I bought a Speed Queen AWN432 about three years ago. It's been mostly fantastic, especially since we did the water level adjustment.
But I've been a little insecure about the cleaning quality on the Speed Queen. The wash cycles seem awfully fast. I accidentally used one of The Good Towels to clean some grime and algae off my car. This is a crime roughly equal to grabbing someone's prized sports jersey and getting barbecue sauce all over it. I looked at the suddenly-filthy towel, realized my mistake, and let myself be sad for a minute. It would never be one of The Good Towels again. But I dropped it in the washer with all the others. The settings were all standard: extra-large load, heavy duty wash, normal soil level, 150 degree F hot water from the tap. It got COMPLETELY clean. It fits right in with the other good towels again. I have no more concerns. The Speed Queen is great! |

proof positive....with proper washing techniques, a traditional Speed Queen TLer can give you fantastic results every time...
there are times you may want to pause the wash cycle for roughly 30 minutes for heavily grimy loads.... on TLers, I would like to see the final spin be a bit longer.... but none the less, enjoy that machine, it will be with you for a very long time... |

I completely agree Jonathan, I have never had a single customer complain about rinsing with this washer, in our service area there are over 10,000 of these washers that we are factory service for and no complaints about cleaning or rinsing.
That said there are some complaints about harsh agitation and redeposited lint and grit left in the wash basket, but these are pretty rare.

I can fill tide powder detergent up to 4 1/2 and only need one rinse. If I select 2 rinses the water in the 2nd is always crystal clear and not needed. I was weary of only 2 min of rinse agitation, but obviously the engineers wanted to minimize harsh agitation as much as possible and found that these machines could thoroughly rinse in 2 minutes. Anything more was unnecessary wear and tear on clothes and the machine.
