I cant even fit my queen sized comforter in my 2017 Speed Queen 8 series, i have to take it to the laundromat to wash it in a big capacity front loader and that's not a Speed Queen because they don't make a large capacity front load washer. They are tiny compared to some of the most basic offerings from other manufacturers. I bet they lose a lot of sales from people who would spend Speed Queen money for a front loader but don't because they are just too small.

This is great news, but 1 problem, I HATE locking washers. Do you know if they're going to make this larger sized washer without the auto lock mechanism?

[@nickg9021]

It is a feature that is EASILY bypassed . We have a TR7 and all it takes is a wooden clothes pin (spring type) to defeat the lid-sensor switch , and a rubber O ring folded and inserted into the hole that the lid latch fits into.( must remove the latch mechanism on the lid before closing it ... save the latch in case you want warranty service later ) . Look for a video on KZbin that shows how it's done . Allows you to open the lid mid-cycle without interrupting the progress of the cycle. Also permits adding detergent during the fill cycle and rinsing out the measuring "cap".

[@richardbell3738]

Your selling Hype . Tub size does not matter . However the 3.2 is not really with the top fill at 4.5 that amounts to close to any over priced chinese 5 cf that only fills 50% . This present model is more in line not taking space . So larger will pay much more than present models

This smells like a competitor shill video. How often do you wash a comforter? 3.2 cuft. is fine for the average person or family. We had a Kenmore for years and it was fine.

i currently have an estate washer and dryer which has lasted since 2005 and one repair. i was thinking about upgrading to something with the digital display, but the knob works for me too. I have a super king bed and it fits the comforter inside the estate washer and dryer. the dryer on the other hand has had three repairs- two by a tech and one by me. the gas solenoids and the ignitor twice plus the thermal cut off ( i have extra parts just in case). Does this means the SQ dryer has a small capacity drum? or will it fit the super king item?

I wash three king-size microfiber plush blankets in my TC5000 and have watched the turnover during a complete wash cycle.

[@RobbyMaQ]

The speedqueens fill to 100%. The larger cu ft competitors typically fill to about 60% . a 5cu ft washer filled to 60% is only 3 cu ft. which is worthless when you have an additional 2 cu ft of comforter that doesn't get wet, or worse becomes soap stained.

@@nickg9021 I couldn't agree more. I dealt with a Whirpool washer the past 3 years that I've repaired 3x.

Ultimately the suspension failed. My biggest complaint on the speedqueen so far? I had to clear out my drain pipe because the discharge was too much for the 40 yr old clogged drain I had.

Narrator is over thinking capacity issue. The new TR models have the agitator attached to the drum so they move together, thus NOT grinding fabric of bulky items. So capacity is only a problem with the old CLASSIC models (which are still available and unbeatable for very dirty, greasy clothes, like what construction workers or mechanics bring home).

[@Lasertrac]

Perhaps you've already done a video on this but I'd like your impression on the Speed Queen front loaders.

[@jeromep]

My parents have a Speed Queen front loader. It is a few years old, but is rock solid. They have rear controls, not front controls, but that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t bounce or get out of balance. Everything seems to be made of metal except for the soap drawer and the control knobs, but it is just a tank.

[@cindylieuhoo]

I love my SQ front loader!

[@petermaz701]

I don’t think you should wait at all if you need to get a new washer, get yourself a speed queen. There is a small niche of customers that is going to wash king size comforters in a top load washer. They should be washed in the front load washer. There isn’t a top load washer on the market that can handle a king size comforter. The speed queen can easily wash, queen size blanket, I have washed a queen size comforter in my speed queen, not the bulky ones, but a regular one. So to wait for the large capacity speed queen is really silly.

We’ve had a Speed Queen top load washer for probably 5 years now. We love it! We can fit our Queen size comforter in it, but not King size!

