Speed Queen Washing Machine Reviewed

Much to my distress, 10 years ago I was forced to replace my dependable washing machine because parts were no longer available for repairs. I absolutely hated the washing machines that were available at that time. They didn't had agitators in the center and were like deep buckets. I couldn't reach the bottom of most of the interior tubs, therefore my choices were even more limited.

The washing machine I purchased was the only one I could actually lean into to get the clothes out. While I doubt any of them would have been any better, I hated that machine. The clothes always smelled musty and didn't seem to get as clean. I started using Clorox 2 in every load, which helped, but I still hated the machine. It took forever for a load to wash! Still, I had bought it, so I was stuck with it.

Finally, about 3 months ago (after 10 very long years), that stupid washing machine started leaking, only slightly, but I was able to say: Oh, good! Time for a new washing machine!

This time, I invested in a Speed Queen washing machine, in-spite of the scary price tag. But, it had an agitator and excellent reviews! The Speed Queen came highly recommended by a trusted family member. So, I took a deep breath and completed the purchase transaction.

I had to wait 6 weeks for my Speed Queen to be delivered, but it was well worth the wait (and the price). I started washing clothes immediately and joy of all joys, they came out smelling clean! Plus, I could easily remove the clothes from the machine, reminiscent of the way washing machines were built decades ago.

Oh, how I have missed a washing machine with an agitator that would actually get our clothes clean.

I cannot personally attest to the machine's longevity, but I am encouraged to hear that many consumers report they will least for 20 years.

My Speed Queen machine is smaller than the one I replaced, but it will wash everything I need washed, including blankets and bedspreads. Smaller loads, but that is okay with me. Everything gets clean!

SPEED QUEEN Home Style Digital Top Load Washer (LWNE22SP115TW01)Check PriceI purchased a different Speed Queen model with dials instead of an electronic control panel, but mine is not currently available on Amazon. Therefore the one on the right is not my actual machine, but it is fairly comparable. My machine is not portable like the one featured.

I realize I have only had it for 3 months, but thus far, it has been awesome. The family member that recommended it stated that Speed Queen is the best you can get and I believe that too.
