Product review (5 stars): So glad I did
Purchased this washer in October 2016 after reading these reviews and another Maytag failure.  Was going to buy the new, big LG, but flimsy, plastic parts made me hesitate.  So glad I did!  The SQ is a throwback but a good one!  Don't let the smaller capacity dissuade you.  Shorter wash times (30 mins) and more effective washing performance are superior to any other brand, and we have owned many.  Immediately noticed the missing mildew smell, to which I had become nose blind.  Also, using regular, non HD detergent saves money.  Very Happy!
