I get the print edition of Consumer Reports, which I will be ending as soon as I remember to call and cancel the auto-renewal. I may subscribe to the online CR after that but most of the discussion ends up here so it's unlikely that I'd use it much anyway.
I have an '04 Speed Queen with Boosted Hot temp selection and love it. For my whites, my son's work clothes, etc. it's a wonderful cleaner.
I'm glad to see SQ creeping up in the ratings, capacity will always get a knock from CR (and other "review" sites) but the design was/is created for commercial use and thus wouldn't be easily changed just to raise capacity without starting back at square one.
On the capacity subject, CR mentions in it's comments that the new Samsung holds 28 pounds of laundry and the Kenmore Elite (LG built) holds 25 lbs. The Samsung washer and dryer earned top ratings overall.
