufacturers are doing this. The basic machine is solid. It weighs 195 lbs compared to 160 lbs for the Whirlpool. It has a MECHANICAL timer, so you can select the wash that you want. It has Wash Temperature, Load Size, even an extra rinse should you get carried away with the detergent. It must somehow self-center on the spin cycles, as it doesn't make our mobile home shake from stem to stern like the other clothes washers.
So far, the wife loves it and that is about as good as it gets!

My bride informs me that she washed 4 pairs of my dirtiest jeans in one cycle (w. extra rinse) and they all came out clean, and no 'ring around the washtub'!
