Speed Queen FF7 Front Load Washer - Colored Towels Bulky Cycle

To go along with the white towel Quick Wash cycle video, I decided to wash some old colored towels I had around the house. I used the Bulky cycle and the highest soil level in order for additional water to be used. I intend to get my Maytag commercial style washer hooked up soon and use my new lights and microphone to record similar style videos with that machine. With the machine properly leveled, it runs very smooth as evidenced by this video. Very happy with the FF7 Front Loading washer so far.

Chris, For heavily soiled items (like a white towel covered in ketchup) how would you say it compares cleaning-wise to your Maytag Commercial Top Loader (MVWP575GW)?

[@petermaz701]

This washer will give you years of service. Built exceedingly well. The only gripe I would have if you can call it that, applies to all front loaders, I wish they used a smidgen more water.

[@chrisw.3077]

Agreed on that, I believe the water level can be changed, but I need to do some research on how to do it without some kind of bootleg modification.

@@chrisw.3077 If you’re pretty handy you could probably do it once you look it up. I’m just wondering is everything digital or is there a little screw that you could turn, just a little more would be fantastic.

@@petermaz701 Digital I have a FF7 front load and the water level sensor is unfortunately non adjustable. There is no screw to be found the water level sensor has a chip internally.

[@JohnSmith-bn7bl]

agree.

unless you're getting poor washing/rinsing results why do you need more water?

I bought the first domestic front loader that Speed Queen came out with and it’s seventeen years old now. I’ve never had a problem with it except for a sample bug with the detergent dispenser that Speed Queen quickly replaced when it was new. They work as well as the did the day I bought them. I bought the rear control panel model with the rotary knobs and I bought the third dryer up from the bottom on purpose because I wanted the temperature selections including air dry but I didn’t want automatic moisture sensors because I use dryer sheets when I dry bed linens and dryer sheets cause residue buildup on moister sensors. Also in selecting the specific models that I did the cost was about as much as the top model pair offered by Kitchenaid in their front loaders at the time.

Is this a loud washer? It sounds really loud

[@chrisw.3077]

Stick your head next to a washer while it’s running and tell me how it sounds. Per the description, I have a mic ON the door.

Do you use this and the maytag

[@chrisw.3077]

That’s the plan, I am in the process of getting a new garage door so they’re not in use right now until all of that is done. The new lighting will work much better with the Maytag since there won’t be glass to deal with. I am literally using a spotlight.

Nice job!

Thank you!

Hi Chris: How long have you had the Speed Queen? How do you like it so far? What I like about the Speed Queen is that it doesn't do all that sensing which takes up a lot of time.

Hi, please take a look at my review video on this machine. I’ve had it now about a month and it works well.
