    There's nothing environmentally friendly about having to scrap appliances every 5 years because they are not worth fixing.

    Six minutes into the video and they're still doing nothing but clowning around and getting political. Next video ...

    I purchased a brand new washer and dryer about 3 years ago, my first brand new set ever! Within 1 month I called my used appliance store friend, and said I will give you mine, if you will give me a normal set. No washer was going to tell me if I could open the lid or not, or tell me I could only soak cloths for a certain time. Like I once told a Lowes clerk, when she asked me if there was something wrong with the light fixture I purchased, and why I was returning it, I replied with "Its a smart light and I want a stupid light"

    sorry folks, I bugged out at 4 minutes. You were taking just a bit too long to get to the point. Here is the secret... washing machines today have planned obsolescence. When your computer goes out, plan on spending 6 to 7 hundred for a new computer, or 9 hundred (or more) for a new machine. BTW... never use regular soap in a high efficiency machine.

    I will spend 20 hours of labor and endless time troubleshooting and tracking down parts to keep anything old in service. Anything with a computer part will never win as a replacement for longevity

    Ugh, thousands of dollars later I have found that I like old style washers that have nothing digital. Just a machine that washes with hot water is all I need. No

    We bought the same ones, for the same reasons. Tired of buying them over and over. Consumer grade junk at big box stores.

    When our new washer broke years ago we called the repair man because it was the Circuit board that broke, he wanted $1300 for a new one which was absolutely ridiculous. I went to our local 2nd hand dealer and bought an old school washer and dryer for $400 and haven’t had 1 issue in years. Knock on wood. Congratulations on your new home, beautiful.

    Yep kinda funny. Speed queen is known for their commercial laundry mat machines. But that's not what you bought. Their residential units are not the same. The residential machines are made in the old Amana factory using a very similar design to the old Amana. When they first got that factory from whirlpool they simply resumed production of the old Amana machine with a new name. And those were old school. But the government got a hold of them and they had to make changes to meet the new energy regulations. So the new units are modified with a new electronic control system. It's got a computer system in the top console and another sitting next to the motor. Definately not old school and not the commercial machine you thought you bought. And recently nominated as worst wash performance by consumer reports. I'll stick with my front loader that will last just as long but has the added benefit of being able to actually wash clothes (without stinking). Not too worried about it breaking down since I've been working as a factory service tech for 16 yrs.

    Never Ever use a dolly on the front of a washer or dryer - only the rear. The reason being is that there's a panel in the center on the front that is just a thin piece of sheet metal with electric boards on it that typically control the motors / agitators. Ever notice that washers and dryers seem to always break or have something wrong AFTER you move them into a new place? This is why friends! Cody, I also can't stand the melody at the end of cycles on new washers and dryers! You have to get their application for your cell phone to turn them on and off on some models like on Samsung washers from Home Depot!

    The fewer digital interfaces, the better. It needs to wash my socks, not land a jet. Technology does NOT always make life easier.

    Your story about the washer and dryer is similar to my microwave story. My parents gave my husband and me a microwave as an engagement gift in December of 1982. It was a new Sears Kenmore (back when that meant something). It had a dial timer, 3 button cook control (High, Medium and Defrost) and a temperature probe (you stick the probe into whatever you are cooking, set the temp probe dial to the temp you want and turn it on. It will cut off when the temp setting is reached). It is HUGE - like 2-3 times the size of a standard microwave. The interior is also very large - it can cook a turkey. AND it still WORKS 37 years later. No digital clock, no digital timer, no automatic settings. Not terribly high powered, but reliable as anything. And we don't have to worry about resetting it if the power goes out. Oh, and our apt. has small versions of the washer and dryer similar to your new set. Knobs and dials, no computer/digital stuff. I like it simple as well.

    I had a similar experience with a high efficiency washing machine that broke down with a computer failure three-years after purchasing it. Even before its complete failure, it never worked well. After that experience, I learned that Speed Queen was the best kept secret in the washer/dryer business.

    I recommend Speed Queen all the time. I've repaired appliances for over a decade and I can tell you they're the only one built like they used to be!

    As an analog guy living in a digital world, your new washer and dryer set gives me the fizz.

    I absolutely love when you and your wife do a video together. You can just sense the amount of love and joy you bring to each other.

    Great video. I, too, ended up with one of the new HE washers because it has a sanitize feature that I wanted. But it doesn't get clothes as clean as it should. When the dryer broke, I bought a basic model Maytag and it works great. My 92 year old mother has the same Speed Queen for the last 20+ years and swears by it. This video conforms what I will be buying when the time comes. Thanks.

    When I first married my wife, I bought her a new washer and dryer, the first ever washer and dryer she had which was new, not used. She had tears in her eyes and said, "Nothing says love like a new washer and dryer." :-)

    I was just talking about the old school washing machines with a friend from high school yesterday! I have an older GE. He mentioned the Speed Queens. Great minds thinking alike. Thanks. With your large following, maybe we are turning the corner. Bravo!

    Great video with you and your wife together. My sister has our grandmothers OLD “automatic” toaster from the early 1950’s that still works as good today as it did back then. It had a cord replacement a number of years ago because it was the fabric kind (didn’t want a fire). You just can’t wear those old appliances out.
