Nor has there ever been in the terms of reliability than the SQ FL. They are also designed to be fixed. Figure at least double the lifespan than your MT gave. Just stay away from the mechanical controls as opting for them shortens the warranty by 2 years. I bought this set and could not be happier. WK78

I'd opt for the electronic controls too, they give more features and add a little sophistication to these machines. And if you are looking at the FL machines, the 'mechanical' control is just a computer with a knob anyhow, only the TL machines had a mechanical clock timer anymore.
A FL machine is much simpler then a TL machine, there is no transmission and the main seal is above the water line. They are worth repairing when and if they fail, the TL machine may be cost prohibitive to repair in the event of a failure. I won't open the can of worms in wash performance comparison, but I wouldn't buy the TL machine for that reason. |

I think I will skip the stack able. I dont want one unit and I envisioned being able to separate them. |

The stacked set comes apart for delivery and service. It is pretty neat how they are built together. I really wish speed queen would have shared power between the dryer and washer, but they require 110 and 220. You take the front panel off the dryer, unbolt the dryer, un hook the harness that connects to the dryers control panel and slide the dryer off.

Eugene, if they'd put in an onboard heater, that would significantly help. I've had a front loader without and one with. I'll never have a front loader without an onboard heater again. I keep my water heater at 120. I'd rather have the washer heat the water than my electric water heater. That's the only reason I didn't consider a Speed Queen in 2011. |

Since I cant pick the dryer off the washer by myself jkbff, I will get the side by side's. I'm looking at Model # AFNE9BSP113TW01 washer. And Model # ADGE9BGS113TW01 gas drier.. Any objections, or comments? Thanks everyone! |

Just what I wanted to say; just follow the manufacturers advice on the bottle and adjust according to results. 1 TBSP seems to little, and the dispenser fill line is most likely ment for powder. |

Is perfectly fine for your machine. Here is the detergent information from the owner's manual.
The detergent compartments are located on the right side of the dispenser drawer. The front compartment is for detergent used in the main wash. Refer to compartment 1 of illustration. If a prewash is selected, liquid wash detergent added to the main wash compartment may run into the load during the prewash. To avoid this, use powdered detergent in the main wash compartment when selecting a prewash. The rear compartment can be filled with detergent for the pre-wash if one is selected on the control panel. Refer to compartment 4 of the illustration. Use low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) powdered or liquid detergents that are recommended for use with frontload washers. Powdered bleach can also be used in the dispenser along with the detergent. |
