All of that over a console? What about the rest of the machines?

I think they are going to post a series of videos over the course of weeks or months.

I applaud SQ for doing this. I'm hoping that some miracle will happen and people will start buying machines based on how they're are made, not how they look on the outside. 

Only thing that catches my eye besides the SQ is the capacitor and its mount on the GE, everything else is 🤮

A real drain pump is driven by a 1/2 HP induction motor.

If everyone was like me, the Maytag Helical design would be found in 90% of all washers sold today. I hope that that one day in the future this becomes a reality.

A good portion of the public can get away with a front loader if used correctly. If one works at home/office job and their hobbies include gaming and watching TV, there's zero reason to own a top loading washer. 

If everyone were like me the filter flo would still be in production somewhere. GE would also have faced multiple class action lawsuits, consumer fraud charges and a tribunal for their tax evasion, atrocious late 90s/2000s products and abusive customer service.

I wish the washer to the left in the video was a GE FF instead of what has become of modern day GE.

The entire inner and outer tub shakes during agitation, sometimes causing the tub straps to break.

In spin I personally had the tub resonate to the point of banging against the cabinet. There are documented cases of these washer self destructing because of it. The suspension is to un-dampened and the basket accelerates way to fast. 

Cleaning is good on small loads, but on large loads the turn over was very poor. The clothes around the agi would get shredded while the rest would just jiggle as everything else shook around them.

Post FF washers should never have seen the light of day. I also feel they're way to over-rated by the appliance community in general.

Opportunity ruined.

What the video doesn't mention is that the Speed Queen motor is isn't just 1 HP, but also a 3 phase high frequency inverter driven where as the two other motors are across the line permanent split capacitor motors. Absolute night and day difference in terms of motor protection, torque, noise, vibration, speed control, tub control, braking, sensing, efficiency, heat generation, longevity, and data feedback. The video is essentially botched failing to mention these very important advantageous facts. 

I feel videos like these are unfair to Speed Queen, they don't do justice to Speed Queen's quality failing to mention important technical details and countless ingenious engineering concepts built into Speed Queen.

Then again truth is much to profound. If all three machines were compared from a pertinent engineering, physics, design, mathematical and economic standpoint the Speed Queen would rack up so many points it would make the video look obscenely biased toward Speed Queen.

Hopefully the next videos will highlight how the tub seal, motor shaft and best top loading suspension ever built on the Speed Queen can out last the other two machines by 60 years.

I am so glad I switched to Speed Queen.

Oh yeah, Matt's a cutie. There I said it.

Needed to be said! Any guy or gal who likes clothes washers wins a place in in my heart.

It's kind of weird how they make a big deal out of a design that was the norm on most top load washers through at least the 90's. We've severely backslidden the last couple of decades. Yay for progress, right?
