I recall reading some high praise for this brand of washer here in

change. Has anyone got any recent experience with this brand?

Some cut.

Consumer Reports listing of most reliable, in order: Speed Queen,
Roper, Maytag, Samsung, Whirlpool, Kenmore, GE, LG.

Does the article mention which washers have mechanical dial control as
an option? I know SQ does for residential models.

The SQ AWN 542 has good, old fashioned dials on it. The other
SQ washers that they show have push buttons.

I was trying to find out if other brands in the article have "good,
old fashioned dials on it".

I do not have an account of CR so I was just asking.

Whirlpool WTW4850BW
Amana NTW4755EW
Maytag Centennial MVWC415EW
Kenmore 22342
Kenmore 22102
GE GTWP1800D[WW]
Hotpoint HTWP1400FWW
GE GTWN2800D[WW]
Whirlpool WTW4815EW
Kenmore 22332
Kenmore 20222
Maytag Centennial MVWC215EW
Whirlpool WTW4715EW
Amana NTW4605EW
Speed Queen AWN542
Frigidaire FFTW1001PW
Maytag Centennial MVWC200X[W]
Kenmore 23102
Amana NTW4651BQ 2 other Amanas have no picture
Admiral ATW4676BQ
Roper RTW4641BQ

These are top loaders with agitators. The highest rated are at the top.
I didn't do anything except look at the pictures.

Bear in mind whirlpool, amana, kenmore, roper and maytag are all the
same people and share the same basic running gear.

My wife has a washer in a cart barn that does at least 10 loads of
towels a day. She decided it was cheaper in the long run to buy a
$350 whirl pool every 18 months (as soon as it burps) than to pay
$1800 for a speed queen that might last 4 or 5 years but it might crap
out earlier.
Fixing them seldom actually justifies paying the bill for a service
call.
