80 pounds per square inch won’t cause a problem for water pressure.
I don’t think you could make the judgment that their services has gotten worse over the last five years as Speed Queen never had their own service agency and they’ve only become more popular in the last five years or so, so if anything, there are more service agencies out there now than there were five years ago. That said Speed Queen services done by independent services much like Maytag back in the 70s and there are better ones and there are not so good ones. I guess I would check the service reputation of Speed Queen service in the area you live I have no idea where you live or I could help. You’re not very likely to need much service on a Speed Queen. It’s easily the most reliable brand out there. If you want to conserve money, just get the washer. The dryer is very good but it’s probably not gonna be much better than a 15-year-old Maytag dryer. Yes, the dryer needs a water feed. Normally it’s just branched off the cold water supply for the washer. John |

The speed queens of 20 years ago were certainly good but from any indication, we can see as a Speed Queen servicer for over 15 years. The current machines are better than they were 20 years ago. Quality control is excellent. We almost never see a problem related to quality control or assembly we’re only doing one or two warranty calls a month in the Maryland side of the DC metro area.
With the long warranty, Speed Queen is giveing currently they would be bankrupt in 10 years if they didn’t build really great machines right the first time. Most mainstream companies like LG Samsung whirlpool cannot begin to afford to give even a two-year warranty on their products because they’re building them down to a cost so much, in the 15 years with Speed Queen. I’ve never seen one place where they’ve even taken a penny out of the construction cost of the machines I’ve only seen improvements. John |
