I second your vote for Speed Queen. We bought their top loading washer and a dryer a couple of months ago.
Friends and neighbors told us the sleek new water saving washers are a disaster....don’t clean clothes and the machine tub has a tendency to smell.
That is why I paid $40 for a used 20 year old washing machine 3 years ago. It just works and when it quits, I have long since got my $40 out of it and will go get another old washing machine.
