Cindy...For what it's worth here is the Model # AWN432SP111TW01...Commercial Heavy Duty
Super Capacity Plus 2 Speed Stainless Steel. Because they are classed as a Commercial machine
they circumvent some of the governmental regulation concerning water use and electricity use...
or so I'm told. They came in 3 sizes and and this one was the middle size. I washed my 100 inch
square "Easy Street" Quiltville Mystery quilt with no trouble at all. I love my machine ! I have a
friend who bought the larger one...loves it , doesn't miss her front loader at all !!

Thanks, Marilyn, I should have remembered that. I've been wondering about Speed Queen! Thanks.

Oh, Golly ! Please use the search function for a thread "washing machine"...you'll find a terrific discussion !!

And take my word for it....I had a horrible experience !....SpeedQueen makes a wonderful machine ! Large...water control
both heat and quanity, agitation..etc !! I've had mine a while and LOVE it !!

I am shopping for a new washer and need advice. I want to be able to put a full size quilt in it and make sure it is fully saturated and rinsed while preventing colors being deposited where they don't belong. I am afraid the new high efficiency washers won't keep the dye, (if any) suspended because there is not enough water. And then, on a less important note, I need something that will clean my husbands very dirty cloths. I have found a few of the non high efficiency washers, but they aren't big enough and some still don't use a lot of water. Any advice, suggestions or experiences?
