Speed Queen FF7 Front Load Washer vs LG Front Load Stackable Smart Washer

Buy the Speed Queen FF7 if you want the longest-lasting, simplest-to-repair front loader and don't need a huge drum. Buy the LG if you want more capacity, steam, and app and voice control for a busy household. The Speed Queen is commercial-grade with a 5-year parts and labor warranty and a 1 HP variable-speed motor; owners report very long service life. The LG is a 4.5 cu ft smart machine with steam and stacking, but its electronics and larger drum mean more to go wrong.

• Choose the Speed Queen FF7 if durability, a long warranty and simple mechanical controls matter more to you than capacity or smart features.
• Choose the LG if you wash large loads, want steam and remote start, and plan to stack the washer and dryer.
