Reply to comment by S1rrTumnus in An Xbox controller that doesn't break just from normal use by cone8042
This is pretty brain dead comment. I had the same experience as OP from an hour - 2 a day use while I was in school and still very busy. Guessing you haven’t used elite controllers or are over 40 and don’t game at all.

I got tired of fixing my washer so I picked up a matching set from speed queen and they've been rock solid. Worth the money.

When I played console I had the same issue. Unfortunately the console market and the high end gnawing market don’t really overlap a ton. If I still wanted to use a controller I’d probably try a scuff.
Edit: I’d try a different sub op

What vintage electronics beat today's? I don't see many any kids playing Pong on Ataris these days...

Mine is in storage. I'd pay $5000 in storage fees just to ensure I have her.

We like our house and everything inside to be clean. We’re both in healthcare and aren’t interested in bringing the plague home with us.

Man, Samsung should be barred from selling appliances. They are the worst of the worst. Godspeed on your future washer.

I keep hearing people say “they’ll shorten the lifespan of your clothes!” but I haven’t noticed a damn thing. Without any data to back it up, that statement is just anecdotal hogwash.

I don't care much for features. Just dependable and easy to repair. Read over the TC5 user guide, looks to have everything I need. Thankfully the mrs also agrees that all the extra features are unnecessary.

Good for you.
We've had this same unit for a few years. It's a real work horse and has been trouble free. It replaced a maytag that was probably 20 years old. Hope to get the same life out of this one.

2 people with 10 different loads? That’s one way to waste water I guess

Because they actually effing clean things. I got tired of having soap residue on my clothes, and having washing machines that had unreasonable repair costs, and pathetic longevity.

Are those all separate loads? If so that’s kinda insane but you do you

Vintage everything is where it's at. Used furniture, clothing, electronics, etc. are generally higher quality than new items.
Plus it's (usually) cheaper and better for the environment.

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.
