The Speed Queen (if it's not the useless swirling type -- do not even consider one of those) and Maytag are the top two options out there. I wouldn't trust any other top load machine to use enough water or last longer than either the SQ or the Maytag.
If a SQ washer with old school agitation isn't available anymore (I've stopped keeping track of whether SQ has come to their senses and abandoned the failed swirling system), look for a good used one. My only advisory on SQ is that they're not the best at rinsing. I don't know if Maytag is much better and I'm not familiar with differences in capacity between the two makes. Others here can provide more information around that. |

the speed queen classic. Always use the heavy-duty cycle for everyday loads. |

Hi Ashley, The first thing to know if your current FL washer is not doing a good job is to learn how to use it.
For everyday loads ALWAYS use HOT water setting, Do not use the normal cycle, either use Heavy Duty, or whitest whites.
Use plenty of good detergent such as Tide, be cautious with using too much fabric softer in the washer or the dryer.
Use liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser when washing towels, bed linens , light colored socks and underwear, and ALWAYS on anything for the dogs and any household cleaning rags etc.
If you do these things you will never need to run a clean cycle on your washer again and your clothing will be clean.
I should add if your washer has a booster heater you can use that instead of LCB, however LCB works better and faster and probably costs less than the extra power the heater will use, LCB will also extend the life of your washer where as using the heater all the time may cause an extra service call at some point.
It might take a couple months to get the smell out of the washer and some of your clothing, it is also always wise to use the extra rinse option. John This post was last edited 10/10/2020 at 22:04 |
