re: Speed Queen washers

Is it that much of an upgrade? In 2016 I bought a oenmore series 100 w/d set for $600. Over the years it's just been me with the occasional loads from my gf. My current situation is the door lock switch is pretty much shot. That is an easy replacement. The big issue is the tub slams into the sides pretty violently. I do half loads and try to balance them but anything that will hold water is going to make it go crazy in the spin cycle. The suspension rods seem fine so I am not sure of the cause and at the point of calling someone.
