Speed Queen gets a lot of buzz... They make the machines in the laundromats afterall. Myself, personally, I run a 1962 Speed Queen Model 60 wringer washer and a clothesline. Best 40 bucks I spent on a Craigslist item, ever.

I like the old gasoline powered wringer washers.

Every day is Throwback Thursday at your place?? Sounds like my mom’s setup from back in the day. The wringer washer didn’t go away until the mid-60s.

We have a winner. Speed Queen is the best by a mile.

For anyone really serious about buying a new washer I suggest reading the Amazon reviews. Look at all the brands. What you will find is that only Speed Queen gets really good reviews.

American made. No bells. No whistles. Very little if any electronics. Old fashioned relay type controls. Close to commercial quality. Lasts forever. Washes cleaner. Lets you fill the tub all the way to the top.

The best washer we've ever had. It replaced a pricey front load supposedly from Maytag but actually built by Samsung. The Speed Queen is possibly the last of the American made washing machines. The new EPA rules may make this the last year they are available.

You are so lucky.
