You cannot compare a European H-axis washer such as Bosch with Speed Queen, they are two different animals.
SQ front loaders sold for domestic use aren't that much different than their OPL or commercial washers found in laundromats or laundries. They don't have twenty thousand options from Sunday, onboard heaters, long cycles, etc... SQ washers for home use are same as commercial/industrial; designed to do multiple loads of wash day in and day out quickly and efficiently. Where European and some other front loaders have cycles optimized for enzymes and oxygen bleach, SQ goes old school (American), assuming users will stick to what Americans love on wash day; chlorine bleach for stain removal, whitening, etc.... In terms of getting out stains and overall performance, nearly any h-axis will beat a top loading washer. More so if unit in question has onboard heating and can do slow heating of cold water to warm or hot. You have not nor will ever seen top loading washers in commercial laundries, and there are good reasons why. |

I find that as well with modern front loaders. They don’t rinse quite as well as they once did. The Speed Queen does a better job of rinsing out clothes. However, that said, my SQ is from 2007. I don’t know if their newer washers perform as well. |

stick with the heavy-duty cycle because you will receive a true rinse. |

The rust in the pictures you posted will likely never hurt anything, they all rust a little near the fasteners and spring attachment points.
If you want you can apply some epoxy paint or something similar, if you keep the SQ be sure to resister it with SQ so any remaining warranties apply such as the 15 Year transmission parts warranties well as the lifetime warranty on the outer tub against rust through.
