Not sure if there is a reserve on this machine. If not, it could be a good deal.

Hi Malcolm. I was just looking at these. Going to put a watch on this on ebay for a day. Does this machine have the hot water boost? Also....does it put a fair amount of water in it, like at least up to the bottome of the door? THanks so much Ray | ||

At 2.4 cu ft. capacity, it's quite small. I'm not sure that's such a great price. Small capacity, no heater, uses not enough water.... no thanks. | ||

Hi Guys. Thanks for the info on the temp boost. How do you know which one has the temp boost though? Is it a certain model? Thanks again. Ray | ||

If your water heater is set high enough and you clear the line of cold water before starting the washer, lack of a heater should not be a problem. If you need really hot water, you could always fill the machine with hot water to heat up the tubs and then do a cancel/drain and then start it with the load. | ||

Speed Queen Imperials
I have the Speed Queen Imperial set. When I got them 2 years ago, I was concerned that results would suffer because no heating element to boost the hot water temp. After a few months, I realized that my laundry is just as clean as it was with the heater in the LG set I gave away.
Although I still have a mild fascination with the Boosted Hot machine, frankly, I am doing fine without it. Malcolm | ||

Hi Malcolm. So you can adjust the water level on the front loader? I thought that was just for the top loader, but I may be wrong. If that is so, can you post here or send to my email? Thanks so much for your help. Ray PS: Did you adjust the water level in your machine? | ||

 When I was looking for a new machine, I looked specifically at the SQ FL machines. I liked them because you could get front or back controls, so it wouldn't look dorkey next to a standard dryer. Metal outer tub, SS drum. Overall simplicity of the machine.
I disliked them because of their capacity, No hot water boost (without special order in our location) and water usage was set at 13 gallon fill regardless of the load, no smart fill. So you used 13 gallons of water if you were washing your comforter or a pair of lace undergarments. Then there was the price. I got my Maytag 5000 Professional Series Washer/Dryer and pedistals for what the SQ washer alone would have cost.

Water Usage
The water level is fixed in most machines. It fills to a preset level and only adds more for absorption. 13 gal is the minimum based on no absorption.
The SQ machines aren't for everyone. Bling is minimal to nonexistant. I liked the SQ machine because it is so simple and the integrated paddles in the drum are deep and really agitate the water. Plus, they are built to be serviced and not discarded. To each his own though. Malcolm | ||

I think if you look at the very, very plain control panel and contrast it with the controls of other brands with displays and readouts, prompts, options and messages you will understand the lack of bling. I don't even think this machine has a bell, much less a whistle. | ||

SQ Front Loaders = Laundromat/Commercial Washers
Once you wrap your head around that fact and act accordingly you'll understand SQ front loaders. If one can live with those limitations of design and or that is up your street, then have at it.
However as with laundromat washers you'll need a good supply of *HOT* water to reach the machine if that is the temp desired. Commercial laundries often have recirculation pumps on their hot water feed lines to keep things moving. Homeowners will probably have to resort to the old "dishwasher' trick of running a nearby tap to purge the line first. | ||
