Well, it's been a long time since I did a video...and I wanted to do something different. So, I couldn't think of a better short film subject than Laundry Day! And there is nowhere else on earth that this video will be more appreciated than with my friends on here. I hope you enjoy.

The agitation speed seems slower than in your other washer videos of the speed queen....was it on the slow speed cycle? maybe it needs a new belt... |

Would it be a good investment? how long do they usually last? i just want a washer that wont break within the first 4 or 5 years lol i have had my fair share of them and frankly quite fed up with the quality of appliances these days..... |

Thanks for the advice, what is the brand of that beautiful pale blue powder you use? and the softener? i would like to try them if they also give good results and rinse out good....main reason i don't like powder is because it always seems to stick to my clothes even when i follow the instructions right..... |

Hey Dan what a very nice video true quality. I could smell the detergent when you poured it and felt like I was right there in your home.. a little typeing ,vacuuming and all the while paying attention to the wash THAT's Laundry is right.
Well a couple of day's ago I convinced my buddy to get a Speed Queen for his duplex where he rents out saying that they always call him because the Whirlpool DD washer would walk across the floor. And sadly so.. they do.
So through everybody's excitment on here about this machine and you.. your the one that really put a great face on this machine, we got the washer . AWN311 is the one I picked put I don't thank the need more options. So I made my buddy watch three videos of yours witch are GREAT by the way. So I watched them 30 times lol.
Mike Malcolm Jon and others where an insperation as well. I no this washer is not walking and it is a strong unit.
I talked to Martin today we both chatted you up on how nice your SQ videos are and thanks.
Fuller products my grandmother swore on that brand of goods. She always got the Fuller mops from the catalog and some cleaning supplies. Never seen or used the softner how is it and the smell of the softner ?
Here is the model like you dont no lol.

And this one... any other washer including some front loaders
will puke on all the water coming out of heavy fabrics when spinning This pump really had NO problem pushing that water right out without dragging. Very strong ! Now I cant wait to see it in real action this week. I'm going to tweak the water level and bypass the lid switch. Darren k This post was last edited 03/19/2012 at 22:16 |

The Fuller softener has a wonderful, old-school smell to it. It's a bit flowery, but very old fashioned smelling. It is very concentrated--almost a gel. I pre-mix it before measuring it out since it so thick--if I don't, it sticks to the dispenser. It's actually very dark blue--what you see is the diluted version. I don't use it as my daily driver, but I do like to use it on sheets and towels. I have a house full of Fuller products - mostly because they are old fashioned and look and work the way they did 50 years ago. Don't mess with what works. They are online as well.
The Speed Queen has never walked on me - make sure they install those "magical" rubber caps on the washer legs and level that puppy! Thanks for the kind remarks on the videos. When I was in the market several years ago, there wasn't much out there...so I decided to "pay it forward" as they say to some other shopper. As we all know, Speed Queen doesn't advertise...so I wanted to help the next guy out. Here's hoping to much success with the 311...and that it may last two decades for you! P.S. Don't forget to "prime the pump" on the Speed Queen -- 1+ quart of water before you turn it on. |

Great video! Really well put together, I like the music too. Some day I will get my hands on a SQ washer, they don't exist here in Nova Scotia. PS, nice Oreck. |

Fuller detergents - (especially the powder) remind me of original Amway SA8, Charlie's Soap, and Watkin's detergents. White, no residual smell, and seem to clean as well as the others and have that "boiled wash" feel when the clothes are finished (with no fabric softener used).
I like the liquid version as it makes a lot of bubbles--lol. I don't use it as my daily driver, but I do like to use them on occasion. The pre-treaters they sell seem to be effective and for unique situations (like gum). Darren, to prime the pump, just dump in 1+ quarts of water into the washbasket and turn the machine on. That's all there is to it. The back of the installation manual has a checklist of things to do before turning the machine on - also make sure the shipping plug is out of the bottom and of course the top (hard to miss that one). |
