Only days ago the Speed Queen website had yet to post information about their new lineup. Checked in again tonight and boom, there it is. They've improved the home laundry area of the site; it looks far less commercial/industrial. Inexplicably, the action graphics (turned on or off by moving a switch) are comically rudimentary; other than that, it's an all thumbs-up revamp.

Those look really well thought out. Speed Queen is bar none in all areas of customer satisfaction and service. I can see these machines outperforming even some classics.
Where Speed Queen did the right things was keeping the all metal construction and 1/2 HP motor. No toys or jokes doing serious house work. I just saw the slanted water fall fill, that's really neat. I guess they are doing an energy saving rinse on some cycles? Better than what Whirlcrap has going that's a given. If I could make a recommendation; Speed Queen should offer a sound package option for their residential models. Their washer are quiet as is, so a sound package would turn these into a whisper quiet machine bringing about lot of well deserved bragging rights. I wasn't able to find the manuals, does anyone have a link to these beauties? |

Yes. I don't think the warranty section is in its final state. The warranty on the dryer mentions the transmission at this point.
I would like to know more about the Normal/ECO spray rinse. It is a short 3 min 25 sec. Is that a constant spin spray? Seems that you can still add three deep rinses to that cycle. Rinsing in both TL and FL electronic models should be a non-issue from here on out... Also not sure why it is recommended to use HE detergent in the TL. I would expect any detergent to be acceptable.

Hello to everyone in Automaticwasher.org,
It is about time Speed Queen made a front load washer that has user customizable cycles. Their washers are fantastic and when my current front load washer bites the dust, which is about to happen, I will purchase the stack washer/dryer. I only wish that Speed Queen would manufacture a top load washer and dryer stack set. My condominium does not have the room for a side by side set up, so currently I am limited to stack front load washers and dryers. I really prefer a top load washer and am absolutely not concerned about water usage. Water is needed to clean laundry and wash out all the residual detergent. Speed Queen, if you are reading anything on automaticwasher.org, please produce a top load washer/dryer stack set up. There is a market for this type of product as indicated by the sales of GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, and Frigidaire. They produce garbage. Speed Queen would blow them away with quality. A Happy Holiday to all, Richard |

I am all game for the setup and new looks......
one thing that has always got me off track, these Lifetime warranties on things like the stainless tub, warrant against rust that would never happen?.....and who's life time?....yours?, the machine?, the manufacturer?...and that's if their still around......this was the same warranty given to my stainless solid tub, if it should need replacing, Wheres McGraw-Edison?....and would Alliance cover it?.....more important, is that tub still available?..... not just for SQ washers, but all manufacturers when they offer something like this....just wondering, they throw stuff in that would be of no use to you!... one thing I have been looking for when I hit the stores.....there are all these warranties covering bit and pieces here and there, for X amount of time, 1 to 3 years give or take.....but yet they don't make an exclusive mention to the most failing part of todays machines, the electronics/boards, and bearings/seals! |

Finally SQ is offering dryers with moisture sensors. I would be very tempted to get one once my GE Profile dryer gives up the ghost. Has anyone noticed that on the top loaders, the strokes per minute has been lowered from 68 to 60? And the other thing they were saying was a full washtub of water. I saw the pic that they had and yep it was a full tub of water, but water consumption was just 24 gallons. The other pic I noticed was that the water no longer comes into the washer like a waterfall. Its now a wide jet that shoots across the washbasket. Anything is better than the waterfall, especially during the joke of a spray rinse that they use in my SQ washer.
The front loaders have a Meile-esque look about them as far as control panels oh hell even the whole machine. I love the wash vanes in the drum with the curves...now lets see how they rate from CU...which by the way I take the info that they spew with a grain of salt lately.

I am in LOVE with the black consoled front loader washer they have on the website. I clicked on the Build Your Own link and it was in there. It looks very stylish. Also I read that the spin speed on the front loaders has gone up to 1200 has opposed to 1000 rpms! If they came to australia in that colour and I could justify the cost I would have one in a heartbeat!

Mike-- I'm willing to bet the farm agitation hasn't been slowed from 68 to 60 strokes/minute. It states 68 spm in the Washability section of the top-loaders' main page. Can't imagine why agitation speed would be changed. I think 60 is a typo/misprint on the Features page.
There is an error on the Specifications page for the front-load model, as well. It says bleach and fabric softener dispensers are n/a, which is wrong. The manual clearly states there are four compartments in the dispenser drawer: Main detergent, prewash detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. Did anyone else catch other errors?

I hope to one day move into a house that has a laundry room wide enough for two washers and one dryer, because I would have that Speed Queen TL in a heart beat. The control panel looks gorgeous. It would be cool to pair it next to the Bravos so I could have the option of washing with a full tub if I needed it.

