Reply to comment by Right_Violinist_5837 in My baby is home; hit the scratch & dent jackpot. by buoyantgem

This is a Reddit thing not an American thing. Front loaders are pretty much the standard in America too but Reddit fetishizes Speed Queen despite them being inefficient, loud and rough on clothes. I think they make the wrong compromises and I’m not a fan. Give this American a Miele over a Speed Queen any day.

I have a Speed Queen top loader (edit: from 2015) and I wash my "hand wash only" blouses in it all the time. I've never had it eat anything.

Interesting! I based my original comment only on my experience from visiting various friends in the US who all had these antiquated agitator style washers.
