The reason might be commission incentives. When I sold for Sears, they were so proud to say and so-ans-so mfr. is offering an extra 1.5% this week if you sell.... PIGS! Anyway the only rreason I can think of for dissuading you is that the perceived life expetancy for the company may not be there! Actually I like them a lot too. |

I am not sure how many of you know this or not but the high end Maytag top loading agitator washers are also exactly like the Speed Queens mechanicaly speaking.When Raytheon owned Amana and Speed Queen,they had a line of Speed Queen washers roll out with Amana's name on them.As time went on and Goodman bought Amana from Raytheon,They left Speed Queen and Caloric on the table.They had no interest in either of those companies because they themselves were a major commercial/residential air conditioning corporation.Speed Queen was purchased by Alliance which also owns a commercial laundry company named Huebsch.Caloric went bankrupt and died on the table. Now,Maytag owns Amana and somehow the Amana,Maytag,Speed Queen and Huebsch top loading domestic/commercial washers and dryers are exactly the same.The only difference besides style is the Lower end model Maytags have a pollymer tub instead of porcelan and the high end Maytag dryers do not have the stainless steel drum. |

I have had my Raytheon/Amana for 7 years and have never had a problem with it. I'll attach a few photos of it. |

OY...the circle-fill of the early-90's SQ coin-ops is much more entertaining! Fills the tub quite fast as well from what I've seen. |
