re: New washer and dryer

I also have Speed Queens. I bought the top load washer and front load dryer with the electronic controls (as opposed to the dials). Haven't had them for that long, but they came highly recommended from people whose opinions re: appliances I trust completely. My only complaint is the bin in the washer isn't "really" big enough to wash a king sized comforter. It can do it, but it takes a couple dry cycles to get it dry.

I spent the money on them in hopes that I would get years of use out of them without issue. There's nothing fancy looking about them...just plain old white washer and dryer. So if you (or your SO) care about that, then you may not like them. I couldn't care less how my washer and dryer look.
