I’ve owned LG appliances, Samsung appliances, GE appliances and even Maytag appliances. They don’t make them like they did 30 years ago to last 20 years. The average life expectancy on any of these appliances is roughly 5 to 7 years. I moved into my house that had generally new appliances and I’ve had to replace the built-in microwave, the stove/oven And an LG refrigerator that had a 10 year warranty that had the compressor go out in four years. LG did not wanna honor the warranty because it said that it would not be able to replace that same type of machine. After going round and round and arguing back-and-forth, they finally paid me about half of what I paid for it. so I spent $1600 on a refrigerator that four years later they replaced it with giving me a check for $920. Needless to say I don’t buy LG appliances anymore. Samsung had a lot of issues but they did send a repairman out, but from time to time we still get Issues with that appliance. Knock on wood I’m having good luck with my GE refrigerator. The only issue I have with this particular model is the speed and the size of the ice cubes are not worth the icemaker. Icemakers in general are a problem in most brand of refrigerators. It’s better to just buy a 10 or 20 pound bag of ice and keep it in a Standup freezer.

From all the research I've done and what I've personal heard myself from an appliance technician, there is no competition for the speed queen brand. We just bought the speed queen FF7009BN front loader and we are hoping it will show us why their brand is so praised. That being said, the first day we use it, it has minor leakage in two areas, the detergent drawer and the bottom of the tub door. They said they will likely have to send a replacement unit, because that's what they had to do last time, you can't fix it on the spot. Not the best introduction to the brand, but if the replacement does well, I will be at ease. If the replacement fails us, I will surely be pissed off.

Great question, LG was arguably the first to refer to the motor design as “direct drive” however the overall design was originally made by Fisher and Pakel in the 90s. They referred to the design as “smart drive”

I recently purchased the 5.3 GE Profile Smart Ultra-fresh Front load Washer. After pulling out the dispenser detergent tray after every wash at least 1/4 cup of water leaks into the tub. I need to open and close the dispenser tray at least 3 times before the water leak completely stops. Have you heard of or encountered this issue with this unit? I recently sent a video to GE Corporate and they claim this is not a known issue with this unit. I am being advised to call a GE technician for service under my warranty plan. I sure would appreciate any information you may have on this issue.

I'm a bit frustrated with. my purchase. I've had this exact washer for 5 months and I noticed it makes a really high pitch sound after a load.... but yesterday it was making a squeaking noise while on the rinse cycle. It was loud enough for me to hear it halfway across the laundry room. The noise was similar to an ungreased gear or something. Definitely not a good sign, especially from a 5 month old machine!

From my experience SQ’s warranty isn’t that great.. on both of my machines they sent someone out once a month to install one part to try and fix it, which left me without a working washer for almost 5 months at a time The “warranty” is also just a 3rd party insurance policy SQ uses. So they have to inquire to pay for parts and such, which slows down the process. It’s really the same as just buying the warranty package at extra cost for a different brand because SQ just adds to the price of their machines to pay for the warranty.

@@DylBuilder1 100% agree. I had a top-load Speed Queen (the original one) with a seven-year warranty. On year 8 it rusted out and leaked water all over my floors. My husband took it out, took it apart to fix it and it was very rusted. The knob to turn for the cycles wore out too. I got overcharged for the replacement knob and the three trips the appliance repair person took ($325). I will never buy a speed queen in my life. A 3.2-foot capacity drum is horrible for families. Overpriced crap. I'm very happy with my LG top load washer that I got for $550.

Will you please do a tutorial on how to drain the SQ? The SQ tub is tilted down and back for proper drainage unlike all the other machines. I know that it can be drained if wanted as well by removing the front panel and that’s where I get lost. I’ve had them All SQ is the best. The rest are made of poor quality materials (plastic) and need to be replaced every 5 years taken care of diligently and properly. They are made purposefully that way. Just my opinion. Thank you for your review.
