These actually were real Speed Queen clones but they had problems, particularly with belt failure. We had a '97 Amana pair for several years and it was on its third belt when we replaced both machines with front loaders. Never any seal issues or leaks, but the belts weren't so easy to replace. We wisely purchased a service plan when we bought the machines and extended it after replacing the first belt and having dryer problems as well. |
