Bill,
First off welcome to AW. The Speed Queen topload models are arguably the current cream of the crop of all topload design washers sold today. If what you desire is an old-school, heavy duty, deep-water washing machine like the days of old you will not be disappointed in any of the current SQ models. I'd surely buy one of these if I had to have a topload machine. Bear in mind that the Internet reading/research you have been doing has very likely over represented any possible failures of these machines. It is rare to see a person that is happy with their machine take the time to go out and write a glowing review. A person that is jilted due to a problem (both actual or self induced) is far more likely to complain profusely. The vast majority of these machines go into service without a hitch. The problem with dirty spin baskets or rough edges is blown out of proportion and would be easy to deal with if you were to get one. Any other brand will have a certain percentage of problems also. At least we know that Speed Queen stands behind their products with a solid warranty. Only downside is that they aren't as common as some of the "big box" brands so retailers and service are a bit more spotty perhaps. Don't let yourself fall into "paralysis by analysis', just go buy one of these if it is the type of machine you want. Then you can enjoy using that fine machine as opposed to driving yourself bleary eyed reading about them ;) |

It can be changed. Has been discussed here. |
