I'm a die-hard front-load washer user, but given the choice between the two you are considering, I'd go with the Speed Queen top-loader. I had one for about a year (as a fun, old-school second washer in my laundry room) and it did its job.
With GE having recently been sold to Haier, there's no telling how long parts will be available for their current models. GE's front-loaders are listed near the bottom of the reliability ranking by Consumer Reports. Speed Queen is at the top of the list for reliability in top-loaders. We love follow-up. Be sure to stop by and let us know which machine you wind up choosing! |

Skip the Chinese GE washer and get a SQ FLer, the prices on SQ FLers have dropped by a couple hundred in the last month, we are now selling a SQ FL washer for less than $1500 with del & installation and you have a FIVE YEAR Parts & Labor warranty compared to GEs 1 Year warranty.
In our opinion SQ builds the ONLY FLer that will likely last more than 30+ years in most home laundry situations. |
