I used to appreciate Speed Queen's designs, particularly their mention of having an all-metal gear transmission for ruggedness and durability.
I also was impressed by their use in commercial laundromats, where breakdowns would cost the owners time and money. - so they were made to handle abuse by customers.
But was that all just marketing talk?
I suggested SQ to a few friends, who thanked me and got SQ's - the older models. - so far, so good.
But that contraption shown here, with its "busy" panel of computerized controls turns my stomach.
