Pros
- Those speed queens are so sweet!
- Bro, buy a Speed Queen - they are the GOAT of washing machines. If I owned my house, I would buy one.
- Darn Tough socks is going to be dull, but the Speed Queen will be exciting.
- You chose wisely. My Speed Queens have been rock solid outside of a door switch failing.
- The BEST best is a Speed Queen.
Cons
- Both my mom and my sister had Speed Queens. They are not infallible. I've had to work on both of them before they were seven or eight years old (water inlet valve and a bad shock on the washers, a bad door latch and a bad roller on the d...
- From what I understand Speed Queen WERE buy it for life, but based on all of the complaints I've read in this sub; not so much with the newer models :(
- May be a hot take but I absolutely don't buy into the Speed Queen propaganda on this subreddit.
- I also jumped on the wagon a month ago. But now, it's deteriorated some fabric types very quickly, and leaves spots on others.
- Speed queen is not the quality brand it used to be. It may still be better than most but might not deserve the price point they demand.

What redditors said (10 of 25)
Both my mom and my sister had Speed Queens. They are not infallible. I've had to work on both of them before they were seven or eight years old (water inlet valve and a bad shock on the washers, a bad door latch and a bad roller on the dryer) People love to talk about the durability of the Speed Queen (I have one out in my shop), But they don't talk about the excess water use and how much detergent you need.

Doing some reading, about the only washers that don't fail within a few years are the top trim level speed queens, huebsch, or in my price range...vintage.
