You're right, the updated ones without the center agitator are easier on clothes, but they don't wash very well apparently.

And your past statement depends a lot on where you live and where your water comes from.

The point I'm making is that Consumer Reports objectively found that the models without the center agitator don't clean as well. I mean, CR certainly isn't perfect, but I'm not sure why I wouldn't trust them here.

And you just added another washer to the life span, lol. There's certainly some washers that while they won't last as long as a SQ, will certainly last more than 1/3 as long as an SQ. And yes, there's also washers out there that won't last even 1/3 as long as an SQ.

Samsung isn't the average, Samsung is the short end of longevity.

It’s ok let them keep putting words in your mouth with their wild assumptions about what you have written.

Some people are cultists but there is no denying that overall the reviews for speed Queen are

  • long lasting
  • quick
  • handle heavily soiled clothes from industry
  • are not as good at getting stains out as other top brands
  • can be more harsh on clothes than other top brands.
  • uses more water than other top brands.
