My apartment doesn't come with a washer and dryer only the hookups. I have thought about getting a new washing machine but I just can't bring myself to do it until this one wears out. Remember I am the one that mopped up after the top loader I had before this one for a good year before I gave up. The few old style agitator type top loading machines are actually the top selling machines, I seen that on Consumer Reports. If that continues maybe more companies will give in and start offering at least one model like that. I would gladly spend the extra for a Speed Queen because they are still the old fashioned agitator machines. Unfortunately no one in this area sells them. They are only available through one rent to own place and I am not going to pay that price for a washing machine.
