Sure, maintenance issues are a deal-breaker but ... If you do laundry for just one or two people, this could do a week's wash all at once. Do they have a four-way dryer too? :-)

Cycle choices > What did you think of the heavy duty cycle? It works well! I've been using it for everything except whites so far. The long, high-speed final spin is great for getting water out of clothes. > I could sit there for hours just watching the washer It's soothing, isn't it? Just...

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?

> Do they smell when dry, or only after they’ve been used once or twice? They smell immediately after washing, and continuously afterwards. I just tried the "Persil Proclean + many rinses" approach. The towels smell okay instead of bad. That's an improvement! I'll plan on an extra spray rinse...

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...

I love those controls I love the simplicity of the controls on that Hotpoint!

It works again! Others did the investigation/repair, but it was evidently super easy. You just tip the washer back and everything is *right there* underneath. It turned out to be a (rubber?) coupler between the motor and transmission. Repair cost was less than $10. The mother-in-law is happy...

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...

Congratulations Congratulations. It's a beautiful machine!

Top loaders for the win! The Olympia, WA Home Depot is now basically ALL top-loaders. There's literally a couple of front-loaders tucked as far from the main aisle as possible. Even better: real water level selectors are showing up again *with full-color marketing copy*! We're almost back to...

I'll join in AWN432, bought in (I think) 2017. No hiccups, still going strong.

Hooray! Congratulations on a successful fix!

1950s versus 1970s Dishwashers weren't common in the 1950s?! But all the commercials! The American National Exposition! . . . I believed the lies! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_National_Exhibition

Neat, but weird The world has gotten weird. People can't count on having space or hookups for a dishwasher, which has been a staple of U.S. life since since the 1950s. But we have the technology to make a tiny countertop dishwasher that can also steam-clean baby bottles and toys. Cool find...

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...

FL, mostly We had a front-load washer for almost 15 years. We bought a Speed Queen top-loader (SQ TL) right before SQ changed their designs. The front loader: * cleaned better * used much less laundry soap * handled big/bulky items better We have more persistent shirt stains with the SQ than...

Retro nostalgia > The Filter Flo was a creature from a different era. Can we PLEASE go back? :- )

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...
