For someone who put their forum name as speedqueen and who didn't own one but longed for one the day finally came!
After a laundry list of repairs the mixing valve assembly started leaking after having been replaced a few years ago my Dad finally agreed to get rid of the shredmore. I am just as impressed as I thought I would be. Their is some equipment settling to wait for such as the drum brake to wear in as it has been doing over the past day that I have owned it, what I mean is that the tub has been slowly indexing. It has been slowly getting less as the brake shoes lose their smoothness. To sum up I am impressed. -Richard Some pictures... |

You made a wise choice. You should get many years out of it. |

Congratulations on the new SQ, it's a fine washer and one that I hope will give you many years of trouble-free clean laundry. Keep us updated on how well you like the new machine and your observations, we'd love to know. |

I just realized why it sounded as thought it needed to "wear in", the blasted installers leveled the machine front to back but not side to side. This also caused the tub to slant during agitation. Well now that I re-leveled the machine the tub has stopped indexing and the squeaks have also.
When some people say "don't "stress the small stuff" I know better! |

Is a horrible waste of water and energy [ to say nothing of excessive wear and tear on the poor washer ] Unless you have really big jeans you shroud be able to wash 6-10 pairs in this washer. I always wash this many in our TL washers and I recycle the wash and some rinse water from our SQ FL machine into the TLer to cut down on the wastefulness of using a conventional TL washer. |
