I don't need anecdotes - I have direct experience. My Speed Queen washes fine. I wash lots of different kinds of clothes from different age groups. Sometimes I have 10 people in the house and someone is always doing laundry.

I don't think Wirecutter is much of a source and I stopped reading The NY Times a long time ago. I've got my own data. Of course you don't have to buy a Speed Queen, it's just something that has worked well for me for several years.

Well that’s very… open-minded of you!

You know your direct evidence is the definition of anecdotal evidence, yes?

If you think calling a set of observations over time is an "anecdote" ok, but I disagree. It's objective evidence. My clothes are fine. There is nothing more to say. I didn't say every Speed Queen is the same as mine. But I have yet to see an owner say their clothes were torn up.

Are you a auditor by the way or in QA? Interesting invoking the term objective evidence

Personal experience is more valuable to me as well…
