The SQ as with most US TL's does not have a heater. If you want to do hot washes, it will need to be connected to your home's hot water system. For a true hot wash the system should be able to supply 20 gallons of (60c) water. However, these machines, given the proper detergent, can wash clothes well in warm (40c) and cool (20c) water.

Would you believe there was a Speed Queen washer on ebay which just closed. I do not want to post the full link again if it has already dropped off Shoppers Square but if you search on item number 171287550979 you should find it. The list closed without meeting the reserve which I presume was near the £700 BIN. The washer was branded Huebsch which is the brand name of Speed Queen in Canada. A quick google search indicates that they are available new and there is no indication of them needing a transformer - they are sold in Australia though so they would be making 240 50Hz machines for export in any case. Its unlikely you would find any such US washer with a heater, if you feel the need for being able to "boil wash" i think you only option would be a used Hotpoint top loader of which there are still plenty of second hand models around. Just dont be on a water meter is my advice as they use A LOT (and i mean A LOT) of water Good hunting Al |

Where would one get a Fisher & Paykel clothes washer in Europe? I have only ever seen their dishwashers.
