While I prefer front-loaders, it's nice knowing there is still one traditional top-loader on the market. And it's well built and made in the US to boot. Love the spin-drain. Haven't had one of those since my mid-80s Frigidaire; which, by the way, used far more water per cycle than this comparitively parsimonious Speed Queen. Gotta tell you washman...I'm a little disappointed in you.

"Looks like it's on the tree hugger setting in that picture. Must not be your machine." This was right after I got the machine, before 1st use. |

It was actually great to see an old-school layer of suds in your video!
There's usually a top-loader as a second machine in my laundry room---for fun and variety. Currently, that is a 2012 Frigidaire Immersion Care. I'm starting to think I should snag a Speed Queen while the company is still making them. It's really my only chance to score a truly traditional spin-drain washer without going vintage.

"While the company is still making them" Does Alliance have any plans to stop making them? |

Perhaps EPA Algorithms involve putting pressure on manufacturers to cease production of this type of machine.
I might have to start cruising the local craigslistings and habitat store for trophy home discards. I don't need a brand new one as long as my Affinity is still functioning, so can't justify that kind of purchase. |

if when I get my gas bill I see a reason to go back to my Frigidaire (Square door) front loader. Oh and the water bill too. I suspect I'm gonna gasp and reach for my heart medication. :-) |

me i hope that canadien us manufacturers never stop producing top loads washers because if you count the year i have wash in a top load washer since i was a kid until 2004 where i switxh to my duet if i had a choice today i would go back to using a topload washer even if that would mean using a refurbish direct drive washer or a vintage non energy star model like in this picture even if theis means the washer would be harvest gold avocado green white ect
