But its too bad that they are not pushing the Front Load SQs more with a similar promotion. They even admit that the TLers are designed for only around 10,000 loads, while they claim that the FLers are good for around 25,000 loads, 10,000 loads is no better than a Miele and probably not much better than most Whirlpool washers being built today.
Speed Queen Combo, Yes Thanks To Jon C. [ jetcone ] we have a SQ Combo in the museum collection. While I was glad to see they saved one, I was also disappointed to find out that we did not have the only one left, LOL. SQ was the LAST US manufacturer to introduce the combo around 1961 and by this time some manufacturers were already thinking of discontinuing them, partly because of the Eisenhower recession that the US was still recovering from. The SQ combo was the same basic design as the Hotpoint combo that was only on the market for barely two years starting in 1957. SQ reduced the size of HPs combo design from 30" wide to only 25,1/2 " wide making the SQ the smallest Combo made in the US, and they called it the Compact Combo, I would love to someday learn the story of how HPs design made it over into SQs hands. Like the HP the SQC was only made as a water condensing electric no-vent machine. |

...with an impeller? I never saw it in the GE Hydrowave in the basement. The only thing that washer is good for is spinning out clothes after I've washed them properly in my Maytag. |

out of the comparison to the "eco friendly" washer. Well, I use the term washer lightly in this instance. |
