Hmpf...

Kind of frustrating. I watched, watched it again, posted it, wanted to watch it again and it went private.
But all you see is basicly a women who had been given a SQ set for free 27 years ago, used it as field tester 'till today and they gave her a set of the new 2015 machines for free again.

That was the wrong agitator for a SQ of that age... Should have had the straight vane agitator with the needle nose cap... Maybe her husband replacing the agitator qualifies still for "no service call"...

I thought the same thing though I was not totally sure.

My Speed Queen  also does have that kind of agitator,  like the  SQ-made amana had  after all ...  but my Speed Queen  is  very special and different than all of her "sisters", it's amanaish as it is a newer model  speed queen but with  a dark heavy porcelain tub like the amana did,  not stainless, so  it was for that reason it also had the old style agitator like amana, even though being a speed queen machine... and  while all of her twin sisters had stainless tubs and the new kind of agi.

They probably used/recycled what they had left from Amana parts to make these Speed Queen  for export, once amana became being made by others, and I don't exclude they were specially made so given the "special"  circumstance, nobody would have cared of the typical SQ stainless basket as long as they were "for free"  .... I explain better: mine comes from a US military base,  machines are raytheon badged internal sticker, they were bought and  imported in lots by US Gov,  to give them  to  military families stationed around the base,  as well as for the whole  base needs.... as I heard it's typical from gov to furnish and provide stationed militaries with appliances and everything they needs, as it's right  to be...


For awhile there were lots of  ads  for cheap  (according to what they costs here)  used  Speed Queen washer and dryers like mine down there in sicily,  sold from militaries coming home back in USA , they all gone in an heartbeat given the super price, you can find nowhere an used one going lower than 500-600 euros... new they cost the double.

I was one of the lucky ones....


Anyway I also initially thought a Speed Queen this old should have had that  kind of agitator as well....as I have seen them having it, but also thought that maybe it was in the years of the switch to the new kind, so certain models did have the old style and others the newers?
Now that I have this confimation from another though, it also confirm my other guess, that  the agitator looks too " new" and shiny to be ever been  used,  that is not impossible but it looks so shiney, and not even a drop  mark or softener signs in the cap, kinda polished, which I doubt they did, so you know what I think?  More likely there was no husband replacing it but it simply was replaced before shooting because the original  was yellowed or something....or simply because a new  one made a better look.

 I have also seen how Speed Queen is rather reluctant when on Facebook I make referements to the old and  different agitators they use...especially when they make the comparisons Commercial=Home use....the commercial ones are not completely identical, they have another kind of agi than domestic use ones...
Anyway....

I am glad mine does have this kind of  older agi, as I think it being the best one....

Well Malcolm, all I can say is WOW! Love the look of both the top and front load models.

Interesting how he talks about the electronic control manufacturer and that mechanical controls will still be available. I hope that allies the fears that some people on this site have about electronic controls.

Didn't hear him say anything about the F/L model having a heater...that would be interesting to know.

I am already in talks with a member from this site about getting the TL set out here to Oz.

Cheers,

2015 Speed Queen Front Load Washer and Dryer

richardlxixxx's profile picture

Malcolm,

 

Thank you for posting the videos.  The new Speed Queen front load looks incredible.  It is about time Speed Queen permitted the end user cycle flexibility.  When it comes time to replace my machines, this is definitely the direction I will go.

 

Stay well,

 

Richard

Observations...

mrb627's profile picture
1) No heater in the washer. (at least not this model)
2) Looks like ATC control in the washer(s)
3) Wonder what the third rinse does on the TL machine.
4) Pre-Wash option on FL is a welcome option!
5) Electronic dryness sensor in the dryer.

I like the "Miele-like" bevel on the FL controls.

I noticed the SPRING & Plastic tub mounts, are these NEW and / or do previous and commercial front loaders use these? I would have expected Gas dampers...

Algorythm`s are good, if they are matched with a good motor, power card and speed controller they provide excellent stability!!

