I did - I bought a Speed Queen set. To be fair, mine was a set of used units, but after reading thousands of these anecdotes across the internet, I knew that they were easily rated for 10k+ loads.

The part that was true - they're built like tanks. The part I didn't expect - they're super rudimentary machines. They're loud and not particularly efficient.

I had mine for just over a year before my wife voluntold me to find something else.
