I personally like the wash action better in the Whirlpool commercial and the Maytag. The GE agitation doesn't move like the Whirlpool or Maytag machines do in their commercial units
GE behavior
I expected GE to change their agitation behavior, especially on the deep clean cycle. Maybe they'd learn a thing or 2 from Whirlpool.

Update
So after a lengthy time of thinking and looking and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, I bought a pair of Speed Queens this morning. (TC5003 and DC5003). I was comparing 4 dealers and at least 3 product options and then ran into availability and delivery issues and basically ran out of time. I also needed a dishwasher and refrigerator, so I punted on those and bought simple GE products in black.
I'm happy to have this 'adventure' behind me.
Thanks to all for their opinions and comments.

Congrats Lawrence!
Co gratulations Lawrence. You chose wisely. I had a speed Queen AWN 432 from 2013 till I moved in 2020 and never a problem with it. Hopefully that control board will last

I have an older Whirlpool belt driven top load washer, it’s very loud on the spin cycle but it otherwise works fine. Mine is the WTW4900BW0 model. Members in the community have told me that I likely have a bearing issue, but I’m not fixing it as it’s an older machine.
Mine is also the washplate model and it’s a low water high efficiency washer, mine literally says it’s a low water washer under the lid. The newer models don’t have that as far as I can tell.
If it stops working, I’ll just buy a new machine.

Very
nice. Congrats. Lawrence, to potentially head off a something that could go "sideways". You might want to refrain from any chemicals on a shelf above your new machines.

Just make sure you don't turn the right dryer knob counterclockwise, I've read that can mess up the timer.

I’m in the same boat, my washer has been acting up lately, so I have to research new ones. I was set to bite the bullet on a Speed Queen TC5, but I ran across a Facebook group called “Speed Queen, Rinse and Regret.” The group is chock full of unhappy Speed Queen owners. Some of them recommended the Maytag MVWP586GW commercial grade, but I’ve read about them having issues. I’m tempted to just buy another cheap one, like my current Kenmore/Whirlpool, but they really stink compared to what used to be available. Kinda sad.

My brother's Maytag bit the dust and it's not even five years old. I already recommended them a TC5 or a used direct drive Whirlpool but it sounds like they're looking to upgrade to a LG front loader. I really don't see how you can go wrong with the SQ as I think that's the last good top loader on the market today because it works like old school.
It's a front loader and that gets my big vote over anything else!! Generally I've come to loathe top loaders. Nothing beats an old school belt drive Whirlpool product.
