Speed Queen is made in America. The company is in Ripon, WI. Speed Queen has been in buisness for more than a century and is a division of a company that makes commerical laundry equipment.
I have had mine since 2015 and when we sold our northern house this year and bought another one in the same area, I had the Speed Queen set moved. Very few bells and whistles on the ones I have. They are workhorses. The washer is a top-loader, and although that is not the in thing right now, I like it. It is just a regular top-loader, not the kind with the tub so deep that you feel like you're going to fall in when trying to get the clothes out.
I think Speed Queen is usually sold in Mom & Pop appliance stores, not in big box stores.
I am convinced that a lot of appliance brands now have built-in obsolescence. But Speed Queen seems tougher than the rest.
OP, you might want to take a look at speedqueen.com and see what you think.
