SQ AWN432 & AWN542
I have both models and they're great...other than the slightly slow water level. They work great, are quiet and I've had no problems. The 432 is about three years old, the 542 is about six months old. With the 542 I have the matching dryer, which is a great big tub, but I think I like my old Maytag Dependable Care dryer a little better.

Ditto to what LLMaytag stated have the TL washer and TOL dryer. No issues. Both perform very well indeed. | ||

New SQ Washer and Dryer
As a dealer that has sold hundreds of SQ washers and dryers I can say that they are well built products. First the easy one, the dryers, they are good simple work horses and if rugged reliability is your main goal [ or having a dryer to match a SQ washer ] I recommend them, they are not the best performing dryers ever built however, for that you would have to look at many past or present offerings from Whirlpool.
On the SQ washer front I would only ever have the Front Load machine in my home, while I sell the TL washer almost 5 to 1 over the FL washer the FL machine is superior in construction and longevity to any other washer made for home use. And after having a modern FL washer it would be crazy to go back to a primitive poorer performing wasteful and EXPENSIVE to run washer. John L. | ||

John L........ What are prices like (in general) for the TL, FL and dryers? I'm considering the Stainless Steel version FL and dryer - just wondering what to expect. Can an individual buy direct from the factory? Thanks much! | ||

New SS SQ Laundry Pair
The SS machines are a little pricy, the washer AFN51FSP lists for $2,349,00. Our price if picked at our WH is 1,939.00.
The matching dryer gas ADG41FSS lists for $1,659.00, our PU price $1,359.00, both prices are $80.00 less if you need an electric dryer. By contrast you can get the standard rear control FL washer picked up from us for $1,549.00, so you are paying $800 more for the SS cabinet construction and a little better warranty. Be careful of buying SQs on line as SQ claims you may not have a warranty. | ||

Imperial Set
I have the Imperial set in SS and they look as good as they did when they were delivered back in 2009.
I recently did some maintenance on the dryer and replaced the drum rollers and such. Of all the parts that I replaced, I don't think any of them REQUIRED replacement. There were only two parts that I replaced that showed any signs of wear. The metal screen that covers the air intake had some discoloration on it, most likely due to high heat and fabric softener use. The other was the front drum glides. Both of these parts combined ring in at around $7.00 to replace. The build quality on these machines is really apparent once you start looking closely! Malcolm | ||

Thanks John....... Kinda thought they would be a little on the pricey side - but anything, generally speaking, that is that well built would be expected to cost a little more than lesser brands. Thanks again for the info. | ||
