Speed Queen Front Load Washer, It is likely the only washer you can buy for home use that could last 50 YEARS, and when you consider the energy savings over the very good SQ TL washer it will pay back the increased cost of the FL washer in 5-10 years of average use and these savings do not even take into account the longer life and resulting savings on worn out and damaged clothing.

While I have a new Speed Queen AWN542 top-loader, my daily driver--since 1988--has always been a front-loader. Currently, it's a 2010 Frigidaire.
While the SQ front-loader will be more durable, the Whirlpool offers more cycle flexibility, larger capacity, and an internal water heater. And it will vibrate less on a non-concrete floor (1st or 2nd floor installation). Me, I'd go for the Whirlpool. Having said that...if you decide on a top-loader, a Speed Queen is your machine. |
