I have heard that the newer Speed Queen washers are nothing like the older ones.

That is terrible. I love my Speed Queen. It's built like a tank. Probably 12+ years old.

That's what I'd always heard everyone say. I was willing to spend the money on it when our old washer died thinking I'd move it to our new house we were building and get the matching dryer then. It's awful to say, but I'll just continue the sad cycle of essentially cheap disposable appliances at this point.

Same thing happened to Dyson vacuums. Got popular, quality went down as they got addicted to high revenue. Sales don’t stay high when people only have to buy your products once.

Ugh! We were hoping to get a new Speed Queen set when our washer and dryer finally bite the dust but we're definitely rethinking that now.

True but it's awful to create so much trash. I know they can recycle some of the large appliance parts but not all of it.
My parents had 2 refrigerators since 1968 when they bought the house my dad still lives in today: the old avocado green one that they had my from earliest memories until they remodeled in 1994 and the one he got in 1994. He still has that one.

The house ds25 bought came with an old Amana fridge with the freezer on the bottom. It's built like a tank and he says he's keeping it til it dies.
