Because they actually effing clean things. I got tired of having soap residue on my clothes, and having washing machines that had unreasonable repair costs, and pathetic longevity.

The updated ones that are easier on clothes, don't wash them very well...

I purposely bought what might have been the last new one of the old model in existence. I had it shipped from a furniture store in the East Coast a few years back. My understanding is that when they went to the design where the agitator stays stationary, and the tub rotates that the ability to clean went down hill. There were some pretty compelling YouTube videos about it, and Speed Queen definitely faced some criticism.
