Speed Queen Washer

shite, all I want is for a washer and dryer to last as long as my parents machines did.

Call me old fashioned but I like having separate machines. Get one load drying and start the next load to wash.

That plus combing a shite load of water with electrical heating elements in one machine with parts made in China might not have the best outcome.

I have an LG that washes and dries. There was a bit of a learning curve at first but now it’s pretty decent.

I wouldn’t recommend it for a bigger family but it works for us. The nicest thing is that I can put a load in at bedtime and in the morning it’s clean and dry. We use a clothesline in the warmer months so that’s cool.

These things are not for everyone but a family of three or if there are just two of you it might be worth considering.

What is going on in this industry? We are still washing clothes the exact same way my grandmother did.

Are you not married? That's one of a wife's core jobs.

What’s so funny. Sorry you work for LG baw

Ge and LG have all in one units that use a fridge compressor to pull the moisture out the clothes. Goes from dirty to dry and clean in an hour. Then they have a machine that folds clothes but it's pricey.

I have the analog whirlpool white box washer and dryer and other than replacing a belt on the dryer, never had an issue in 10 years. It's amazing consumers don't prefer this, but instead prefer gadgets and electronics that break.

I have the Maytag version of the same units. I tell people all the time that they are still available, but they won’t buy them. When their unit craps out after 2.5 years, they still won’t buy them!
