a little correction....Whirlpool bought Maytag not Speed Queen
for a top load HE, I would go with the NEW Maytag Bravos, but you may want to wait, the new washer has been "redesigned" with PowerWash....and the Dryer coming out in Oct now offers reversing tumble.... for a FL HE...whirlpool duet SPORT...designed for 2nd floor installs....low vibration...Even Frigidaire remodeled their FL to compensate for the low water level... dollar for dollar....best value and simple to fix controls with a long warranty...stick with Speed Queen just my opinion if your getting rid of the Calypso, you may want to part it out, at least get something for it....Darren aka aldspinboy in Philly needs suspension parts....just a thought |

I haven't heard anything about Whirlpool buying Speed Queen.I know they got Maytag, Amana ,Jennair,... etc. but not SQ.I recommend
the new LG top loaders. They're real nice and do a great job cleaning and get lots of the water out using an 1100 RPM spin.No transmission at all and direct drive mechanism. There's a ten year warranty on the motor too.I went to Home Depot and Sears last Saturday to see them and you can get Sear's version of them for about $900 each.very quiet and the washer lid is "unslamable"!It;'s on a sort of hydrolic hinge and easily drops to close. |
