Thanks all. I ended up picking up a 2016 Speed Queen top loader (with s/steel tub) on Craigslist today ($200). It’s in immaculate condition.



If anyone is interested in throwing more money at a 23 year-old Maytag with a seized transmission, there will be one available soon!

That's the same model we have. Nothing fancy... it just washes clothes.

We gave up on "domestic" machines. Speed Queen was highly recommended. We ended up with Maytag Commercial units. Very pleased. Massive load capacity. Seem very durable.

Cheers

We got about 13 years from our front loading Whirlpools. Would have preferred 20 or 30, but I wasn’t too unhappy. What made me unhappy was that my wife bought an electric dryer to replace the former gas dryer.

Miele is considered to be best. But Bosch (and Siemens, which is just rebadged) are good value. Then there are Electrolux, Samsung etc.
But top loaders are almost non existent.

If you washign machine won't agitate, check your "agitator dogs" - they're easy enough to replace, if they're broken.
