SQ TC5 I hope the TC5 continues to be available to the general public. However, if they only make this transmission models for commercial use, they may not be available for consumer purchase. I was unable to purchase a LWN model locally as I was told the SQ stores near me were only authorized...

SQ TC5000 Because of new energy regulations, it is my understanding the TC5000 won't be produced after the end of this year. If you want to get one, you may want to get one while you can toward the end of this year. SQ came out with a updated TR series models, so it looks like they are going...

Top Loaders In my opinion, the best top loaders to look at are the Speed Queen TC5000 with silver control panel (not the TR series with the black control panel) and the Maytag mvwp575gw(independent appliance retailers w/ 5 year parts and labor warranty) or mvwp576kw (Lowes with 1 year parts and...

Laundry Alternatives Niagara and Spin Dryer Wish someone could figure out a way to film the wash action of the Niagara. I am really interested in this washer for my next purchase when needed. I also appreciated the video Thomas posted of the Ninja spin dryer. Looks like a winning...

Maytag mvwp575gw for Me I purchased my Maytag mvwp575gw for $750 almost two years ago, which included free delivery and the 5-year parts and labor warranty. I could almost buy two of them for what it would cost me to buy ONE TC5000 plus that extended warranty (6 years coverage?). I really am...

Dual Action Agitator As someone who has owned a dual action agitator Whirlpool model for fifteen years and then this Maytag for almost two years, I would agree that a dual action agitator model helps with bigger loads and there is less wear and tear. It helps move the items (especially larger...

DADoES, Yes, the agitub does seem like a much simpler and more reliable design. The design is the difference between a dual agitator where not only the tub and agitator move separate but so does the top and bottom of the agitator (Maytag mvwp575gw or Maytag mvwp576kw) versus a tub and agitator...

DADoES "I have not seen any such machines, All the GEs we are seeing have a belt." It surprised me that this person didn't know about the GE GTW725BSNWS (that is the correct model number) even if he had not seen them in his shop. Someone reading that could get the impression that any model...

The SQ has a belt too??? That's great! If you are not seeing the ones I am thinking of, maybe they aren't having problems. It is difficult to see the small details, but I think this is the GE model with dual agitator I was referring to. It is referred to as a direct drive even by the...

mvwp576kw looks to be Lowe's exclusive... Model mvwp576kw looks to be a Lowe's exclusive. In combing through the info on Lowe's site, it looks like it has an end-of-cycle timer and a ten-year limited warranty instead of the five year parts and labor. Year 1 looks like a parts and labor...

Speedqueen, in a nutshell... Please go back and read my posts. The SpeedQueen TC5 would be my overall first choice. I do think it will last longer with fewer repairs (probably just a belt) than the Maytag 575. I think it is possible it will last 25 years for some folks, but I believe the...

Small correction... I should have used the term posters and not reviewer. There are several regulars who offer good advice, but I wonder how much they feel compelled to say and what is left out for fear of repercussions whether they review, sell, or repair these products for a living. Anyway...

John, fair point. This reviewer seems pretty unbiased in his comments, and I've not seen any other company take action. While something may be legal, there is a difference between exercising your rights versus morality. It is the difference between a company that has good leadership and...

You're suggesting the SQ is a family heirloom... The old ones may have lasted 25 years, but that would be doing 420 loads a year or 8 or 9 loads a week. I think that is possible BUT so could the old Maytags. If the NEW ones with electronics can do that, that would be great. It would really...

I don't they will last five times longer... Your post suggests that the SQ TC5 will last FIVE times loner than what even SQ states. That does not seem credible. The real average user will get no more than fifteen maybe twenty years out of this TC5 washer. The little old lady, single guy, or...

Cycles and Electronics I read the SQ suggested life cycle is 10,500. I have no doubt the older SQ will outlast the newer vmw, but the AWN432 and older mechanical models are NO longer available for sale. I believe that most older SQ properly used probably reach that number but not exceed it...

No issues... I have not had any issues with mine. Although I think the SQ TC5 has the overall edge if budget is not a factor, the MT575 is a hidden gem among the other top load residential washers that are available to most of us. The extra cost is more than justified when compared to other...

About the MAT20MNAWW I don't think this model has the dual-action agitator or the fabric softener dispenser. A Downy ball might work. I don't use fabric softener anyway. Over time, it seems like it can build up in hidden areas.

P.S. My post is not directed at any one person. I am just frustrated. As a single parent, it has been a real struggle and expense to fix/replace these disposable items. It's like a snowball going down hill. When is someone going to wake up and see the waste in our landfills, chemicals in...

For the average consumer... The SQ is only repairable past 15 years maybe 20 years to those who have access to get the parts for cost and can do the work themselves. The average consumer does not have access to parts for cost nor can they afford someone to do the work for them where the cost...
