I just replaced an almost 20-year-old Asko with a $200 low mileage Miele w1986. Plan to have the Asko timer replaced in the near future. But for now enjoying a little "Immer Besser" technology.
However, if I HAD to buy a new washer I would really like to have the new SQ front loader....if it will fit in my closet. If not, then one of the compact LG, Electrolux/Kenmore front loaders. |

I'd really, really like a "Concepcione". Never heard of one? Then you don't know many maids LoL. If I could afford one, I'd make sure she had a legal work visa, or a green card, and be generous wether she was a live in or not. |

I have had a front load set of LG machines for almost two years and they are the best washer and dryer I've ever owned -- solid, quiet, fast and fantastic performance. There is no other set I would rather have.
These models have every option I want including a water heater. Speed Queen FLs may be quality built, but the lack of a water heater instantly disqualifies them in my book, especially considering their price tag. I would not want any top loader built today, agitator or otherwise. |

I am, in fact, buying a SQ front loader this weekend. I am keeping my vintage fleet in service, and only intend to use the SQ a few times per month, mostly on bulky items that cannot easily be washed in my other machines.
I worked in the appliance parts business for several years selling parts for most major appliances. I chose SQ because their performance was reputed to be quite good and their durability so much better than the competition. In the parts business, we regarded Samsung and LG as the bottom of the barrel. We even referred to LG as "Luxury Garbage." The LG & Samsung appliances tended to be good performers and be well-featured, but their durability was poor, most service technicians refused to work on them, and they tended to have the absolute worst parts-support. Your mileage may vary, Dave |

If I had to buy a new washer and dryer I would be interested in an AEG toploader and an AEG heatpump dryer.

I think if SQ would just step it up with their front loaders and add a heat boost, they would win over a LOT of people. That is really the one option I would want to have that they don't offer as of yet. |

Speed Queen Top Loader: It uses a sane amount of water, which is great for pet hair and lint and it is based on a proven mechanism. |

I will chime in here and say that I would go with a SQ top loader if I had the extra $$ My 50 year old Maytag A606 died and all I want is a machine that actually fills with water, has an agitator, doesnt shred my clothes and also does not take an hour to wash a load. |

I would be getting Speed Queens definitely. They'll be Front Loaders. And if I need a Compact Front Loading Set, then I'll be getting LG's. --Charles-- |
