It's pretty gentle on clothes, i used one tide pod for that load of towels, tide pod with "oxi" power, i tried powder oxi clean "white revive" and it works pretty good, alot better than bleach. |

How long did the wash portion of that cycle take, and how long does it rinse? |

This load size is just about the optimal load for this machine. Water level was appropriate as well. This is the most impressive video I have witnessed so far. Still not a fan, though. |

I saw the wash action and it was the most powerful I have ever seen in the latest washing machines. |

Thats just pathetic, although most TL washers would have a hard time turning it over.
Try a light colored QSC and make it evenly dirty on one or better yet both sides and then wash it and show us the results, we have done this test with soiled white towels and work jeans and the results are treble, it only cleans a few areas leaving 60-80% advisably dirty.

Considering a whirlpool cabrio won't even turn a comforter over ONCE, let alone several times like my TR5 did this machine is still better than most he TL machines. |

Ugh I hate myself for getting into this argument once again... If the SQ barely turns over that load, no way in hell it would turn over any kind of blanket... |

Sorry, mental typo. We have several sources showing questionable cleaning results. Your videos are fine, keep doing them, no fault there. It's just that your 4:30 video shows about half an inch of turnover... |

People here are VERY passionate about there washers,Etc. That goes double for Speed Queens. They have been a favorite of many here for years and they were the last hold out for a tried and true American Top loader. People are still very soar about them losing the transmission and wash system they have had longer than I have been alive.
People here are very blunt take it with a grain of salt. |

Guys, you're almost starting a fist fight because of a washing machine. Really? Why don't you just grab a 5 inch ruler and start an argument regarding your private parts sizes? I'm waiting to see who is going to pull the hair first or stick a bubble gum on each others hair. Should I tell everything to your moms? Grow up, guys! |

Celebrate your washer. Embrace the energy and essence that makes the metal and plastic come together and provide cleanliness. All washers are good. |

ttw, you should launch a new thread requesting advice.
Maytag's commercial top loader seems to be the closest you can get to the 2017 and earlier Speed Queens for old school wash action, and that is likely what most here would recommend.
You should also contact the dealer who sold you the SQ and advise that you want to return it and get something else, such as the Maytag, if that dealer sells them. The makers of SQ need to understand that most people are not happy with the 2018 wash system, and dealers will certainly let them know if people are returning these machines in droves. You have a valid case, and you are certainly not the first person who would like to return their 2018 SQ. |

When my Atlantis started acting up (needs a no-longer-made timer/control module) I was motivated by all the chat on here about the 2017 Speed Queens being the last of their kind and by members saying "your Maytags aren't Maytags at all you ninny, they're Norge" so I bought a TOL SQ pair...one from a town 40 miles away, one from the other side of the Country. This was several months ago. Where are they today? Covered up in the garage about 15 feet from the laundry room. My back is currently shot, handyman is busy and friends are all prima-donnas and can't lift anything heavier than a toaster. The pool guy saw them and said "yikes, that's a lotta buttons!" Fortunately they have a very long warranty provided they ever see gas, electricity or water.
As stupid as this seems, the new Internet TV still sits on the floor turned to the wall so the cleaning ladies won't hit it with the power-drive Hoover and the new pricey Dell computer is in an unopened box next to the front door. Both of these items have a 2-year warranty which is almost half over. Dumb Dumb Dumb! Last month I had what the ICU doctors called a near-death experience. My hemoglobin level dropped below 4, normal is about 7, a result of taking handfuls of nsaids...aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxin daily to combat back pain. They said if I had waited one more hour to call the paramedics my heart would have stopped. I sort of dismissed all of this as just talk because Eisenhower Medical Center wants repeat business from heavily insured people. I guess it was not. I would like to do a load or two in the new Speed Queens before I'm history. This post was last edited 10/21/2018 at 23:40 |

Normal hemoglobin levels for my age is 12 to 15...not 7. It's serious stuff. (Sorry, I'm way off track considering this is a thread about Speed Queen)

I can see the relevance for you telling us how you are unable to test out a brand new washer due to back issues having suffered a back problem since high school and even now having days when unable to move let alone lift a washer and dryer.
I wish you a speedy recovery and the ability to find some less flakey friends who would be willing to move the machines for you :) Take care and stay safe xx Austin |

well it is only a 2018 model, basically a proto-type, which we all know, will have a few bugs to iron out, without a doubt, some changes will be made, most likely to the wash action....
a few pros this machine has over the transmission versions..... a. a separate water pump b. a direct non-slip belt c. a higher speed spin a note on B and C.....a higher spin speed will extract more wash water, for better rinsing, a higher speed final spin means less time in the dryer....definitely something these machines needed! another definite pro for any of the ECO machines, the spin spray is directed onto the load, not half behind the wash basket... give it time, improvements will be made.... I would like to see a ribbed basket of some sort, the tub is turning, might as well make use of the momentum... |

hahahahha I'm laughing too... At least we all can be sure the tears will be washed away from the towels... Now if you washed the towels in a 2018 Slow Drama Queen, I doubt! I posted and I'm running out of here. ROFL |

But, opinions are like rectums, everybody has one.
Advice, take it or leave it: You can Scroll on past, or develop thicker skin. People say bad things about Whirlpool Duet machines. I have always contended if they are the worst they must be the best of the worst, because in the last nine years, I have been very happy with mine. So if you are happy with your Speed Queen, it is ok to be proud of it, and just shrug off the Negative Nellies. |

I said nothing negative about you. Everyone has an opinion.
I am not saying this is the case, but some have to justify their purchase. If they are happy with the results, so be it. As for vacuumland. There are /were some poo-heads over there, but the Miss Manners site was shut down because of poo-heads too. They are everywhere. |

I also said nothing negative about the purchasers choice, I am glad he is happy with it, I have sold just two of the 2018 SQ TL washers, we still have three in inventory to sell.
We took a big hit in sales, last year we had sold more than 50 SQ TLWs by this time. SQ will change this machine, the regional distributor admitted that sales are less than 1/2 of last years sales.
Needless to say dryer sales also took a big hit as well this year because many people buy pairs and with the FL washer shortage they lost even more business. |

Funny you posted this today, I was just dealing with a customer in our area today that got a new TR5 series in July and is completely disgusted with its terrible cleaning and inability to handle even thin blankets, boy did she ever lay out lots of evidence about the poor performance.
She is going after the dealer that sold it for an exchange to the Maytag TL Commercial style washer. |
