Speed Queens are great and very expensive. Many consumers will have sticker shock at their price.
But they last 25 years so they'll save you big bucks in the long run.
Speed Queens are great at destroying your clothing and being very expensive in the process you mean.
Please don’t buy a top loader for the love of your clothing.
I have either the AWNE92SP113TW01 or AWNE82SP113TW01 top load washer for about 7 years, and haven't had any issues with damaged clothing. Once a drawstring from a hoodie got tangled at the bottom of the rotating agitator, but thats it. what problems have you had?
I also don't recall it being very expensive. Maybe $900.
agitators cause pilling, fading, etc. general wear and tear on your clothing that front load washers don't cause
