Hi everyone,

 

I got around to recording a full load in the Speed Queen.

 

If you're wondering what the noises are in the background, I was doing a whites load in the F&P and I sneezed a couple of times!

 

Enjoy.

 

Cheers

Leon

Awesome, thank you! Its always fun to watch and it feel comforting knowing a Speed Queen is in use somewhere. Only killer was the neutral drain, that was painful to watch. (kidding folks, just kidding!) :P I enjoyed that was well :)


How do you like the machine thus far? Is this a 120 volt model? (I ask because I see the model tag, at least from here)

Happy with the machine...

Hi Chet,

 

Yes, very happy with the machine. I do understand however that neutral drain's can be boring to watch...so all good.

 

Yes, this is a 120V US machine that was converted by John L and Jason when I attended the convention last August. I bought the 240V parts designed for the Australian market (including the neutral drain) and had them fitted while still in the US. (same for the stainless steel front loader I bought as well)

 

I still saved a few hundred dollars doing this conversion rather than buying these machines at retail price here in Australia.

 

Cheers

Leon

Great to hear! :) If you are like me you will fall in love with Speed Queen more and more each day. I have the mechanical version of this machine for daily use and I would not trade it for the world. Except perhaps a new in box 70s Maytag center dial lol, but nothing else there after.

A neutral drain is a bit more calm but its no deal breaker for me.


The 240 volt conversion sounds interesting. I had no idea you could do that, but yahhh, Id imagine its cheaper and certainly worth it.

Let us now how you like it compared to traditional Australian front loads.

I wish you all the best, you have impeccable taste in quality. :)

These machines have a fantastic agitator. It can really turn over a large load efficiently. First time I've seen a neutral drain on an SQ. Thanks for posting the video.

FANTASTIC!

I love the Aussie SQ.  I wish we could buy them with neutral drain here in the USA WHERE THEY ARE MADE!  I never understood spin drain, it pushes all the settled out dirt back up into the cleaned load. Love the machine, Cheers from Minnesota.

Speed Queen

Hi Leon.

Loving your video on YouTube. How are you finding the machine.

I have fallen in love with mine, no more waiting for hours to complete a load.

Paul