[@billredding2000]

For me (being single), the smaller tub capacity of a Speed Queen wouldn't be any issue whatsoever. I used to wash ALL my stuff by hand (for over 30 years) so if I need to go back to washing a comforter by hand, that's fine. Besides, I STILL wash large bulky items such as blankets by hand anyway. I don't ever use a dryer, as I air-dry my clothes...so all I really need nowadays (for convenience) is a washer. Even if I let laundry pile-up, even THEN I don't have THAT much to wash really, so the smaller tubs Speed Queens have wouldn't in any way stop me from getting one (or waiting until they came out with larger-capacity tubs). Of course, I realize my situation is not "the norm" and so most people have different requirements -- AND likely families -- so I can see where a larger capacity tub would be better...for me though, it isn't. -- BR

[@hiker-uy1bi]

you don't machine dry your towels?

[@billredding2000]

@@hiker-uy1bi No, I air-dry them. Same for blankets, etc. In all the apts I've rented that came with a W/D, I never used the dryer -- a waste of money (electric bill) that isn't necessary. And what's the "urgency" to get something dry anyway? There isn't. I hope to buy a house in 2 years (in Colorado Springs) when the market is less insane, but even then would not buy a dryer, just a washer. In the space next to the washer -- where a dryer would have been in "normal" households, I'd build a rack to hold my large ("AquaTainers") of water, part of my Emergency Supplies (food, water, power, etc.) I always have on hand no matter where I live (even when renting). Having the water there in that space instead of a dryer is WAY more useful to me. -- BR

It's 7-21-2024, have there been any updates on this size increase?

[@Antiorganizer]

Slight problem with this reasoning.... Governments seem to mandate that washers with larger tubs, are not allowed to be filling to the rim. We see this on all those washers that say 4.4, 5, 6 cu ft, etc. There are various demos on KZbin, where people rigged the lid lock so that you can see the washing action. And all those ones above 4.0 cu ft, they all use a partial water load. 1/2 or like 2/3 max, never more. Those machines don't submerge the clothes, but the clothes partially stick above the water. Do we really want a machine like that? Might compromising by sticking with the below 4.0 cu ft ones, provide a better wash? I think so ! And for those (very) odd times where one must actually wash a king size comforter, which happens how often again? - one could take it to the dry-cleaners. Not laundromat, but dry cleaners. So I don't know if size is all such a problem here. Again, look at all the videos of large washers. It's very questionable how well they clean !!!

[@crazycasy]

The larger capacity on these washers these days is misleading when the suspension's cant handle those heavy loads, the SQ has smaller capacity but can handle the weight no prob..

[@elizabethb7932]

I moved from a house with a new whirpool top loader, and when I'd wash our queen comforter, a portion would come out dry. Like no water had ever touched it even after a full wash cycle on deep water, bedding. I recently got the TC5 and it does a great job washing that same comforter. If you pay attention to owners manuals, you can fill speed queen to the top. New "large capacity" washers can be filled 3/4 of the way at most. The true capacity ends up being the same as a SQ.

[@moxieme65]

I have a working Kenmore 80 washer & dryer from 1985. The washer is starting to make a hard snapping/clunking noise after the spin cycle. I was looking at the Speed Queen, but now I think I'll tear the Kenmore apart to see what is making the noise and fix it myself. The Kenmore 80 says it is heavy duty/high capacity. I'm not sure what the actual capacity is. The lid doesn't lock. I've never used a washer with a locking lid. My Kenmore Elite French door fridge from 2000 went out a couple years ago, but I replaced the start capacitor, relay, and an evaporator coil fan, and it hasn't given me any more problems. It may last another 20 years.

And a question-would that new giant SQ washer meet the new water/energy use requirements? I feel these regs are dumb and need to go. Let the USER decide how much water or power for his washloads. I don’t know how old the SQ washers and dryers at the motel are-they still soldier on! But showing their age-not as quiet as new SQ washers of the same model#.

