New SQ TL Agitator [ If You Can Call It That ]
The lower fins are lower than about any other agitator ever used and most of all the agitator is bolted to the SMOOTH wash basket, it does not do much, I watched almost an hours worth of SQ promotional videos of this washer working [ under ideal SQ staged conditions I might add ] and it does not do much.
All the videos were shown at full water level and lightly loaded, they did not show any operation on the Eco-normal wash cycle where the WL would be sensed automatically and probably be much lower, [ maybe it will wash better with less water ? ] The only good thing I can say about the new agitation system is it will be far more gentile on clothing and the machine is much quieter.

John L So why do you think Alliance intentionally designed a machine that wouldn't wash well? | ||

My Take-Away...
In the current 2017 model, the wash action is at the bottom of the tub and clothing needs to circulate there to receive the surge of water.
In the new machine, the cleaning action is all throughout the tub. The water will surge over, around, and through the clothes when the agi-tub changes direction. So, less is more, the clothing should ideally ride back and forth with the agitator and let the water circulate through the load. Thoughts? Malcolm | ||

Yes it does... the video kirk put up shows low level washing and it is as bad as the whirlpool with a wash plate, and no it does not have a circulationg pump. the wash action is terrible. | ||

I Thought it was made clear that autofill was part of the Eco thing...am I wrong? I thought the guy said owners could still choose their water level on the regular cycles. | ||

new speed queen I can't wait to see the videos! I'd like for you to put the machine through its paces! I'd like to see you wash a full load of colors on the heavy duty setting with heavy soil setting. I'd recommend you use a premium HE laundry detergent and matching fabric softener for a real life test. I can't wait! | ||

Lorainfurniture- I wish your business the best with these new machines. There's certainly plenty of hot air circulating around here, mine included, but we don't have money on the line. | ||

The New SQ TL Washers Will be a good machine for many consumers and will solve many of the complaints we get on the current SQ top load washers.
Good points
It is quet
It will solve the linting comlants
It will solve the clothing damage complaints
It will solve the vibration and occasional walking complaints we get
Speed Queen probably has a winner for most homeowners, BUT this is nothing like any real agitator washer that anyone hear has ever used and I think you are very likley to be VERY disappointed if you like watching washing machines turn over loads of clothing. This new SQ TL washer is going to make any HE Impeller washer built in the last 15 years look great by comparison when you watch it.
I have watched over an hour of SQ prepared videos of this washer working and it is actually more fun to watch paint dry than watching this thing try to turn over a load of laundry.
The bad part is it can not and will not wash really dirty large loads clean like the current washer does, this is just plain common sense when you watch it work as I have.
Remember FD built a TL washer like this a few years ago that disappeared from the market after barely a year of production, and we posted pictures of really dirty towels that we washed in it and it did a miserable job of cleaning uniformity.
When we get one of these new SQ washers we will do a SXS comparison and post results, as always if anyone wants to visit they can help run the tests and help post the results.
