Wow. I just checked the price for a Speed Queen washer/dryer combination. They are on sale for $2,628. They look just like my $650 Hotpoint pair from Lowes that are still working after 6 years. I can afford to buy 3 more sets of Hotpoints and still be money ahead. No wonder "Made in America" is not working.
