Speed Queen washers

Tired of working on this POS samsung washer i bought 5 years ago. Ready to just get something new and reliable. Thinking of pulling the trigger on a Speed queen. Reviews are mixed. Anybody have one, and what is your thoughts?

I have one. No complaints at all. Highly recommend.

They are all the rave on here and don't think you will go wrong with one.
But you are going from like the shittiest to the best. There are some others in between that are decent as well.

We got one about 8 months ago. The only complaint my wife has is it holds a little less than our past top load washers. Other than that, it's great. Washes a load in no time and everything comes out clean.

Another option is to buy a refurbished direct drive Whirlpool/Kenmore/Maytag washer made before 2009. They are essentially commercial-grade machines that can be maintained and repaired with simple hand tools and very little time. Had my Whirlpool washer since 2005, just put a new 6-pad heavy-duty clutch, neutral drain assembly, water valve, new drain pump, and a few seals and it works better than new and cost about $200 in parts and about 2 hours of time. Think there are a few shops that will sell units they've refurbished with a 1-year warranty that have been upgraded with the same parts mine now has. The made these direct-drive washers for over 30 years with almost no changes in the mechanical drive system, they are solid and I hope mine will go another 19 years without repairs. The matching 29" dryer has yet to need any maintenance or repair though I picked up an OEM service kit for $40 that has a new belt, rollers, and tensioner assembly. It's also incredibly easy to service and maintain with basic tools, I just take the front panel off every few years to vacuum out some lint and clean the exhaust duct every year and that seems to prevent just about all issues from occuring in the first place.

People that give a speed queen a bad review would also give a bad review on a sledge hammer.

We bought a TC5 about 2 months ago. Absolutely fantastic. Wish I would have bought one sooner.

They make great products. As for buying, Stanton’s, ask for Kathy. Best to make an appointment.

My mother and sister purchased this GE model at lowes. It has a huge basket for large loads and has worked flawlessly for both of them. When my smaller capacity washer dies, I am buying this GE model as well.

I've been preaching speed queen for 15 years on here.
Is the best by far.
Speed Queen washers are basically 1990s maytags with slightly better parts. They rarely break and when they do repairs are often cheap. I've never seen a speed queen be totalled due to mechanical failure.
.a dryer is a dryer there is little difference between dryers but in terms of washers speed queens are built to last.
VMW washers are almost disposable (whirlpool, kenmore, Amana)
