Another Speed-Queen girl here. It is a top loader. I can adjust the water level during the fill if needed. Add more clothes to the wash too. It has a hot wash coming from the hot water heater. New washer regs don’t let the temp go above a certain point. The washer will add cold water to lower the temp of hot water.
I want to choose the wash temp and don’t need regs in my wash loads. LOL.
You are wise to do your research first.
