My 17 year old Maytag Neptune washer started acting up. Did a little Google research and decided that it wouldn't be worth fixing if it died completely. Sold the set for $150 on Facebook-told the buyer how the washer was behaving and that while it was working for now, might not for long. BUT the dryer was fine.

I had my mind made up that I was going to buy a Speed Queen, then I priced them. I ended up with another Maytag front loader. It seems to do a good job, it's only seen a couple loads. Only been in the house for 2 days.

Quality of the local dealer was the deciding factor. Local appliance shop that actually services what they sell and stocks some parts. Been dealing with them nearly 40 years, I asked them what they recommended as the most dependable and bought the one they said. They had it in stock and would have installed it but they were booked for a couple days and I was impatient. Their price was the same as Home Depot or Lowes or Best Buy.
