My family just got this today, it’s almost brand new it’s nearly a year old and still has 4 years left on the warranty. It was a marketplace find, the owner bought this machine a year ish ago and the dryer they already had just went recently so they decided to buy a matching Maytag set. Gross. To each is own….
Anyways this beautiful machine is now in our hands for a very solid price. To be clear this is my parents machine, not something I recommended. I am not pleased with the new wash action, and it simply makes no sense to me because the agitator really doesn’t turn aggressively enough to clean. The original agitation the SQ always had for decades was absolutely aggressive and deeply cleansed fabric. Why would you switch out a dime for a penny Speed Queen? Material wise it’s certainly top notch and will always be a much better candidate than the Cabrio it was just replaced with. I HATED THAT WASHER! I was so happy when I got the text that the motor gearing was bad, and wasn’t worth fixing.
Overall I really like it, and that’s saying a lot because it’s got a lid lock and is mostly electronic but still isn’t by any means a HE machine, which is why my parents got it and they really like it. I think the wash action is good for lightly soiled clothing, but I’d really have to test it out. Let me know you’re thoughts on the new motor and wash system.
