Speed Queen isn't for Everyone!

[@richs.7373]

Speed Queen needs to make a "Size Queen" model for those that need more capacity

[@NoSpam1891]

So many jokes.

[@breannasmith5648]

I wash my queen quilts no issues. When I bought it they said up to a queen can fit in it and it works great!

[@gbriank1]

Oh they do Richs...and do you know where you can find it??? On the Commercial SQ pages.

[@CA1567-v8p]

They need to make a spit queen for those with not much money

[@gbriank1]

If they did, they couldn't sell it...legally. The EPA and other Government institution have passed laws about how much water washers can use. The "DEEP WATER" or "DEEP CYCLE" allows owners to temporarily override those limitations. I can't remember if it is 2025 or 2030 when that override will not be allowed anymore.. I joke about how deep immersion washers and how you should stock up parts. The reality is, that day is coming very fast. The Government knows how well built the Speed Queen's are. The only way to force consumers into a front loader is to limit or ban parts for older machines.

[@amatthews8827]

I can wash a king size comforter in my Speed Queen no problem.

[@BRWfilms]

Same. Speed queen last and easy to repair. I wouldn't trust the digital display models but ours have lasted years and years with knobs

[@jsisneros68js]

I've always washed my king and queen size comforter and blankets in my speed queen.

[@ollie1464]

Why doesn't speed queen make a larger capacity washer?

[@Nursejea]

Probably paid not too by other brands..lobbying

[@neilbrown82]

Lol Last "cheaper "style Washer I had cost ten bucks and I repaired it for $45 worked for 5 years till the house burnt down😂

[@mrt076]

exactly…personally, had Samsung, Whirlpool, LG l, and so other builder grade and all of them lasted over 8 years with everything thrown at it. Yes Speed Queens are built well but it’s not the end all. Finally if you can assemble kids toys, you can go to KZbin and fix your washer and dryer your self. There are so many tutorials on KZbin. My personal experience and thoughts.

[@goldengirls0125]

Speed queen can handle king size comforter. What more do you need ?

[@johnoofsatchurch]

Tr series, yes. But my LWN432 went into overloaded mode when I put a king size comforter in (overloaded mode stops the motor from burning out)

[@fetishartist137]

Strangely enough, I have a Roper floor model that looks awful, but has lasted over 15 years. Simple works.

[@DJ-sv7xf]

I had to use the laundromat in AL. My office clothes came out of the washer smelling like skunk.

[@geneo317]

Hey when I was younger actually top loaders where not that big on capacity, but they where built like tanks in American factories. So you have a big family well you are going to have to do more loads even if you have a front loader. We had Kenmore washers and a big family never had issues.

[@user-kf5og6xz8g]

Sir ... Mostly majority of laundromat machines like Wascomat/Electrolux or Dexter Speed Queen front loaders HAVE A DROP DUMP FOR FULL WATER EMPTYING . Which leaves mostly no standing water in the outer Tubes. And if the little scum or particles will be killed by detergent and or dryers eliminates those particles at 150 to 160 F . And doing comforters should be washed at the Laundromat like heavy queen or King size should do better washing in front loaders. In larger drums and hefty machines that handle them properly .

[@dragor6527]

Not all laundromats have commercial units. A lot have residential washers

[@jamesr2888]

My grandfather sold boxcar loads of Speed Queen washers & dryers in the 50's.

[@LiberatedMind1]

Speed Queen front loaders have large capacity options, but cost a pretty penny.

[@Lasertrac]

Speed Queen does make a front loader. Usually too pricey for everyone.

[@nesq4104]

I have a speed queen front loader. Spent 1500 as a scratch and dent

[@apAvocado]

@@nesq4104 I hope it came with a warranty.

[@nesq4104]

@@apAvocado 90 day warranty from store. I think SQ has a manufacturer warranty. I have it 2 years so far. No problems. The model might be from 2021. I bought in 2022

[@djr4840]

I fit my king sized blankets and comforters just fine in my tr7. The water goes all the way up. My two year long relationship with the LG front loader could not handle that and gave up after two years. 3400cw series

[@nealgunderson7799]

Just bought a speedqueen over the weekend. I did try to do a comforter and got an error message. In the machines defense, though, it should have been re-leveled due to someone moving it just prior to doing the comforter.

[@djr4840]

@@nealgunderson7799 I fit a 10’ x 10’ “big blanket as well as a king comforter with zero issue. I did however make sure the machine was perfectly level when I got it. I do also position the bigger items evenly around the agitator

[@isaachy777]

Definitely, laundry mats are biohazards

[@LaLuna-sl7cy]

We bought a SQ washer and dryer 17 yrs ago. It's just two of us. Avoided the pretty front HD brands that were over $1000 ea. If they stopped working tomorrow, we def got our money's worth. Pd $1200 for W & D seventeen yrs ago. They commercial built appliances....good then not sure about now....😊

[@apAvocado]

You're correct. Speed Queen was bought out a few years ago and their quality is no longer there. Sad.

