Hey Izzy...Congrats on the new home!

If new house means buying a washing machine,recent research I did into subject shows the speedqueen toploader to be a tank in appliance clothing,all metal gears,work arounds for the energy regs that prohibit filling to full instead of mandated 3/4 full,real hot water,not the mandated warm water standards.

They get around it by being a commercial machine....oh,and no computer thats a cash cow killer on machines for breakdowns,no mold issues like many.....list goes on and on and on.

I came across this in my search for a dishwasher,try finding a good one of those,good luck!

Start at 729 dollars.....no affiliation with company or seller,but after this is our next machine when time comes

FWIW I'd still get a CO detector,cheap insurance a neighbors truck or genny,whatever, doesnt kill you.
