The drum is too small for me and the agitator is pathetic. I found a GE that meets my requirements and has stood up to heavy commercial usage for 4+ years, so far. Only repair (under dealer warranty-—they know me)was a new timing switch. I usually destroy washers in 5 years, so I have hope for this one. I need the manual transmission and that, of course, is the weak point. And they always fail in January with horrid weather and peak usage.

OTOH, my Speed Queen electric dryer is a gem. Going on five years, heavy usage, some of it unauthorized and one temp setting chip or wiring failed and was replaced.

I have produced a commercial felt product for over 30 years. My husband has a massage practice, meaning a load of sheets daily. Used to be able to get heavy duty commercial washers and dryers reconditioned for $100 each and my husband could reconfigure and repair them himself. Next best thing is my small town dealer offers me their warranty for 7 years and the repair man is used to my requirements. The dealer will even go to bat for me with the manufacturer.
