Love that Speed Queen.

@estalt957 I love it too! Both sets, and now my sister has a set as well...we're going to be a Speed Queen family. My original set is still going strong 2 years later--no signs of wear at all.

Ok, that does it. I want one. You can have my 2009 Kenmore.

@ueg790 LOL - I'll keep my Speed Queens. :)

I also have had mine for a year. The matching drying started sqeaking after four months. It was a surface defect in the brass rollers and that assembly was replaced under warranty with one hour downtime and no furthur problems. The washer has run perfectly! I never worry about these machines or my wash anymore.

@TennesseeArt Great to hear that SQ took care of the issue! Many more years of service to you!

I've had my Speed Queen AWN412 washer and matching ADE4BR dryer for two weeks now. I'm very happy to own these machines. Only one store in our area carries them. A mom and pop operation that's been in business for 63 years. I'm proud to say I bought a USA made product from a local independent dealer. Not enough of that going on in this country. Your video helped seal the deal on my purchase.

@DanManTN Also, an update - had the washer/dryer over 1 1/2 years now - absolutely NO issues whatsoever, they just trudge on doing what they do best. I bought a 2nd pair for a townhouse I own...both working flawlessly. I hope you enjoy your Speed Queens when you buy them. Be sure to check out Speed Queen's website so that you can compare the home models.

@dlc2626 These were old clothes that couldn't possible fade anymore - I really didn't have much laundry to do when i made the video, so I rounded up whatever I had. I had intended on making another video, but this one ended up being the one that I used. I'm usually really picky on clothes sorting.

This a American Top Load washer. Why isn't it available for the European market?

What is the fabric selector switch, and do you get the same performance with the 432 model?

My Speed Queen set is still going strong as well. My duo will be a year old this coming week and I'm so glad I made the purchase. Speed Queen might be a little more expensive than other brands but it is worth every penny.
