I will chime in here and say that I would go with a SQ top loader if I had the extra $$
My 50 year old Maytag A606 died and all I want is a machine that actually fills with water, has an agitator, doesnt shred my clothes and also does not take an hour to wash a load.

Speed Queen top load here. I bought it last year when the Kenmore caught on fire. I think it's a good washer, time will tell how it holds up. It's definitely the last of the old school wash system. I'm glad I bought it when I did, and as some members have said, it isn't cheap. I think that for the money paid it could hold more clothes, that's just my honest humble opinion.

I would be getting Speed Queens definitely.
They'll be Front Loaders.
And if I need a Compact Front Loading Set, then I'll be getting LG's.

I'll know in a few years
Bought two new washing machines just a couple of months ago. Since I like a top loader and a front loader I got one of both.
I ended up with a Speed Queen TL and the TOTL Samsung Addwash (Sears had one with a dented top for $499, otherwise I'd probably have ended up with something else). The SQ is a digital control one, I bought it from a local dealer that is closing the sales portion and only doing repair work so it was cheaper to buy the digital one.
We generate a lot of laundry. We killed a GE front loader in 8 years and a Haier top loader in 4.
I'll be curious to see how this plays out. One thing I'll say is the Addwash has the smoothest spin cycle of any consumer front loader I've used which might help with bearing wear and life.
So the longevity test is in play right now. My money is on the SQ. It is less flashy and more straightforward, this usually plays out well.
I'm not worried about digital controls my parents have a digital control top loading Amana from when Circuit City stopped carrying appliances and it's still humming along just fine 16 years later.
The Samsung is all gimmicky. It does wash extremely well though.