Just scheduled my 2nd repair on a 5-year-old LG washer. That may not sound like much, but two $300 repairs on a $600 washer is where I'm at. For me it's not so much the money, as much as the HASSLE of having to chase down repair people, schedule, negotiate, haggle, wait for the work to be done, AND play money. Also during that time my family of 5 cannot wash their laundry. I am becoming a huge _Speed Queen_ fan right quick. 😁 As for the laundromat thing, I'm not concerned as much about "other people's water"; I'd just use an extra cupful of *Lysol Laundry Sanitizer* . But for me, the time and complexity hassle of driving to the laundromat, paying, waiting, and carrying the laundry back would drive me bonkers. NEVER BUY LG OR SAMSUNG APPLIANCES. Sure, they look real nice. And they work (for the first 12-18 months). But after that it's headaches and interruptions! If you have LG kitchen and laundry appliances, and other stuff, and, say, a Tesla car, you will be spending a full time job just handling the breakdowns. Chasing down warranties, calling and babysitting repair people, etc. Not a pleasant lifestyle! 😡

I have had a front load LG with direct drive for about 8 years. Not one issue. Got it about 8 years ago from big box store. It's been outstanding. After watching a lot of washer videos..I have learned that Front loaders are the best lasting normally ..because it does not need to move clothes up and down or from side to side(no agitator etc needed).....and since virtually all new washers comply with federal water saving measures, Top loaders often have a lack of proper water filling/ clothes cleaning challenges. Just my experiences and I suspect you are having issues with a Top loader?

Considering that a speed queen will wash your clothes well in half the time that it takes other brands, you can afford to have a smaller tub and get a lot of laundry done. One thing I don't like about your video is the scare tactics of using laundromats. No "germs" are going to get on your clothes, and most people are using standard detergent which isn't harsh cancer causing chemicals. People need to use laundromats because that's life, and you don't need to try to scare people. If you have super sensitive skin, you may have to be careful still. The convenience alone of not having to go to the Laundromat is enough to make people not want to have to go. So, if you need a new washer and dryer, just get a speed queen. If you just want to upgrade just because, go ahead and see what comes out.

Looks like Speed Queen has no plans to build a top load washer with a bigger tub. I called SQ directly and a large distributor that both acted annoyed with the question with a resounding NO we are not building a larger tub top loading washer. Anyone hear different? Bummer if true !

[@patronsaintofnow9765]

Please - you mentioned something PIVOTAL here at 1:16 and I would like to see a video dedicated to it; the idea many people have that because you have a large tub you can do a whole week's worth of laundry in one shot - resulting in wearing out/breaking the suspension, agitator and washplate. Why can't people understand that is awful for the machine? Been trying to get this through a family member's head and they just don't get it!

[@mcswabin207]

We get that you're a shill for them. Number 1: No one 'decides' to buy a new washer. They have to buy a new washer. Number 2: 'Building a new plant in Texas'. Getting shipable units out of that facility will take at least 3 years.

[@jamesorsby7553]

Well... Most of those LG and Samsung top load washers with those big capacities only fill up the tub halfway with water anyway, so even though they'll fit a king size comforter, they can't wash or rinse them effectively without the water. If you'll be washing a lot of king size comforters, play it safe, and just buy a big capacity front loader.

[@annas7715]

More water doesn’t necessarily clean better than less water. Detergent cleans textiles. Dirty water is removed in the spin cycle. In any type of machine, cleaning effectiveness is influenced by the optimal combination of pretreating stains, detergent (type & amount), wash & rinse cycles, spin cycle speed to extract the wash & rinse water.

We are buying a TC5 from a local family owned business (they also service these). To me it makes no sense as ours just died and buying a $500-$800 pos from a big box store and have to possibly replace it in five years. Our broken down washer is only 3.2cu so I'm not to concerned about size. Now I've heard Speed Queens can break down as well...just a roll of the dice to me.

[@kalanikaau1]

So are you suggesting that people should buy a purported larger capacity washer which will last 5 years (if you're lucky) before it's pushed to the curb? Your theory on economics is totally ass-backwards...

