As far as top loading washers of the current market are coancerned(I truly prefer front loading washers)Speed Queen makes the best in my opinion.I had a Maytag badged Whirlpool washer from Sears for a week or two and returned it for numerous resons.The agitation speed on the W/pool is way too vigorous for my wash and they have designed the water coming in too add cold water to the hot water setting!!Hello!I as a consumer should have 100% of a choice of the water temperature I am using to wash my clothes,not the manufacturer.The SQs agitate further,spin faster and rinse better than all other top loaders of today.

Congratulations on acquiring a Speed Queen washer! There aren't many SQ dealers here, so we don't see many of them. I know very little about South Africa. Are the "American" brands (Whirlpool, Speed Queen) made in the US and imported to South Africa? Do you have other brands familiar to us like G.E. and Maytag? Do the Kenmore or Frigidaire brands exist there? |

I emailed W/pool about my friend's issues regarding the cold water coming on during the hot eash.They clamed that the energy use has to be a certain amount.If it goes over that,it is beyond the allowed level which would make the units not comply to the current US standards on energy use for top loading/agitator washers.My next question to that was "WHY THEN DO YOU PUT A BOOSTER IN YOUR FRONT LOADERS TO MAINTAIN THE HOT 160F WASH TEMPERATURE???? I see a double standard here." Their respnse was that they try to have a constant eye and ear on the consumer's needs and likes and dislikes and they'd file my complaint and get back with me.THEN THEY THANKED ME FOR CHOOSING WHIRLPOOL AND HUNG UP!!!!!Why don't they just give up the ghost on their agitating top loading "crewelaction"agitator washers and get over it?Instead of making customers angry and confused??I truly believe they(Whirlpool) don't really like the front loaders but know that it's inevitable that they are now the most desired type of washing machines in the world.Theirs are the Bauchnect.a company owned originaly by Phillips whom W/pool pchsed quite a few years ago.

> That's the government, not them. < At least for now, these energy standards are voluntary. E.g. none of Speed Queen's current top loader models are Energy Star compliant, or have "automatic temperature control". |
