Admiral or Speed Queen

Just got my new SQ dryer

Yep, the old SQ HA7009 gas dryer went to the curb after 26 years of faithful service. Ordered a new SQ ADG4BRGS111TW01 and it came to the house on 10/28/10 installed and ready to go. Haven't done any laundry yet but that will happen either tomorrow - definitely on Monday. I still have yet to wipe out the drum with a detergent and cloth to get the shipping dust out (which I can't see)! I turned it on just to see if it got hot and it sure does! Can't wait to give it the first workout!

SQ vs WP

I've had my hands in quite a few DD washers and yes, they are very very easy to service. They're also quite reliable. Nevertheless, I'd vote for the Speed Queen.

The Speed Queen is an all around higher-quality product. Where I am now, there's a new Roper set (Whirlpool Direct Drive) and the cabinets are super thin and flimsy. The mechanism isn't too loud, but the cabinets rattle and vibrate loud enough to be heard throughout the building. I'd pay the extra money just for the piece and quiet.

Both are proven designs, but the SQ is the winner in my book.
