Did you know that when you put a lot of crabs in a bucket, they actually don’t try to pull each other down to stop any single one from escaping? That was something we projected onto them based on our own cynical and selfish attitudes. Just another example of anti-crab propaganda that your humble author hopes to challenge.

The top load agitator models from Speed Queen are documented to be rougher than side load designs, but even the side load Speed Queens are purportedly less gentle than, say, a Miele.

This is a rather scathing review: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/speed-queen-review/

But even if you don't trust Wirecutter's takes, there are various anecdotes interspersed throughout the internet with similar stories, for example: https://reddit.com/r/Appliances/comments/wcvl5n/speed_queen_washer_dryer_may_not_be_for_you/

However, if you just wash regular t-shirts and jeans then they are unlikely to get damaged.

Speed Queens last a long time and are easy to fix but they are immensely wasteful in terms of water usage, are more likely to damage clothes, and may not actually be that good at cleaning. So if your priority is BIFL over everything else, they are good.

Otherwise, I would personally recommend Miele or Bosch which are well made but efficient and gentle.

I did it intentionally to be ironic haha but it is also valid Singlish: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/corright

Spelling it correctly helps future people who are searching for opinions on products on this subreddit, making the post more useful overall. It would be nice if people would put in the minimal amount of effort necessary to spell things corright.

it's Le Creuset not Le Crueset lmao. OP makes one typo and a whole chain of comments just gets it wrong too smh
