    Don’t just go by the price tag though, because some of the expensive shit is actually cheap but they figured they’d sell more if they give it a premium price (and maybe some chrome-finnished plastic parts to make it look more premium).

    • I’m not going by the price tag, I’m going by the fact that Speed Queen is literally the only consumer washing machine brand whose machines you can explicitly use in a commercial setting and it won’t void the warranty, per the bond in the back of the manual.

      What a Speed Queen washer costs now is roughly what a quality Kenmore or Whirlpool washing machine cost in the 1980s, once you adjust for inflation.