They look easy to understand and use, but then again its nothing we`ve not had here since 1976 albeit with a heater.

Tremendous improvements with flexibility and capacity.  But DAMNIT, STILL NO HEATER.  They dropped the ball on not having a heater in a modern front loader.  Without that, still a front loader that's "challenged".  Just like the guy having difficulty getting their diapers stain free in their SQ FLer without lots of effort because of no heater.  It's a shame SQ discontinued their model with the hot water booster.  I've had a FLer without a heater and won't do that again unless the Eco Nazis take away extra hot washes.

Pulse spins appear to have been replaced with constant spins.
Up to 4 rinses.

No more warm rinse option.

Default?

I notice there are selections on the FL for "Second Rinse" and "Third Rinse..."

Does this mean the default is only a single rinse? (If so, YUCK).

Must also add thats its quite disappointing SQ haven't included a heater in their residential model.
Its nice their is a greater selection of cycles, and more variation in the machine's washing pattern, but we're talking about a washer that is priced similarly, if not more than competing Euro-style washers!* Yet those washers offer far more customisation (flexibility) and a water heater to boot.
Build quality is great, of course, but if the washing isn't as good as it could be (or should be), whats the point of irritating yourself to no end for up to 25,000 cycles?

Before I close, I will admit the drum redesign appears as if it might assist with the washing action. I'd be curious about the water levels these machines use, in the washing and rinsing phases.

*In Australia, last I checked, they were going about $600 more than we bought our Miele W5741 for (about $1800)

Design error. If I select pre-wash and add the fabric softener dispenser in I'll have clothes with fabric softener in the main wash. The top load model should be same as dispenser drawer front load model.

washer111,

most topload washers are a 1 rinse only depending on the model not all model have a second rinse option if the canadien speed queen branded hubesch offers these electronic control topload models in canada i will use only a single rinse the only time i would select a second or third rinse is if i use fabric softner to remove the extra sent left by the fabric softner or if i had to include with the full cycle a prewash or soack time to the main cycle if you look at the picture i posted as an exemple for the old 1993 direct drive model washer you will see no second rinse option

However...

The manual for the front loader poses the option of a 2nd and 3rd rinse. From personal experience, 2 rinses on the Cottons cycle (F/L) with a reduced detergent dosage aren't even enough, let alone one. Even three isn't enough sometimes, depending on the detergent loading needed (Softened water).

I'd personally suggest washing a complete load of clothes in a TL machine with a single rinse, resetting for a second rinse, and noting how cloudy/clear the water is. That would be a more definitive verdict, IMO.

Typically American I guess because a standard toploader only has one rinse. But why on earth can't they call it a third rinse and a fourth rinse? Just like not mentioning the spinspeeds in numbers but in low, medium and high etc. The American consumer is left in the dark with all those things.

It’s the industrial kind of counting rinses.
The last "rinse" is equal to the conditoning in commercial words. The application of any kind of conditoning (softner, starch) is not counted. So a big laundry company would count:

Soak
Prewash
Wash
Rinse
Conditoning
Extracting

in contrast to the household way

Prewash with soak
Wash
Rinse
Rinse with softner
Spin.

Thus, Second rinse means 2 rinses plus softner rinse and 3rd rinse 3 rinses plus softening.

It certainly is more flexible than my current Imperial model. Not sure that the lack of a heater would sway me away from it at this point. I don't really miss it on my current machine. Although, I am not 100% sure I can perform hot starts with the new model as easily.

I always used a prewash with the temp set to Hot on the commercial Speed Queen front loaders to get a decent hot main wash. Then again, the commercial units did a spin before the main wash to get as much of the cool water out of the load before advancing into the main wash. Something these new units no longer do.