I was thinking the same thing on the typos, one area they say its 68 strokes, another on the models its 60 strokes. I would love to get the front loader with the back controls...but I cant justify spending a good chunk of change when there is no water heater. Also has anyone noticed the "cool" water temp...do they do that by monitoring the water temp using ATC or is it a guess? I like the improvements they have done especially with the dryers...the moisture sensor is a huge improvement in my opinion. I am not one for themostatic control since it tends to overdry. I see that with my Frigidaire built dryer that if I use low temp I get really great results with most washloads except jeans. Put it on regular temp and everything is overdried. Friends of ours have a SQ washer and dryer and yes the dryer is fast but my gawd the temps on regular are a tad much. And they use the timed cycle since the auto cycle seems to work sometimes and other times not.

I noticed the "cool" water temp setting as well, I wonder how they accomplish that? Thermo-controlled or timed warm-cold switching. Very interesting.
I like the new F/L design and the controls are much more flexible but to join in the chorus, I would really think twice before buying a high-end washer that didn't offer a heated cycle option. Certainly, there are millions of users out there have never had, nor would ever miss a heater option, but once you've had it you wouldn't want to give it up. |

Are you listening Speed Queen? Or are you too arrogant to understand and realize those of us who REALLY understand, appreciate, and know hot to properly use a front loader's true superior cleaning and gentleness. Domestic laundry approach is different than coin-op/commercial laundry approaches. As I've said before, our European bretheren have known this for decades just what excellent cleaning results are with gradual heating to extra hot water temps or properly maintained specific water temps and fabric care. |

Ben-- I was wondering when the Patronus Absolutus was going to check in on this thread! Looks like SQ is going to swing for the fences with their new residential line.
Gansky and Bob: Couldn't agree more about the internal water heater. Never had one 'til 2010; now can't imagine having a front-loading washer without one. |

not that it would be a big deal......but how about a stainless drum for the dryer?
those baffles in the washer are unique, but don't look like they go wall to wall in the drum.... and surprised the new baffles from the FL washer aren't also used in the dryer.... those side opening doors of the washer, as Ralph mentioned, are going to be problematic for some people.....that's one thing I liked about Westinghouse talltumbler, no matter what side, the door for the washer dropped down, also prefer a drop down door on the dryer as well.... |

Our Duet had a heater and our current Affinity has a heater, but the only cycle that involves the heater on either of those machines is the "sanitary" one, which takes over two hours. For that reason, I don't use it very much. We've had our Affinity for six years and I can probably count on both hands the number of times I've opted for a "sanitary" wash.
Are there other FL machines that employ the heater on more everyday laundering type cycles? I'm leaning toward being able to live without an on-board heater considering how seldom I take advantage of one currently, but for the price I'd be paying for a SQ FL, I think it should have one anyway.
And yes, they should have a "contact us" on their web site that allows for e-mailing their consumer relations department. It's simple: If you're on line pushing your product, you should be offering viewers a way to contact you on line as well.
Having said that, I'm willing to forgive a company that's dedicated to keeping an effective old-school laundering technology alive through its top loading machines, and is equally dedicated to producing a FL machine with a 25-year lifespan. That's where their priorities should be. I'll bet the Alliance back offices are a delightfully low-tech, and as a result, low stress place to work. |

Ralph, on my current 2 year old Duet, the heater is used automatically on Whites, Allergen, Bulky Items, Kids Wear, and Heavy Duty cycles. It's a shame you're too impatient and don't take advantage of it more than you do. Especially with some of the soiled laundry I know you've had to deal with due to Dave's health issues. |

Bob, part of the problem is that I don't think most of the soiled items are sturdy enough to stand up to the sanitize cycle. With industrial strength pre-treating (aka a nozzle tip on the garden hose) and some additives like borax and/or all-fabric powdered bleach, I can get by with heavy duty/high soil/stain clean/hot wash/extra rinse, which takes an hour (not counting time for balancing acts). Also, now that I have a pull-out faucet with a long hose on the adjacent laundry sink, I can easily add more non-dumbed-down hot water to the load.
I don't think there's any question that the above procedure is far more effective than what I could manage with the average top loader, even a vintage one that filled completely, but yes, if I had a FL machine that employed the heater on more cycles than just "sanitary" I'd be using that option regularly.

Rex-- You and I approach it from opposite ends of the spectrum, LOL! I prefer electronic controls and front-loaders. I agree that electronics are more likely to sustain damage in case of a power surge/lightning strike, but have had no problem with them on the washer, dryer, ranges, or dishwasher due to those circumstances. Our electricity is very stable out here on the open prairie. Have not experienced a brown-out or surge, but we do get our share of thunderstorms.

The heater option would be nice for SOME users but SQ discontinued them because almost NO ONE ever bought one when they were available for over 10 years. Of all the SQ FL washers we sold I only ever sold one to Jon [ Jetcone ] in Boston, where were all you guys when they were not only available and the FLers were only around a thousand dollars.
FL washers generally do not have or need water level control that is user adjustable, the machine puts in a certain level of water while tumbling and the overall amount of water used varies greatly depending on how much clothing is in the washer soaking up water, this system works great in most FL washers being built today. |

Pierre-- Sorry you haven't received an answer to your question. No one seems to know if the electronic top-loader will be available in Quebec. I'm sure someone will post here when there is more information. I really like the sleek look of the new electronic console on both their top-loaders and front-loaders.

