overly priced brand new washing machines are.

...but my HCBW (sorry TNT), goes to Lowes to buy the newest model anytime we've needed one.

I've never met anybody w/ a Speed Queen who would consider going back.

If you have a lot of work out clothes as well its

Which model do you have?

We don't anymore. Our new place came with all appliances, and we stupidly sold the Speed Queen. Huge regret.

I've become a huge front-loader fan in the last ten years.

I don't like stinky washers.

I haven't noticed it being stinky. We clean it every so often.

If it stinks then you are using too much soap and not maintaining it.

Good point. Front-loaders use about half the soap of top-loaders. Not sure why.

Interesting..Speed Queen question

It might be because of the agitator. They typically have a post agitator still. The HE washers use a little nub.

Offered through Fred’s Appliance. We bought the most expensive model

Don't get a Speed Queen. Avoid the appearance of evil

That's it, I'm bearing my testimony of Speed Queen:

I'm guessing you did all the price comparisons for me? 🙂

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

They aren’t cheap. Washer/Dryer will be $2000

Yeah, I'm seeing that now.

Well considering most CBers spend at least $75k on their swimming pool

TNT

9/17/20 2:32pm

$75K? You mean for the fountains?

Ragnar Danneskjold

9/17/20 2:36pm

Oh yes. Sorry. Typo

TNT

9/17/20 2:42pm

When I bought mine I found that the price was exactly the same anywhere you buy.

chitchatfan

9/17/20 2:33pm

So, where did you buy from?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

9/17/20 2:37pm

The place that could deliver that day. Bought it over the phone. I’m not in UT.
