Joni I hope you like the new washer. I am still liking mine. Initially I didn't notice an increase in water consumption but I am now. But I am OK with that. The clothes are so much cleaner. I hate to mention this but here goes. So with the old washer, DH's work shirts accumulated deodorant in the armpit area. That area would become hard and stiff. We have not replaced the shirts but since we have had the new washer that area has softened and the deodorant is being cleaned from that area. I don't know if it makes sense in how I said it. LOL The bottom line is that the new washer cleans a lot better and I am happy about that.

LMBO. I absolutely HATED my front loader. It never cleaned well. It broke all the time. My washer before lasted over 20 years. This one broke down so often that when I finally got a regular one again I wanted to take an axe to it too.

I volunteer at an animal shelter and they literally do laundry all day long every day. Two machines stuffed fuller than they should be with items and types of "dirt" that we'd never see at home. Both are Speed Queen top load analog machines. The only difference from my new one is that they're extra large capacity. Everything I've ever washed there has come out clean in spite of what was on them.
I thought the machine we looked at looked familiar, but I didn't realize it was basically the same machine as the shelter until yesterday. That boosted my confidence in our choice! |

I'm considering a speed queen stacking set. Anyone have any thoughts on them? I like the fact that the drier actually vents.

The fact that they work at a shelter is also good for me because I'm pretty sure not everyone would treat them as kindly as their own machines, so more durable!
Lannette I've had stacking years ago (early 1990s) and loved them. However it wasn't spews queen and I don't remember the brand. I know it was like Kenmore or GE or something mainstream.

Question for those with this Speed Queen model: https://www.speedqueen.com/products/...build-your-own
Can you was a king size quilt? I have washed a thin king size comforter but not a heavy king size quilt. Any thoughts? ETA: I just searched the questions/answers on their site and it does NOT look like it will.