That is a good thing for a 9 min spin on the top loaders because 5 mins don't cut it. I find with my SQ washer I need to do another spin to get out as much water as I can. Loads notorious for this are jeans and towels. Granted the SQ washer is no front loader when it comes to extraction, I see that with mine. My GE badged Frigidaire built front loader, washes, and extracts better than the SQ washer. Yet the SQ washer is faster time wise, but uses much more water and is a tad harsh on fabrics I find. But this is my opinion and what I find with my two washers here.

I agree that water extraction is one of the SQ's weaknesses. 710 rpm is a respectable spin speed in an old-school machine, but is comparatively slow by today's standards. The 542 hadn't seen action for a few weeks so I put it to use washing a large load of bath linens today. It purred like a kitten and handled the Bobload well, but the towels were noticeably wet at the end of the cycle. A quick spin at 1300 rpm in the front-loader extracted quite a bit more water.
Glad to see SQ's new front-loader spins at 1200. Between using far less water than the top-loader and decreasing time in the dryer, the front-loader will be a real resource and energy saver. Every time I use the 542 I realize that although it's fun to watch the spin-drain, three large loads could have been washed just as well in the Frigidaire front-loader using a fraction of the amount of hot water. |

I cannot decide between the FL or the TL offering. They both have their benefits. I fear that pricing will put the front loader outside of many purchasers range. Still unsure and as most all SQ dealers wont put the FL models on the sales floor, it will be next to impossible to put your hands on one before writing a near 2K check for the washer alone.

Ben-- And here I was expecting SQ to include a bag of Tide pods in all their new machines!
Malcolm-- I vote for the front-loader, as I'd like your real-world review of the new & improved machine, especially in light of your having the prior design to compare it to. There will be plenty of reviews of the top-loader from others. |

So, in the picture of the control panel on the website, the cycle is tagged as [REGULAR]. In the manual, the same cycle is tagged [HEAVY DUTY].
In doing the math, the cycle times provided in the grid are for the MEDIUM(default) soil level. They are not the maximum wash times. So, they question is... how long are the wash times for the maximum soil level? Malcolm |

Did anyone notice that in the videos, the Speed Queen "Q" seems to have a polished, raised effect on the topload models? I couldn't tell on the front load, front control panel models.
Any guess on pricing for the rear control (digital), front load? I think I can see it hanging out with my 542 and blending well--so nice to have the rear control option. I called Speed Queen directly when they first hit Facebook and was told they are starting to mfg them in January, and shipping in Feb. All things considered, March would probably be accurate. My local Speed Queen dealer was unaware of new changes and was terrified that I told him electronic controls were on their way. He took my number, but never called me back. :( By the way--instead of email...why not just call? When you speak with them, let them know the email isn't working--probably a glitch or overlooked requirement on the new site (like 60 SPM). :) |

Hello to all,
if my mom was to order directly from speed queen when we have to replace the set we have would speed queen deliver from the us to canada province of quebec (unless they sell the topload model and matching dryer under the hubesch name in the province of quebec) because i love the idea of an eco cycle on the dryer? Thank you to anyone who can answer this question CLICK HERE TO GO TO pierreandreply4's LINK

Sounds good Malcom. I'm going to get the rear control so that it will fit in with my 542. It's nice that the shape of the control panel will match. I'm glad the wash drum is bigger--that was always a big negative before. It will also be interesting to see how quiet they are--the ones at the laundromat (front load) are very quiet.
Maybe you guys can talk me through how to hook everything up so that they can share water lines and stand pipes. Let me know as soon as you hear about pricing! |

its sad but there are chances that we might never see the nnew electronique controls models top load and front load in canada unless the canadien huebesch factorys makes them when you look canada quebec speed queen distributors on the speed queen web sit we get this message. Speed Queen is not authorized to sell home laundry in Canada.
Please see our Huebsch Canada Home Laundry website to locate a dealer nearest you. Go Back - See more at: content.alliancels.net/home/en-us... Because canada quebec is not far from the us border after all sigh |

I need to replace my current Frigidaire Gallery stacked washer and dryer (in my personal residence). It was great for a few years. I am now on my second mother board, the washer will not rinse (I have to run the machine through two wash cycles), and I really do not want to spend anymore on repairs. At the Estate residence I manage, I replaced the old and very problematic Electrolux washers and dryers with Speed Queen Laundry Centers. The Speed Queens are terrific. Fast, use water, and problem free. I really want the new Speed Queen Laundry Center for my home. The versatility of the new design is just what I want. Any ideas when pricing will become available?
A great day to all,
Richard
