I purchased this washer this past July and I went down the SQ vs other washers rabbit hole and let me tell you I was so damn nervous that it was going to disappoint.. I work as a diesel mechanic for NYC the last 25yrs so I get wheel bearing grease with major brake dust from doing a reline so I get super filthy.. I'm 6'2" 302lbs so my clothes are fairly large lol I can wash all my clothes in 2 washes and never once have they not came out super clean.. I'm no idiot and yes it's a weird way to wash but dude it f__kin washes amazing.. I have a king size UGG blank it's a beast of a blanket, only thing I do is open it a flip the blanket but otherwise I wash 2 dog beds and 3 cat beds without one issue.. the washer machine is a BEAST.. I had a GE profile wash plate absolute waste of money always out of balance couldn't wash 3 pants with 5 shirts and 2 hoodies with it going out of balance.. don't listen to these clowns about turnover if you use it correctly you will never have a issue with ur clothes getting clean.. let me tell you I tried to Jam it up and it just won't my with even says can ur "queen" wash this YES IT CAN.. I put 3 man size pillows in there where is was hitting the top lid just to see if it would jam up and NOPE!!!!! BUY IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT.. max it out and it laughs at you... SQ-FTW

I went and bought a tc5 for $1299 tonight. Installed it in my house and did my first load. I am incredibly impressed. I do a mix of clean work and dirty work. But I liked the simplicity of the tc5 and I wanted to be able to clean dirtier stuff if need be. * also the tc5 has a 5 year warranty that covers everything! A 15 year warranty on the transmission. And a lifetime warranty on the drum. I feel like I can’t go wrong with this one. I don’t think the tr5 is a bad machine. But I feel like the tc5 does a better job. And soo far I wouldn’t trade for a tr5. Cool video tho

If you want a simple break down of the sq for 2024 type In speed queen 2024 and there was a video where a guy broke down the machines very simply. I was drawn towards the tc5. Also if you type in tc5 vs tr5 there’s a girl who shows them working side by side. The tc5 does a better job imo but in her video the tc5 is loud. Mine is not load at all. I would say gts slightly louder than this model.

First to be clear I don't get a plug nickel from anyone. I was a service tech and service mgr in a former life at a large appliance dealership selling many brands. In their top loaders SQ makes the TR series and the TC series. TR's use less power, water, quieter and don't beat your clothes to death every wash. This is the machine for 95% of us. Now if you are auto mechanic, plummer, farmer or lawn care service or just got a bunch of dirty kids then the TC series is for you. If you want to see clothes jerked around, twisted and rolled over then the TC is for you. It's a cleaning demon. SQ's are NOT cheap but they are the closest you can get in north America like the Old School Maytags that your parents and grand parents talk about lasting 25 - 30 years. Excuse me, I have to go take a load out of my 34 year old Maytag dryer. Zero repairs in 34 years.

@@RollYourRock I bought the Maytag Commercial set over a Speed Queen TC set. I like the agitator on the Maytag, it really does alot of work to get your clothes clean. We've had it now 3+ months, do atleast 1 to 3 loads every day. Cycle takes about 30 minutes. Oh its noisy, but I like it, the sound of clean, how it agitates back and forth. Here's a thing most don't say. You could get away with buying the cheapest dryer, could just get a $450 Amana dryer then buy whatever washer you want: Maytag Commercial or Speed Quean. I'd buy the Maytag again. I ordered it online, was free delivery, free removal of old unit, free hooksup, was $2100 delivered and installed direct from Maytag with 5 year parts and labor warranty, didn't even have to leave my home. For me it was a no brainer. If you want to save $500 buy the Amana washer from same maytag site (since its all Whirlpool) and get the set for like $1600. The best for the money, nothing better, home depot sells junk for more!

This washer to me is performing I believe as the TR 7000 or at least I know it has that programming. The reason I make that statement is when you put it on heavy duty medium soil it should be 45 minutes, not 40 mins when you put it on normal Eco it should be 39 minutes not 29 medium soil. They increased the wash times by 10 minutes. That upgrade was in the 7003 they also incorporated some agitation changes. The units from 2018 had those wash times they changed it at the end of 2018 in December with an upgrade to the longer wash periods in response to the bad reviews they were receiving thus improving the performance..

After more research than I would have liked. All the Speed Queen TR's DO NOT clean well if you have heavy soiled clothing. The agitator is not a real agitator. The clothing only swirls back and forth gently through water. People that need deep cleaning or stain removal are pissed off with this. The only Speed Queen worth buying is the TC5. It's a true dependable power house.....simple looking but very good cleaning.....and fast.

How does it handle out of balanced loads such as pillows?
@dregenius4 ай бұрын
It doesn't - the only way a top loader can redistribute clothing is by filling with 70 gallons of water, agitate for a few seconds, and then dump all the water. If it didn't get it right, no biggie, it can just guzzle down another bathtub's worth of water to attempt to float things around. Or..... you could tumble the clothes which would not only agitate and turn things over better, but if there was an out of balance issue, it could simply slow down the spin and go back to tumbling, then speed up again. Load balanced in seconds with no water, compared to many minutes and potentially hundreds of gallons of water. There's a reason nowhere else in the developed world will you find a top load washer - the entire design is deeply flawed.
