Speed Queen Dishwasher!
Many years ago about 32 to be exact I remember seeing a speed queen dishwasher model in a local appliance store in Teaneck New Jersey. It was most deffinatly D&M. It was a nice machine with a dial and about 4 pushbuttons. I wish I could see the complete model list they had at the time. The washing machines in the store that were speed queen were solid tubs with leather consoles. Peter | ||

I saw one once too. Never realized Speed Queen made dishwashers. I can't remember seeing a timer, but I remember the buttons were round and slender,4 or 6. It was a white built in. I saw it 8 years ago | ||

Thinking about it more, the door was white, the console was stainless and the word Speed Queed was in big red lettering | ||

The SQ dishwashers were identical to the Modern Maid and Kenmore models made by DM who is now owned by Electrolux.Modern Maid was known best by their "range that washes dishes"They made a gas or electric appliance designed similar to a free standing double oven range but the area where the full size lower oven would normaly be had the full size dishwasher instead.Great idea but the oven was small and not that dependable.They were expensive and not long after Raytheon's purchase of McGraw/Edison's appliance division around 1975,they dissapeared.They continued on with dishwashers under Amana,Speed Queen,Modern Maid and Caloric as well as gas and electric cooking products for Modern Made,Amana,and Caloric.Then around 1987,Raytheon decided to sell out all their appliance companies to go governmental and sold them all to Goodman a huge heating and a/c corporation.Goodman left Speed Queen Modern Maid and Caloric on the table.Then sold the domestic appliance divisions to Maytag not long after Maytag aquired JennAir.This was where it got a little hairy.Amana washers and dryers being a sister company of Speed Queen,were made in the same plant.Speed Queen had become owned by Alliance,a commercial laundry supplier.Alliance made an agreement to allow Amana to use their products and kept their own available only for commercial use.Amana briefly introduced a front loading washer around 1996 but it was a major failier and had many flaws.It was recalled and never to be seen again. Now that all of Maytag and their subsidiaries are owned by Whirlpool,Speed Queen makes a full line of laundry products for the home with a strong 3 year parts and labor warranty and Amana now has a front loading washer with matching dryer(made by Samsung)for unbelievable low prices ($599/washer & $549/dryer)that are available at Home Depot. | ||

No.The ones seen on TPIR were Modern Maid.Let's Make a Deal gave a lot of them away when they were with McGraw Edison.I faithfully watched both Monty Hall and Bob Barker for decades just to drewel over the appliances they'd give away.LMAD gave lots of Speed Queen washers and dryers away as well as complete FRIGIDAIRE kitchen appliance sets in Harvest gold and/or poppy red.They (LMAD)also gave away a lot of Modern Maid range/dishwashers.MM made 3 different models from $1399 to $1999.They also made seperate units to add or replace to older sets.I remember a neighbor who had a FRIGIDAIRE Flair range and instead of a cabinet underneath,they placed a Modern maid dishwasher.

For some reason I'm thinking there was also an exhaust hood that slid out over the burners on the modern maid? Would this be right? Or was it in the slanted part that held the oven to the back of the stove? | ||

~You could also just get the cooktop and oven and the unit would sit on the base cabinet. Speaking of space-savers here is a cooktop and oven that sits atop a coutnertop(workbench). in this case it is over a couter-height undercouter refrigearator. It appears to me to be a Royal-Rose brand cooker from the 1920's or earlier. This BTW, is located in a very swanky portion of Manhattan on a well-known avenue. (NYC rent reguations make the rent of this aparttment FAR FAR FAR FAR below market value. (Dig the aluminum percolator!)

The remodeled version. A cheap 20" (50cm) stove is "dressed up" with a one-piece stainless-steel coutertop. Holes made for element ("burner") wells. Refrigerator is still an undercoutner model. Q: How can one tell that Manahttanites are not expected to cook? A: There is 20a circuit-protection for an appliance that requires at least 40a!
