After replacing a Whirlpool and then a Maytag that were less than 8 years old, we bought a Speed Queen Commercial Heavy Duty (model AWNE9RSN115TW01) in 2018. With this machine I can let the washer choose how much water to use (Eco button) or I can choose the amount of water I want the washer to use. It has several buttons that allow me to select the type of load (e.g. bulky, delicates, permanent press, etc.); water temperature; dirt level, etc. It's a top loader with an agitator and does a much better job washing the clothes than the top loader Maytag without the agitator ever did. I opted for the Speed Queen after asking 2 washer repairmen what the best washing machine was. Both immediately recommended Speed Queen as a washer that is likely to last 20 years or more without problems. We paid $1047 for it in 2018.
