    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.
