I bought a new Alliance-Speed Queen pair about two years ago. Thoroughly pleased. They are SOLID! I visited some competition at the stores and they seem so flimsy in construction. .... and I've never had an unbalanced load in my new Speed Queen washer... I just wish they'd made something additional - like a dishwasher or something. I want to buy more of their well-made product but have no use for another (new/everyday) washer or dryer. |

Here's the interior shot. This dryer is SNO (standing - not operating - yet)! But it still works great! - Mike |

To reduce the file size of photos you are trying to upload do the following: Reduce photos to 800x600 Reduce the number of colors to 256. Most people can't tell the difference, but the file size will drop considerably! |

I don't know what it is... but my apt. complex and college dorms all had SpeedQueen machines, and they were ALWAYS broken. What's up with that? At the public Maytag laundromat I've only seen a very small handful of broken machines...maybe 1 every other week. I don't know... but SpeedQueens don't impress me. Unless you can show me an "under the panel" shot of their durable mechanics and sway me...I'll stick with Maytag. |

Raytheon's Alliance Laundry division had the Speed Queen and Amana brands amoung others. When Raytheon got out of the commercial and domestic laundry business it sold off the Alliance division. Maytag ultimately ended up with the Amana brand, and Alliance Laundry with Speed Queen. A non-conpetitive agreement was reached where each would staff of the other's patch for a period of time. That is Alliance would not sell Speed Queen laundry appliances for domestic use, but only commercial. IIRC that agreement ended in 1997, or thereabouts hence the return of Speed Queen laundry appliances to the domestic market. Maytag tried various methods to stop Alliance, even legal action, but lost.

Hi Lee, According to the manual, the heavy cycle has a 15 minute wash time. I don't own a video camcorder (yet) but I'll see if I can borrow one and upload some real action shots. - Mike |

Hey Pulsator, No, the agitator from the HA7001L will not fit on the new AWS76NW as it has a much deeper tub (super capacity) and therefore the agitator will not reach all the way down to tub. Thanks for asking though! Mike |

Hi Mike! Gorgeous SQ's! I am from a Matyag household, but I always loved my aunt's late 60's SQ. They really are beautiful machines, and built so well. Good choice for your new ones, and keep those oldies but goodies! Bobby in Boston |

I think that this Speed Quees VS Maytag Video will explain all you need to know between a great beast of a machine (Speed Queen) and all the others. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bferrari's LINK |
