I always do an extra rinse. We have sensitive skin here and I just like to make sure ALL detergent is rinsed cleanly out. And for a FL it's not a lot of extra water to do an extra rinse. The LG allows you to add up to 2 extra rinses and I will add both extra rinses for heavily soiled loads where I use extra detergent.
If I had a SQ, I wouldn't do the extra rinse because so much more water is used for the rinse to begin with.
We have the old model Speed Queen and have had it for 5 years and are super happy it. It fits a lot of stuff like the others have said. I use the extra rinse when I use bleach or I accidentally left a load of wash in the washer over night and want to do a rinse/dry cycle only. My Speed Queen cycle takes about 30 minutes. I mainly use regular wash for everything.
We do have an Electrolux dryer and other than it being huge (front to back) it has been awesome we have had it almost 7 years.
If I buy another front loader I will buy an Electrolux (mainly because the Speed Queen front loafers are cost prohibitive at $2000 iirc).