[@vickiebutzler2662]

I have the Tr5..not worth the money for me. I don't need fancy but there is no soak cycle for one, when I contacted them for an issue with the dryer which happened 3 times in the first 3 months I was more than upset after having spent 2500.00! Told me to contact the dealer. Very disappointed with the machine and the price. I want to put in my own amount of water with soak and spin out cycles and my own water levels. Wish we had the Lady Kenmores of the 70s..now that was a good machine!! All the new ones are junk..

[@msoul3248]

We bought a speedqueen less than a month and a half ago in Amite, La. It worked fantastic at first but now it stops during the wash (with water still inside) and two lights blink on the controls. The only way to reset it is to unplug it and it may do it again or complete the cycle.

[@mossyoakmom8880]

Should be under warranty.

[@exittiming2789]

Bought one. Size is plenty big. Washed 2 huge blankets at the same time. Just don’t use extra fill option. Cleans everything so much better with agitation. Bulletproof and worth every penny

[@mikesecor6074]

and they will raise the price by 500 bucks.

[@PopeyeSailor-wz7ew]

SQ is NOT a Caddy. It's a Toyota. Reliable and ugly with no bells and whistles. Ford maybe because made in USA.

[@PopeyeSailor-wz7ew]

Stihl would be a good example. Reliable American brand and pricey but worth it. Still (pun unintended) uses the old design yet no one cares.

[@Pakopako2280]

Start off every video with Speed queen Only for office workers only dose not get close clean for shitt only swishing water around

[@sarahierstein8169]

If the make the TC series bigger than I would wait but I do not trust the TR7 to be any less crappy than all the other machines with the outer drum that spins. It makes the clothes do a useless floaty dance and they still STINK

[@neoturfmasterMVS]

The only front loaders that are great are commercial models that cost $2,000 - $3,000+ If your looking to spend under $1400 there's only two washer to consider: Speed Queen TC5 and Maytag Commercial. Anyone telling you otherwise is flat out misleading you for other reasons. They aren't recommending a washer that agitates and cleans the best. Their version of 'best' has more to do with optimized, not clean. I know way to much about washer now.

[@gabrielbatash7952]

Forget about Maytag Commercial, it's pain in the ass.

[@Learning4fun4me]

Thinking of getting the Maytag MVWP586GW. Saw good reviews on You Tube. A few hundred dollars less than SQ and 3.5 cubic.

[@margarethawk3073]

I just bought a used Speed Queen washer dryer set. The lady I bought it from said she could wash a queen size comforter in it. That is the biggest size comforter we have in the house, so hoping this washer works well. BTW, I have a Maytag that I hope to get rid of so I can have the Speed Queen hooked up. My Maytag has been nothing but problems!

[@terrizierke8528]

I'm getting a Speed Queen after saying GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE to my 3rd MayTag washer. Longest any lasted was 3 1/2 years! 😢 💔 I'm hoping this Speed Queen will last longer 🤦‍♀️

[@kayfortner7150]

My Maytag commercial technology washer has been the worst machine I've ever bought. Model MVWB765FW0 It has cost me so much in repairs that I have paid for it twice. This has the large drum, but it really doesn't wash a set of queen size sheets right. They come out a twisted mess. Don't make me laugh about putting a comforter in, because that would be asking for the Maytag to finally fall apart. The huge drum is for light loads only! About the Maytag dryer, more junk. It has been worked on twice. And, the lint screen is the worst mess! The pair was bought new in 2017 I feel sorry for anybody who buys Maytag. Every time I use this washer, I know it could quit on me for the last time. I would feel guilty to give this equipment away. Experience tells me I have two choices, SPEED QUEEN, or else the cheapest set I can find. There is no middle ground.

[@terrizierke8528]

Best decision i ever made was getting rid of my Maytag and buyi Speed Queen! I love this washer. My clothes are so much cleaner now and I can wash everything in it!! ❤​@@kayfortner7150
