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

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

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.

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.

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

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