Tell me about my top load Speed Queen washer: AWS45NW

[pliney]

I just brought home a used top load Speed Queen washer AWS45NW I found on Marketplace for $50. I would have been happy with anything that worked for that price after 5 days of laundry had piled up after my Maytag stopped spinning. I hadn't heard of Speed Queens before seeing this one for sale, but I've come to learn that Speed Queen is maybe a solid brand. The new ones sound like they are really sturdy with a good warranty.
I'm wondering if, even if this one is older, I can hope it still has a good bit of life in it yet. Does anyone know approximately how old this model is?
How have top load Speed Queens worked out for you all?
So far, I'm already impressed: the first load was super quick, the clothes seem really "dry," and they seemed clean. Did I hit the lottery with this find?

Enjoy your find/purchase!  Speed Queen's roots go back to 1908, it isn't a new brand.

New to you 2007 Speed Queen

I’m calling the 2007 because it’s not likely it went into use until about 2007

Sounds like you got a great deal this machine will clean clothes as well or better than the Maytag. It will spin them dryer and rinse them better

Hopefully you’ll get a lot of good use out of it,

John
