What a surprise! Seacruiser's post mimics what I would have written.
I began the search thinking I wanted one of the well known front loaders but found the same negative comments popping up that Seacruiser listed.
Some positives on Speed Queen were mentioned. Speed Queen? Did more googling and decided upon Speed Queen.
You won't find the brand in the big box stores. Again, as Seacruiser did, I bought mine from ABC Fredericks in Belleview (6658 S.E. 110th Street; 352-629-5181). The set was delivered at the end of May. (As an aside, the men who removed the old and installed the new were VERY mindful of the door frames, new paint job, etc. in the laundry room. Not a nick or scratch to be found!)
I'm very happy with my purchase. One of my husband's previously perennially dirty work shirts came out so much cleaner that I thought it went in the "good" pile.
