Our next house will either have a Speed Queen (if it fits) or some brand that allows for using enough water to get the clothes clean. No sense in conserving water if it ruins your clothing.

I also remember someone on here returning a Samsung because the clothing came out of the washer with dry spots on it.
Excellent advice, C. We have had our big capacity Maytag for so long, I know it's death is near, but it just keeps chugging and doing it's job.
