 Like you , I'll cling to my beloved top loader till the eco freaks pry it from my mostly clean hands .... |
Absolutely the best summary of the problem.

I will add a question. What uses more energy?? Replacing an appliance
every 5 yrs & recycling it then building a new POS & shipping it
a thousand miles ? OR using more water & electric and keeping it
20-40 yrs ?
BTW Speed Queen that was the last real washer has now had a re design.
The also raised the price by abt $100. I got mine just before. My still
running abt 40 yr old Maytag is in the cellar waiting for its next
assignment. The delivery men really wanted to take it away !
Gee I wonder why ?
