1 speed

If I'm not mistaken, this is a one speed washer, no low speed for delicates. This would mean an absolute no-no for me!

this is a Raytheon machine.....some were so-so performers...but very prone to belt chewing and seal failure.....

and if it has the self clean rimflo design, a drawback was it throwing water back on the load during spinout....

This one is just after the useless rim filter models.  They dropped the recirculating filter but kept the fill flume inside the filter rim so the spray rinse was only effective at keeping the unused filter rim clean, none of the spray actually got to the clothes.  I pronounced more than a couple of these dead for seal failures and stopped bringing them home.

80s SQ and Amana Washers

Mediocre washers, its like a Maytag dependable that makes more noise and is less reliable and harder to do major repairs on.
