Speed queen stack is only in front load. What you are looking for does not exist | ||

I remember many years ago coming across a stacked washer and dryer where the washer was a top load machine. It was hinged on the front bottom edge of the washer, and had a handle across the top front. You would pull on the handle to tilt the washer forward to load. I thought it was the craziest thing, and figured you could only open it when there was no water inside. Can’t remember what brand.

That’s the one! The ultramate! Anyone have one lying around, or have they all been converted into Korean cars? | ||

you might have far better luck choosing/finding a stacked Whirlpool/Kenmore 27" ThinTwin...theres also a Maytag TL stacked, in digital and analog
just note: these TL may be listed as Large Capacity, but basically a standard capacity tub... or going with the Speed Queen FL stacked pair... at least you have a better chance with any one of these three for dependability and parts availability.... also in your search, factor in that you may have to travel or have one shipped

not everyone can have a setup like many of us....but I can so relate with having 10 kids myself, dealing with cloth diapers to greasy work clothes....
you may benefit from an additional machine.....a wringer has come in handy many times....but something like an additional portable machine, like an Avanti/MagicChef in a 1.7 or larger size, could really benefit someone in your case...

Yogitunes thank you! I would love to have ten kids! My wife isn’t there yet. How does the Neptune perform? How does it handle cleaning heavily soiled loads? | ||

I may be impartial, as I am a fan of the Neptunes...as I have 7 sets and a few spares...
they have been more than effective for what I have thrown at them.... granted my water heater is set at 180, 98% of the loads are either Hot or Warm, a good detergent, bleach, ammonia, borax, softener as needed....purging the line before starting... normal loads take about 45 minutes...and the dryer falls within the same time frame... there is no 'clean washer' cycle....to which if you follow the guidelines above, will never need one... there are options of PreWash and Stain Cycle for heavily soiled laundry....extra detergent and an extra rinse really work well for this type of a cycle... these operate with very little water in the beginning, which really super concentrates the detergent lather, and adds more as the cycle progresses... note too, Neptunes and Frigidaire Gallery round door, were created way before the tight water restrictions took effect, these fall well below the Tier 1 guidelines, you really want to stay away from a Tier 2 or 3, the higher the number, the less amount of water used... I also own/used other FLers, Frigidaire, SQ, LG, Whirlpool.....for the most part, all have been effective...pros and cons with each.. the main thing you want to do if picking out a used machine....plug it in and run a spin cycle, it should be silent, if not, move on... keep us posted on your progress | ||

Yikes! Look at all those drain hoses! I remember when a rag or wash cloth would clog the tub in my mom's laundry room and the whole place would flood. You'd need an arc if that happened in that collection room.

I have to be faid and admit the Neptune is a great performer. Better than any top load washer on the market. | ||
