Speed Queen FF7 Front Loader Quick Wash - A Cinematic Experience

This is the first in my series of DSLR recorded wash cycles. I've since upgraded lights and made other improvements.

[@petermaz701]

It truly was a “ cinematic experience” in the beginning of the cycle the long pauses between rotations surprised me.

[@chrisw.3077]

Thank you, this will be even better when I figure out how to use a microphone.

@@chrisw.3077 I’m definitely with you I’m not good at it I just did a couple of videos and I had to do so many parts because I don’t even know how to pause the phone

[@chrisw.3077]

@@petermaz701 usually if I’m doing a video, I put the phone into airplane mode so there are no interruptions.

[@patcola7335]

@@chrisw.3077 Thanks Chris for that little bit of advice. I usually would take the SIM card out and put it in my other phone so I can record video without interruption.

[@chrisw.3077]

That’s a good idea too.

[@astarisborn9820]

Amazing how it cleans 🧼 with barely any water 💦, I’m shocked! 😳

[@jpaul4595]

Not very informative video. No information on how well it cleans, reliability … important details. Just a video of the machine operating

[@chrisw.3077]

Go look at my other videos.

[@dontdoxmebro]

How does this handle heavy soiled clothes? Like grease, motor oil, etc…

[@jackle842000]

What I was wandering. They likely have no clue

[@Michael-uv2jr]

Which are you finding cleaned better the Maytag or this washer? If im understanding correctly it sounds like wash times on this machine are not any longer than the Maytag. Is that correct?

[@chrisw.3077]

Maytag doesn’t have a quick wash setting, but the rest they do share seem to be comparable. They’re both very fast machines.

[@chrisw.3077]

In terms of cleaning, the Maytag seems to clean my microfiber cloth better, but my bath towels seem to feel crisper coming from the Speed Queen.

[@chrisw.3077]

Maytag seems to do better with bed sheets. I don’t think there’s any substituting the true soaking action of a top loader.

[@Michael-uv2jr]

Are you finding there is enough water in this machine for large loads or do some of the clothes come out with dry spots like HE top loaders?

[@chrisw.3077]

Nothing is coming out with dry spots. The way this machines turns over clothes, that seems impossible.

[@patcola7335]

Dry spots on an HE top loader would be because of the spin drying.

[@alecvip7562]

@@patcola7335 nope, he top loaders quite literally can't get the entire load wet. HE seriously only works with from loadeds since they don't need a full tub of water for everything to get wet.

[@patcola7335]

@@alecvip7562 Alec not true. Had an he top loader back in 2011. A Maytag Bravos. Never had a problem with clothes not getting thoroughly wet. At the time it was a "tier3" for energy efficiency. I think many people buy an high efficiency machine thinking somehow it's going to work like their old top loader did.

It looks like I'm standing in front of it at a laundromat.

[@chrisw.3077]

I am literally crying happy tears. All I ever wanted to do was to bring the laundromat home to me and to all of you too.

[@ericgreen4610]

@@chrisw.3077 This video is awesome. It really made it feel like I was at a laundromat standing in front of it or just watching it from my chair.

[@chrisw.3077]

Thanks! I was trying some other microphone and lighting options tonight and they didn’t come out as good. I need two lights I think to get rid of some of the shadows and will probably stick with the mic I was using originally.

[@ericgreen4610]

@@chrisw.3077 When I came across the video I had to check it out. Quite different from the other washer videos I watched but your video to me was very interesting and that's why I came up with that comment immediately. The quality was dope.

[@kc1758]

I have the same washer. Have you noticed any walking of the machine during spin cycles with towels?or just with a lot of clothes in general. My machine will rattle and shake. Its perfectly leveled and the legs are locked in place with the bolt, shipping bolts and bracket off. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@chrisw.3077]

How did you level it?
