Hmm, please specify website address. I did see something in one of those places that sells to people living offgrid, that looked an awful lot like a remake of a Speed Queen. Very interesting except... Made in Saudi Arabia.

Which in turn suggests taking a serious look at the company, and more to the point, where the company spends its charitable contributions. Fact is that Saudi companies large and small are financially supporting people who want to fly planes into buildings and otherwise kill us in large numbers. Not all Saudi companies are supporting our enemies, but enough are that it bears some serious investigation before spending your money.

You can always (well, not "always" but at least "often"!:-) get a reconditioned vintage machine instead, and know that there's no ethical contradiction on where the money went.

Probably from Lehman's Hardware. I'll get you the link below. Yes ... they are now called "Home Queen". I bought one brand new in 1998 and was somewhat dissatisfied with it. It was still called Speed Queen and had the white porcelain tub. The washing action was very good; the wringer, however, was a "safety" wringer. It would pop open quite frequently when large articles went through. It had a "tinny" quality to it. Was also a lot of money!!! I ended up giving it to charity and it was sold at an auction. I'll stick with my Maytag's!!
