My Maytag washer was terrible. Had to replace the triple lip seal and the main tub bearing at least twice on it due to the tub carrier cracking. After the first replacement, I saw what was wrong and "strengthened" the carrier... no problems after that.

I agree cab...I'm not a big fan of the digital control either...
Knobs it is... One ladt question...do you found the machines to be load? I've read some reviews that say they're pretty load. My laundryis centrally locatedin my house.( my current whirpool sounds like a jets about to take off, do to bad tub bearings). |

Sorry! I just saw this one. Yeah they're a bit loud but really for me no louder than the Maytag top load or the Frigidaire top load machine I had before. My laundry room shares a common wall with my TV room and I don't have to crank the volume up when they're running... But my house is old and the common wall is a 6" wall.

Well...after many many hours research we decided on a maytag commercial 575 washer and match dryer..side by side comparisons show how bad the speed queen 2018 models are..the maytag definitely out performed in that sense..
Since i was unable to find a pre 2018 speed queen set maytag 575 was the next best thing... I'm not real excited to know whirlpool is the parent company but apparently the 575 is built along side maytags commercial equipment... Dilvery is friday so here's to hoping we made a good choice.. Btw about $300 less expensive.. Thanks everyone for the input.. Steve |

Had a front load Frigidaire. Never again. Top load is fine with me and to get work clothes clean I use the bulky items selection. Plenty of water — doesn't look like spaghetti being rinsed in the sink.
Problem with that particular brand, and I don't know if this is a universal problem, but the complicated gasket system was a trap for stagnant water and a bad smell. I cleaned and cleaned on that thing on my hands and knees to little avail. Give me a tub any day. |

If they ain't broke don't buy a new one...the fact that you Boyz went and bought new one just because you felt like it...is not very wise..and writ large is why America is now fked...not to mention the environment going south because of conspicuous consumption...fking idiots.
That said...my Kenmore is still sloshing the water around after 23 years and the GE dryer is 32 years old. My mother used to reuse the wash water for more than one load..now that is being frugal.. |

If this is directed to me...what are you talking about? The op plainly states my machine is broke.. Who enjoys spending 2k on an appliance? Get off your soap box please!!!! |
