I bought a Speed Queen TC500 a few months ago. Best washing machine I’ve ever owned. ONLY GET the 500...
A large load of clothes takes 25 minutes to wash, clothes come out clean with plenty of wash and rinse water to wash away dirt and detergent. It comes with a 5 year parts and labor guarantee and has a lid you can open to add an extra piece of clothing.
They’re hard to fine but the Consumer Reports digital site has links to where they can be bought. Consumer Reports show highest customer satisfaction of any of the washers they review. But CR is NOT happy with the water they use....They cost more... but it’s totally worth the extra money.
e than most washers but you’ll have this washer 20 to 25 years from now.
Water costs me 1.6 cents a gallon, I live in a area where have water everywhere, our average rainfall per years is more than 2/3rd of the amount of rain every year that the minimal requirement to be a Temperate Rainforest gets and every decade since the 80s the rainfall amount per year on average has been increasing.
In fact in 2018, we were less than 3 inches shy of having as much rainfall as a temperate rain forest.
I will HAPPILY pay to use more water to get clean damn closed quickly over saving a few nickels and taking two hours to get something clean. But, I don’t get that choice, because a bunch of idiots in DC, want to treat the whole country like it’s the south west.
If I lived in an arid climate where water was scarce, then water consumption is a different calculation, but where I live, I’ll take actually having clean clothes and dishes in a short time over less clean things over multiple times longer to save a nickel or less.
