We are being told by the "powers that be" that high efficiency washers are superior and that agitators tear up our clothes and linens, just like we are being told that gas cooking is toxic, heat pumps are the way to heat homes, water and dry clothes. I have the Maytag Commercial washer (similar to your Speed Queen) and for 5 years have enjoyed clean clothes , washed in 30 minutes, and I don't mind the extra (minimal) water cost. Cheers on your smart decision...should last you 20 plus years.
I just bought this model myself. I am loving it so far.I previously had a whirlpool toploader without an agitator.That Whirlpool was junk, plastic parts and never spun enough of the water out of the clothes, they would take forever to dry. This Speed Queen is awesome, my clothing looks cleaner and they even smell better. It spins the water off the clothing so well, that drying time has improved greatly!
You can bypass the stop function when you open the lid. Easiest way is there is a small metal piece behind the washer just underneath the controls. If you put a clothespin on it, it will keep the washer running with the lid open. There’s also videos on TH-cam on how to do it
I haven't had any issues with it being hard on the clothes. I do love the agitator in the middle! My clothes are cleaner and the washing machine definitely finishes a load quickly!

I previously had a washer without the agitator and I missed it terribly. I can definitely tell a difference and love the quickness!
Lots of luck with it. You made a great choice.
Thank you! I do laundry every day and love it!
