Right on brother. I got so goddamn fed up with maintaining our bought-new POS front loader that I went out and bought a Speed Queen TC5 (just like grandma’s, or errr, my mom’s. I’m older).
This is their only “old-style” model that I’m aware of. Their other models incorporate other stuff, of which I want no part of lol.
The front loader had constant mildew issues, was supposed to be drained each month, the door left open to dry, and the vagina-like seal religiously cleaned. JESUS CHRIST!!!
The Speed Queen TC5 is a top-loader, uses a ton of water, takes only 30min for a cycle, no lid lock, and call the company and they’ll tell you how to set the dials so it works like the old ones.
The govt made them make a “regular” setting that conserves water. Upshot is it barely does anything. Call them and they’ll set you straight.
The Speed Queen TC5. ZERO MAINTENANCE. LIKE THE LORD INTENDED!
