interesting theory....and there could be others as well...only time will tell...
as were not why exactly they did a change over of the TLer for 2018....as if they wanted to get out of the Residential lineup, they could have stopped at the 2017 model....then again, maybe the 2018 model will only show up in hotels/businesses/commercial coin op type of service... possibility of too many regulations from the DOE, not worth the hassle of dealing with a residential setup..... machines put into Commercial use, such as a laundromat don't seem to be governed with strict regulations like a home machine.... from a business standpoint, it has always been better to deal with Commercial clients, rather than residential customers...if you were running a business, and had to dal with both, I KNOW which one you would prefer... | ||

I see absolutely no difference between this machine and Eugenes. The only difference here was that extra rinse was selected. That's more water than even I'm comfortable using. | ||

Speed Queen 2018 comparison! 
From my viewing and watching a few GM adjtub videos I did observe some turnover! My point is if SQ designed a different agitator for this machine it might work better! Any opinions or input?

Wow, I'd be thrilled if my MT came even close to that performance. If that's the new SQ I'm pretty impressed. | ||

It's strikingly similar to the rollout of emissions regs on gas vehicles and later diesel vehicles. The first emissions saddled vehicles were terrible but automakers eventually got it right. Diesel regs came later and they're still figuring that out with SCR and Urea, EGR, and DPF and trying to cheat but getting caught. The point is the 2018 SQ may be a misstep as they're figuring out how to maintain cleaning performance of pre-2018 machines while meeting 2018 regs and I hope they'll get it right eventually. SQ's quality doesn't seem to be in doubt these are well-built machines that will last they just need to get the cleaning thing down which is kind of important for a washing machine. It's nice to see the SQ commitment to quality continue but the best build longest lasting machine isn't worth much if it won't clean well.
The 2017 Speed Queens or 2015 or earlier depending on perspective are the holy grail of pre-2018 DOE regs machines like the 2006 Chevy LBZ Duramax, Ram Cummins 5.9 and earlier mechanical version, and Ford ummm well the 7.3 was great but that 6.0 not so much. | ||

What kind of dirt exactly lies on those jeans? Are the "wet" spots some kind of stains or are they just wet? If the stains were severe then wow it did a great job! If not, not so. Fresh mud shouldn't be a chalange. I allways judge a washer based on the ability to spotless wash whites without bleach.

How much wash water turbulence does the change in rotation direction cause, and how effect is that turbulence to cleaning the cloths? That is my question on the new SQ. What if it actually cleans most dirt from most cloths better, but does so in less dramatic a fashion unpleasing to those used to standard TL washer dynamics? That's what I wonder about this design and others like it. If it is, "just an H-E TL washer", at least it will be a reliable long lived one...can we say that? | ||

How many gallons of water did this cycle use? I went to the TR7 page at the Speed Queen website and clicked on "specs", but there are no specs there. | ||

Water usage is easy-enough to check. I think anyone asking the question understands that the precise usage will vary per the load size (absorption and all that). Determining what is the per-gallon fill at each of the three levels is sufficient info. Set it to run with the water supply turned off and fill it manually with a gallon jug until agitation starts. Have a helper or two and two or three jugs to keep it going consistently. | ||

Or put gallon or 5 gallon markings in a trash barrel and measure what comes out as it drains after filling without any fabrics in it at various water level settings, if it has any. | ||

Warm Warm It looks like you can select Warm Wash Warm Rinse. That is very nice and something I cannot do with my AWN 432, all rinses are cold. | ||

 Remember Betty Furness and her famous "sand test" for Westinghouse? I'd like to see a "Kleenix Test" with one of these new Speed Queens. Toss in half a box (family-size is OK) and stand back. I'll bet every tissue would remain in one piece...maybe the used ones wouldn't be completely clean...but they wouldn't be torn. Now there's a real accomplishment.

Try a whirlpool cabrio, i bet half the tissues won't even get wet, the other half will be torn to shreds, but nobody wants to talk about those pieces of junk. | ||
