Goodbye Speed Queen

I need to document some special details about my old washing machine.  We got it for like twenty dollars from a random person who we were buying a TV stand from.  They happened to have a washing machine that they were also getting rid of, and Scott didn't have one at the house.  Perfect!
 
Well, the washing machine (model name: Speed Queen) was not the best.  It typically got stuck on the rinse cycle and it kind of leaked out the bottom.  And  yet, we were very capable of switching it to the spin cycle, and there was a drain right next to the leak, so we decided it was good enough. 
 
3 years went by, and we moved to the new house.  The new house had everything we ever wanted.  Except for a drain right next to our leaky washer.  So, that was a problem.  Why all houses don't have built in leaky-washer drains, I don't know.  So that was the end of the Speed Queen right there.  It never even got hooked up. 
 
Now let me tell you about the new washer.  It is fancy.  Actually it is not fancy, but compared to the Speed Queen, it's SUPER fancy.  It tells me exactly how many minutes are left in the cycle.  It has a bedding cycle.  The knob can turn clockwise or counterclockwise (blew my mind).  It sings a little song when it's done.  I can read all of the settings on the dial.  It doesn't leak.  It can complete a cycle all on its own.  What I'm saying is, my quality of life drastically increased with this new washing machine.
