I have a TC5/DC5 set. They are basic tanks—like, super basic—so if you want more features, definitely look into their other models.

That being said, I got mine because I don’t wear incredibly expensive clothing with technical fabrics and I like basic, no-fuss, easy-to-fix appliances that will last forever (all SQs do, but the TC5/DC5s, especially).

Yes, the memory of what used to be. I had an old Amana washer the looks a lot like the Speed Queen here, and it lasted a good 18 or so years. When I finally had to replace it, I went back to the same appliance shop and asked for something similar and the salesman actually told me “they don’t make them to last like that anymore; you’ll be lucky to get 5 years out of these new ones.”

THAT is why we love the old style ones.
