Family members bought a motel in the late 1960’s and ran it for 30+ years. They liked Speed Queens because they were something they could repair themselves, they said. My basic Speed Queen set is getting some age on it but works great. If I could change anything I would get larger capacity and deep fill feature. I can add more water but I have to hold the knob until it’s got enough water for my taste.
My daughter said they had this laundry appliance discussion at work and the young gals were dissatisfied with the models without agitators.
