re: Speed Queen, a hard to find brand that has an online cult following

Grandmother's had hers as long as I can remember

I'm debating this now. - I want SQ but it's $1600 for the pair.

Is there any brand or model you'd trust if you wanted to limit yourself to $1000 or so?

You can pay $1600 now and be set for 20 years, or you can pay $900 today and $900 five years from now, and then $900 5 years after that.

As to another brand, the answer is no. There's an appliance repairman here in thibodaux. He's in his 80's and doesn't get a dime from Speed Queen. In fact, he says they cost him money because he never gets called out to fix them. He said it's the only brand to buy.

Throw in the fact that it's an American Company that employs American Workers and it's a no brainer.
