I like the SQ too............
Believe it or not I'm starting to like the Frigidaire T/L-ers more and more. Slow long arc agitation and spray rinses BEFORE AND AFTER the deep rinse. I'll accept the tub indexing, and the theoretically short life. My newer GE top-loader does a neutral drain and has no spray rinses! It stinks with removing lint. When over-sudsed (as with Mexican detergent) it has barely spun and the motor overheated and stalled). Center-dial Maytags are looking better and better all the time! | ||

If I didn't get an Oasis, I'd probably get a SQ pair. They're build like a tank and they have the long-slow agitation. The WCI/Frigidaire machines also have a long stroke/belt drive mechanism but I here they're alot of trouble. | ||

Toggle.....You mentioned the Frigidaire Top Load Have you seen these machines in action? Good wash action with the dual action agitator (think they call it Twin Spin)? Lowes offers their top of the line top load at a little over 400.00. | ||

I have never seen a modern Frigidaire in action... Do they have the typical dual action? or is it like the WP/KM Triple that have the up/down with dual action? Any video of the Frididaire? | ||

Consumer Reports reports Frigidaire washers with a straight-vaned agitator have rather poor cleaning scores. Since they consistently neglect to rate the TOL Frigidaire (which is very competitively priced and has the dual-action agitator), I have no idea if the cleaning scores show an improvement over the plain jane model. Every once in awhile, I get the urge to pick up a TOL Frigi TL'er to use for a few months before moving on to the FL'er of my dreams. I haven't had a TL'er for years; I think it might be fun to check one out again. My sister had a MOL Frigi TL'er and her only complaint was that it would occasionally vibrate/walk across her basement floor. It lasted for years without any service calls. It stayed with the house when they moved. | ||

Isn't the Frigidaire TL mechanism just a rehash of the the ancient White Westinghouse TL mechanism from the late 60's? If I remember correctly, they had a very anemic spin. | ||

I would have to say-------
I would have to rate them is this order #-1 Speed Queen---This thing is built like a sherman tank!! With a SS tub and the long stroke, you can't really go wrong,plus the matching dryers rock!! Great airflow and also the top of the range dryer is also SS inside. #-2 Kenmore/Whirlpool.Pretty much the same as each other,the Kenmore will have more creature comforts that the WP will not. They are tried and true.Easy ti get service, and 120 srokes a minute is not to bad:) #-3 Fisher and Payke[.Thses machines are really neat and inovative.I have a Girlfriend that wore out one with five kids, so she bought another, and they are energy star rated.They have true spray rincses and a fast 1000 rpm spin. SS tub.F and P has the chioce of a top loading dryer, or the front loading dryer made by GE that will match . I personally use a Miele for my daily driver, and love it..i wash alot of clothes If I had to buy a TL, RCZ:) | ||
