Where is your evidence to support this? The only glitch in Speed Queen's lineup in the last 200 years was when they removed the true agitator functionality from their top loaders. This coincided with the launch of the Maytag 575 which curbstomped Speed Queen's sales. Then Speed Queen launched the TC5 which was the last year's model with a fancy new name. In any event, the Speed Queen hate during that period was not with the warranty, but the cleaning ability. We DO NOT want to obfuscate those two elements!
