I like to watch my front-load washers work. My new Speed Queen FF7 is kind of neat/odd. There's no water visibly pouring in - maybe I'm missing it? - but the clothes get wet and clean anyway. Coming from my old top-loader, this thing is amazing! 1. Clothes come out noticeably softer. 2. There's...

I'm strongly considering getting a front-loading washer again. The contenders are a (used?) Speed Queen or a LG MW4000HWA. I'd appreciate hearing from real-life owners: how are the SQ front loaders for cleaning performance?

I have a 2017-era Speed Queen AWN432 top-loader. It's been mostly a good machine, but . . . 1. Clothes are getting stained over time. I don't remember that happening with my front-loader. If food falls on a shirt, there's a shadow of a stain left after washing. 2. Towels smell *bad*. This is...

My mother-in-law's Kenmore washer may have finally died. When it tries to agitate it just makes a horrible noise. The agitator doesn't move. We bypassed a broken lid lock about six months ago. The water fill/pump out still works. It's been a good washer for 19 years! She doesn't sound like...

Top load washers seem to have made a comeback! Back in 2017 I was in the market for a new washer. There were almost no top loaders available in Home Depot, you had to hunt to find them, and the options weren't great. (The Roper TL with agitator probably would probably have been fine.) I...

I bought a Speed Queen AWN432 about three years ago. It's been mostly fantastic, especially since we did the water level adjustment. But I've been a little insecure about the cleaning quality on the Speed Queen. The wash cycles seem awfully fast. I accidentally used one of The Good Towels to...

Our new Speed Queen top load, mechanical controls washer came in late last week. Laundry comes out so much cleaner than our old front-load washer! These things have earned their cult following. The washer holds more than the rated capacity suggests. A California king sheet set is no problem...

A Speed Queen top-loader is in my near future! Woohoo! I'm strongly leaning towards mechanical controls. I like the simple operation. The electronic controls offer a few more cycle options, but nothing I particularly want. However, the Speed Queen site STRONGLY encourages buyers to choose...
