"We may not have all of the blue, blinking lights . . . but our machines are fast and reliable. If you want a more modern-looking design, and you don't care about functionality, then buy one of those other machines."

Nice to know there's at least one company in existence that doesn't have their head up their @ss!

So true. I really like my "...older, durable, basic machine that is easy to understand and use."

I remember first calling SQ HQ when considering the washer. I said "...the machine design is rather 90s looking (control panel), will it be updated soon?". The guy (who has worked there over 20 years) chuckled and said "...well, we just updated it last year. We're not much on flashy stuff." Ever since then, I've been good with it.

Did you see the video link at the bottom? In that video it shows a white agitator that looks like an Easy (in a square tub no less). Odd... Hmmmm....

I really enjoyed that little article, it's nice to see that the company really does care and strive to make a good product. I would love to work in their lab. :)

The square tub machine...

... Is the Unimac UM202. It's used for car washes. It is indeed a twin tub machine actually, a triple tub machine. It has 2 wash compartments and one rinse/extract compartment. I've always loved these machines!

I'd love to do a plant tour--not sure if they do that. Then again, not going to be in WI anytime soon.

I would love to take the ASTP. I wonder if anyone can sign up and take it.

Just saw this vid tonight..........

and was impressed with the level of commitment by Alliance to build a solid machine. No wonder they have the market in coin operated laundry!
