For those that know me (and my endless amount of Speed Queen videos on YouTube) will know that I love my Speed Queen top loader. It's over 6 years old now, sisters set is 4 years old, and the vacation set is 5 years old. Never had a problem. I needed a new toy though. :) I loved the redesign on the Speed Queen front loaders, so there is one on it's way to me as we speak! My little Christmas gift to myself. I especially love how Speed Queen kept the rear control model...will fit in nicely with the TL and the existing SQ dryer. Now an agonizing 3 week wait. :)

How easy is it to "add on" to the standpipe? Plumping isn't my thing, or at least I've never tried. But I am pretty handy. The new washer would need a standpipe near the metal exhaust vent on the left. Is it a simple "T" connection, or is there something more I need to be aware of? Official call out to the experts...

They spin so smooth and are built nice and solid. I am out at my mothers for the holidays and enjoy putting her new set through their paces. Weirdly a sock somehow snuck itself into the door boot and was barely visible. Don't know how long it was there but just a heads up on the need to check that area on occasion. Also the rubber washers for the water lines are not inserted in the hoses when shipped. Get those in ASAP before you forget...like I did! |

Thanks Eddy! That looks easy enough to do. I would imagine the 2" drop would still apply until i reached the trap.
Malcolm, I've been jealous of your Imperials for years. Recently watched your videos again when I was trying to decide. Strictly, do you have pics of your new washers? I've never seen any in "real life". All--videos will come soon--let me know what you would like to see! Thanks, Dan |
