Hey
Well after having constant problems with the Simpson machines that my company put in all of its care homes, the management rang us the other day to inform us that the company was putting more money into appliances for their homes and we were to expect a new washing machine from 'Clean Speed' this week. Now i figured from what they called it they meant Speed Queen (or at least I hoped). Lo and Behold I get to work today to find a brand new latest model Speed Queen sitting in the laundry. This model does not have a manual timer, it just has a selector much the same as the front loading range of these machines. What threw me was the option for High Efficiency or Regular. I guessed it meant that with Regular you gained a Deep Rinse instead of perhaps a loooong spray rinse for HE. Turns out that I was right but also the High Efficiency option also extends the wash by 30 minutes. Adding in two 15 minute soaks into the wash phase, hence the writing on the describing this. Also the fill flume is in a different location to other S/Queens i have seen. Its now located to the left of the tub and shoots out towards the back of the tub. Heres a pic of the console.

This is the interior, much the same as other S/Queens but notice the indent for the fill flume on the left.
ALso this machine doesnt skimp on water on the Regular cycle either, fills right up to just touching the bottom of the fabric softener cup (ooo matron!) when on Extra Large. I heard other speed queens fill up to less than that for an Extra Large load. Now i didn't start this wash my colleague did, i know better than to chuck detergent on the top like that lol. Put the machine through a few cycles, very impressed, very quiet as well i noticed. Seems to spin so much drier than our last machine as well. No cool down on the Perm Press wash was something a noted as well. ANyway thats all for now :-) Matty

I'm glad it fills to the top of the tub. Speed Queens are built like tanks, and hopefully it will prove itself to be more reliable under heavy use than the Simpson was. You're probably right not to mess with the lid switch in the work environment. It would be bad news if someone got hurt. Thanks for the photos!