Washer111, I think you are right about the 6 water changes if you selected all the options and I am almost certain I was reading the TL manual.  Are these TL machines being sold  nationwide?  At present I could care less, we have cheap abundant water and city sewer.  While I don't consciously conserve,  I do not attempt to use more than is needed.  I do see how the TL could be a problem in areas with restricted water use or a septic system and a "well intentioned" guest.    The FL is very appealing.

TL Washer

mrb627's profile picture
It is nice that the TL washer can be used in an ECO mode and as a TRADITIONAL machine. Very flexible, IMO!

The dryer has all indications that it contains a moisture sensor as indicated by the 'Sensing' light on the control panel. Otherwise, there is no mention of a contact sensor in the manual. Not really a deal breaker one way or the other, IMO.

D'uh! And I was looking through all the manuals on SQ's site...

 

docs.alliancelaundry.com/tech_pdf...

 

 

The dryer does have a Sensing light on the panel but there's no mentioning of how to clean the moisture sensors bars - something every manual usually mentions. Hm...

 

I do like the Eco Dry setting, which lowers the  temp as the clothes become drier - very Kenmore SoftHeat. It's also nice to see that an American manufacturers has fianally adopted the European approach of giving the user the choice to either select eco (cool and slow) or traditional (hot and fast).

I do believe the dryer does have a sensor inside the dryer drum as sensing system keeps being referred to in the dryer.  I like the "wrinkle guard" feature tumbles every two minutes rather than every 5 minutes Whirlpool has done for years.  In auto dry cycles, moisture monitor lights show dampness levels similar to my Maytag IntelliDry.

Water Level adjustment???

Will it be possible to raise the water level on these washers as we have been able to do on the mechanical AWN542??
Is it necessary since these machines have an "Eco" cycle? Will they fill to the top row of holes by default on the other cycles when extra large is selected/

Since it is 50Hz, it's for a different market than the American. 400 Volts may mean a big, powerful heating element, otherwise it could be done with a standard 220 (230) Volts 16 amps connection.

I'm guessing the description on that Sam Stores website is wrong.

Literature says the following for BOTH models. 

 

This appliance is not designed for use in America. Only for countries that use 220 / 240 V electrical outlets. 

 

Luigi, that which you found reminds me of the Amana & SQ models with the booster heater before they discontinued the models.

Bob,

I noticed that too. It looks like they have some models on the website that have been long discontinued.

We have them here as well, though I never saw them in any laundromat. Our local laundromat does have Huebsch stacked dryers but Miele washers.

Dryer

Galvanized drum?!? My aunt's BOL HOH had a galvanized drum. I guess if it is a thick enough coating like commercial dryers have, or like the coating on the perforated Hamilton drums that seems to last almost forever, it would be OK and allow them to use a heavier gauge of steel than some modern brands use in their stainless steel drums.

I hope the electronic control topload washer and matching dryer will be avalable for sale in canadien stores as i like the idea of an eco dry system on the dryer would save lots of energy in drying time

Eco Dry lengthens the cycle as it lowers the drying temp to save energy.

Eco Dry

If you are using the dryer in a heated or cooled space, you have to remember that every minute it is operating, it is pumping 150 or more cubic feet of inside air to the outside. This is air that you have paid to heat or cool and replacement air is being sucked into the space from outside. Lengthening the drying is economical at times of the year when the inside air is not being heated or cooled or if the dryer is in an unheated or uncooled space like a garage, basement or outside utility room. It is economical to not use more heat than is needed for the task, but many factors other than the amount of heat used by the dryer need to be factored into the savings picture.

Per the instruction manual, the first heating period reaches the normal target temp, then it's reduced by 10% for the remainder of the cycle ... so for example, if the normal High temp is 150°F, it heats to 150°F then reduces to 135°F.

Many of the current Whirlpool-made dryers use "stepped heating" as well.

I called Speed Queen last week about when the new models would be available. Was told that they wouldn't be for sale until Jan 2015, or later.

I suspect we will start to see online retailers pushing these machines before they are actually on the showroom floors. Keep an eye on eBay and Amazon...
