wow!
Great pics and great machine. i love how it swamps the Liberator! Hows the agi at cleaning? I always worry with them straight ones they dont get good rollover like a Spiralator - maybe its the Hotpoint in me LOL! have fun playing, got a washer in the Villa we are staying in so will be sure to get some pics of that if I get chance to play. Dunno whether to expect a TL or an Automatic. Suprises Suprises! Just praying its not a cold wash machine like they have in Brazil. Its too close for my liking so could very well be! Catch ya later x Rob

You know that modern Speed Queen washers like that one are made by some company called Continental Girbau. | ||

question for the US experts: Does the agitation in this model seem a little faster than the US machines? i love the full water level. many laundry operators have theirs set to less than full, from what ive seen. | ||

So your saying that Continental Girbau is made by a company called Alliance? | ||

Nope... Continental Girbau is it's own company. They are based in Spain, and their offices here are in Wisconsin and Florida. Overseas, they are simply "Girbau". In the USA, they are "Continental". They do not make topload washers and they do not make any dryers. Continental Girbau gets their topload washer from Alliance and puts their own name on them. Alliance is the makers of SQ, Huebsch, Unimac, Cissell and Ipso (amongst other industrial brands -- kinda like Whirlpool snatching up brands and other competitors). Continental Girbau dryers are from Dexter. | ||

Speed Queen Sounds Sounds similar to the commercial units available in our apartment building, which is about three years old. Thanks for sharing.--Laundry Shark | ||

Mark, Glad you like your machine! How long is the rinse on this guy? I don't know if they still do this, but SQ used to make 2 different mechanical timers for these machines. One has a shorter wash cycle for use in coin laundries where time is at a premium, and the other is longer for OPL and route machines, which it appears that you have, since the total cycle time is over 30 mins with fills. | ||

Hi Peter, Jon Peter the rinse on the speed queen is 3 minutes I think (agitation time). Thought it would be a quick 1 minute job so was pleased when it took longer. Thanks Jon. Im still amazed by this machine and really enjoy using it. Mark | ||
