Comment:
We've owned many washers and dryers for our Nursing home, including the front load Kenmores that came out a few years ago, and the S.Q. is by far superior! It's versitle. It does shake a little because I believe it is spinning the clothes faster than any others. The clothes are dry when done. No water left in them. As a result they dry quicker.
