just to throw in a new machine option that isn't a speed queen - i bought a maytag commercial (MVWP575GW) about a year ago and really like it. very quick wash cycles, feels very well built, controls are all non-touchscreen. 10 year warranty for parts, 5 years service. only time will tell if it truly holds up, but its being sold as basically a speed queen alternative.

What's the efficiency like? Tia

probably about as good as any other top loader. if you wash your clothes in cold water, the washer probably isn't a huge energy hog. the dryer on the other hand...

Front loader spins faster, it gets more water out so you get faster drying.

This is good to hear as we are planning to buy this (and the corresponding dryer). The price seems great and the simplicity of the machine suggests it will last a long time and be relatively easy to repair. I don't need a touch screen on my washing machine and I see that is one more thing to break.

just make sure you buy from an appliance dealer not a big box store. the warranty is different (even though i think the machines are the same)
