    Love my speed queens. 5 years of ownership and flawless performance. Worth every darn penny.

    I own the Speed Queen front load washer, but I own the previous model without the "pet" cycle which I do not need. It was a very expensive purchase, and I did get the pedestal with it otherwise it sits way too low. I have been using it for about two years now, and I can say it is worth every penny. I can confirm that it does NOT have a built-in heater, but it's not a problem for me because I have a tankless water heater which is a short distance away and so hot water is not a problem. Even if you have a tank water heater, you should be fine. One thing I appreciate about this front load, over my previous LG is the cycle times are much shorter. When my LG washing machine started a load, it would do this long drawn out procedure where it senses the load, sprays a little water inside, senses again, and it went back and forth like this for a ridiculous amount of time before the wash cycle actually began. It would also rapidly pulse the hot water valve open and closed dozens and dozens of time when it filled due to it's "automatic temperature regulator", and it would cause my tankless water heater to short cycle. This speed queen washer eliminated both of those issues because whatever sensing it does at the beginning, it does it FAST, and the washer fills much more quickly with water because it does not pulse the water on and off, it just FILLS like it's supposed to, and the wash cycle begins promptly. I also work in an industry where I get grease, oil, coolant, and other chemical on my work clothes and this washer handles it like a champ. It is built like a tank. Yes the washer drum is smaller than other machines, but the quick cycles times make up for it, and I never have issues washing my queen size comforter, and it could also handle a King if it had to (washed on it's own, not together with other things). I did not buy the speed queen dryer because there is nothing special about it, and it would have been money down the drain. This washer has been worth every penny, and I am confident that it will save money in the end because it will OUTLAST the dollar amount spent over time of having to purchase a new front loader every time it breaks, not to mention the money you will spend on repairs if they are even worth fixing. If I had not purchased this model, I would have also been just as happy with a top load speed queen, specifically the TC5 model with the good old fashioned agitator. I realize the other speed queen top loaders also have agitators, but I think the TC5 model is a little more aggressive which I find a bonus with the type of laundry I do. If you don't need aggressive agitation, then the other top load speed queen washer is the better one to get. They are all excellent washers though!!!

      I have the same washer as you and I agree. Much better than any of the cheap throw away ones you buy at the big box stores. These are made to service laundromats day and day out for years. I wash my kind sized comforter in mine all the time and I will say it comes out cleaner than my old lg which had a bigger drum and ran forever. Plus with the short run times I pump out as much clean laundry as my brother does with his 3 lg front loads he has rigged up.

    I would never buy a new speedqueen. The build quality doesn't even come close to justifying the price, especially when you may also be losing performance and features compared to other big brands.
    If you can find used speedqueen machines for sale, those are often great buys! My favorite shop-washer ever was an AWN412 that I salvaged. I do love their frontloads too though.

    Love your videos Blake! You always are honest and wish we could have you as representative here in VA!
    Your humor and good naturedness are always appreciated and I watch your videos right away with anticipation. We have Maytags now that will be replaced with Speed Queens at next time panel goes out as 5 year warranty will expire soon. You have really helped us make that decision and we thank you for that. We have to use top load as our laundry room is basically a hallway somewhat like you described yours. Thanks as always!!!

      You really shouldn’t be replacing a machine every couple years if you take care of it well. I’d rather have a bigger, feature ready front loader from LG that cleans very well for 10-15 years than be stuck with these speed queens for 30 years.

    Okay, time for a reality check with SQ front loader machines. There is no internal heater. Zero. None. So all the talk of 'Sanitize with Oxi' and 'Pet Care' are PR stunts at best. Second, there are lots of complaints about the circuit boards going out, and they are expensive to replace. Third, yes maybe the machine can last 25 years...maybe....but that is like saying you want your Ford Pinto to last 25 years. It is an average machine for cleaning-I use the commercial SQ front loaders in my building sometimes-but no match from my Gorenje washer.

    You said a mouthful in the first minute and a half. Take care of your machines. I just retired a set of LGs after 17 years. Still working. Bought a new LG that washes and dries, and I wasn't expecting much more. But there is more. It has all DC motors and pumps to be super quiet. It has jets around the window, and really saturates quickly. The drum has different tumbling patterns to break up the motion and be sure all clothes get moved around. Of course, wifi capabilities. Not sure I will get 17 years out of it. But for the cost, 12-15 would be a win. For the price of those speed queens, and as simple and featureless as they are, they should absolutely just guarantee them for the 25 years.