[@gbriank1]

Why not talk about the front loading Speed Queen? They do have a larger capacity than the top loader, they clean better, can fit a queen sized blanket easily.

[@user-oq5bv8ue4c]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@gbriank1]

@@user-oq5bv8ue4c I have friends that go through a new washer every 5 years or so and the dryer 8 years. They are a busy family of five. Laundry twice a day. The allure of a $800 machine somehow keeps getting chosen. They are on machine 6 (or 7) in the last 20 years. I keep telling them to buy a front load SQ. As for dryers, SQ isn't anything special. Just buy whatever moisture sensor'd machine you can.

[@Styner09]

No residential washer is good for doing blankets. Always take those big blankets to the Laundromat.

[@nesq4104]

Nope. It's called a front loader

[@athay14]

That's ok. I'll take my chances

[@Tigerwarhawk]

Detergent and sanitizer works wonders.

[@ron1352]

Lame, video had nothing of value to share!

[@BIG_Z_69]

You didn’t explain at all why the speed Queen is not the perfect fit for every person…. Are you saying because it’s too small…. Good one

[@tenkill]

I'm more worried about fish piss in the water.

Buy a SQ, you won’t regret it.

[@jenicemckenzie7164]

Really?

[@Wigeon3211]

@@jenicemckenzie7164 Yep, you will not regret it! Those plain Jane top loads will take a stuffing and wash just fine. I watched sorority girls compress clothes in them and they held up like battle wagons in a war to get as much in a $2 load as possible. Made me a believer.

When you go to the Laundromat and use the machine I just used you'll get my dogs diarrhea or vomit leftovers because that's usually when I go to a laundromat

[@apAvocado]

Gee, thanks. I hope you at least add a sanitizer to your load. Lysol or Clorox laundry sanitizer.

[@juriosz]

@@apAvocado 👎 never, why would I do that?

[@maricelaest.]

what machine do you recommend for washing big blankets? At this point idc about the price just something that will wash them. I bought a GE two days ago and it wont even wash small loads without moving 3 or 4 feet. It was professionally installed and balanced so idk what the deal is with it but I am returning it.

[@Goldenwoodz]

If you find yourself doing blankets a lot, get a good old fashioned whirlpool Kenmore kitchenaid direct drive washer, or an older speed queen. The new speed queens, I don’t care of it’s the classic one, is not built on the same reliability as it once used to and is compromised by a digital control panel. The old mechanical machines are the hands down best machines. Don’t ever buy a new washer. Biggest mistake you’ll make when it comes to appliance buying. Also, SQ machines are highly overpriced. The new speed queens are really only worth about 600 at the most, yet they sell them for 2,500 a set, if not more.

[@apAvocado]

Agree. Very overpriced. These days all appliances are all about replace, replace.

[@mscvandrabrown]

I thought I heard that speed queen was coming out with a larger washer. Is that true? Also if you need a larger washer why no recommendations?

[@davekirkpatrick5724]

I’ve never seen leftover water or scum in a machine at the laundromat, and I have successfully used front loaders to wash comforters at the laundromat.

[@charlottekelly4204]

its there in the outer drum, you are looking at the inner drum. we usually run an empty load on hot cycle every few months to freshen them up, but that's pretty much the extent of it.

[@Detroitblue]

This comments maks no sense to me but I assume you are trying to say Speed Queen's are reliable but its smaller load capacity can be a draw back if you need to wash large items like blankets frequently.

[@job1925a]

Could I was a 20 lb weighted blanket in a Speed Queen? The tag says it is machine washable.

[@imzjustplayin]

I buy/find cheaper LG washers, fix them then use them. Hard to imagine spending $1000+ on a washer.

[@vermontmike9800]

Most brands last 3-5 years for $700 each. Over 20 years that could be 4-6 purchases which comes out to $2100-3500 versus buying one $1200 SQ during the same amount of time.

[@imzjustplayin]

I have a 15 year old LG front load washer that I picked up because my neighbor trashed it due to it not working any more. Replaced a temperature sensor and cleaned the contacts for the dial on the control board, it's now my primary washing machine.@@vermontmike9800

[@apAvocado]

@@vermontmike9800 I paid close to $1000 for a top-load basic, Speed Squeen 12 years ago. It lasted 7 years. Family of 6. It should have lasted longer. The drum rusted out. Drum was not covered by warranty at the 7-year mark. I'll never buy another speed queen in my life. They're overpriced.
