When Raytheon sold their appliance division to Goodman, a new company, Alliance Laundry Systems, took complete control of the Speed Queen name for coin-op machines. As time went on, Goodman started cutting corners on the Amana line, while ALS kept the original design and made it slightly more durable for commercial use. When Goodman sold Amana to Maytag, the Amana machine continued its evolution and is now more Norgetag than Amana/SQ.
