Speed Queen TR 7 Heavy Duty Cycle using Tide powered detergent.

[@maryrobert80]

Peter they say that there is an enzyme in powdered detergent that they can't liquify in liquid and that powder will actually do a better job cleaning your clothes... I personally think that all of these liquid detergents are what's making our washers smell and why we have to use cleaning cycles to make them smell good again... The liquid clings to the outer tub and builds up over time making it scummy and the dirt and hair start to cling to the scum and that's what makes the machine start to smell... Let's face it When our mother's only had powdered detergent to use, their washers never smelled and they didn't have to put the machine through any kind of cleaning cycle because everything always rinsed out!!! Thanks for the video and Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year...

[@petermaz701]

You're absolutely right Robert, and have a wonderful holiday. I agree with you 100% never had these issues in the older machines years ago when I used to wash clothes for my mother, and we use powdered detergent Dash 100 years ago because it was low sudsing we needed that for the GE filter flow because it made so much suds. My mother got commercial laundry powder because it was cheaper to buy the whole tub, like a little barrel.

We need the enzymes

The fabric softeners that folks are using makes the machine get gummy. I bought a used machine that I had to take apart and deep clean it. There was no way any cleaning cycles of any kind would have gotten it clean.

[@maryrobert80]

@@Christ-is-King- I agree with you 100%, Any of this Liquid junk will make the machine scummy over time and make it start to smell!!!

[@jeromedavis8575]

Hey! Welcome back! Happy holidays! I'd use autofill and heavy duty.

[@ASMRDresses]

I love washing machine videos!

[@petermaz701]

So do I. Lol

[@TEC_Stuff]

The video ended just when it was getting good. The rinse cycle and final spin is a good way to determine if there is detergent film left on clothes, which might mean adding a second rinse cycle before putting the load in the dryer.

[@petermaz701]

Very good point I will keep that in mind. I just felt the people didn't want to sit there and watch to the end.

[@erg844]

You know Pete I really don't understand what all of the fuss and hate of this particular washer is about maybe because some people are so stubborn and small minded when it comes to educating themselves on this washer and trying to understand how this washer does its job. I love this washer and in fact I'm proud to call it my friend because she's an adorable washer. I will never get bored of watching this washer in action because unlike some people I'm very open minded to this kind of washing style. Okay so it's an "agi-tub" washer but I'm pretty sure there were other kinds of washers that performed this "agi-tub" style but as soon as Speed Queen decided to be creative about it everyone jumped down their throats and I've read and heard everything what people felt about the TR series young and old and quite frankly I find it petty and childish. Pete I have to give you my props on opening my mind into liking this washer because it's not as bad as many other people are making it seem. The hate on this washer is crazy and as I stated before no one and nobody else put a gun to their heads and forced them to spend thousands of dollars of their hard earned money on a washer if they already knew that it wasn't gonna satisfy their needs on washing performance. At least Speed Queen took a leap of faith to try something new. My profile picture is a photo of the TR series washer and dryer pair. I don't have one but even if I did have one I'll be forever grateful. Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's okay but what people should take into account is that a washer's job is to wash their clothes and that they come out clean whatever brand of washer they choose. But the numerous complaining and telling other people to not buy a Speed Queen washer for whatever personal reason it may be is just petty and ridiculous. Once again Pete thank you for sharing your videos on this washer and educating other Speed Queen enthusiasts on what it can do. Sorry for my rant but I will always support Speed Queen and continue to give them and you especially my props.

[@petermaz701]

I couldn't have said it better myself you hit every nail on the head. I think the machine works fantastic. If I had to get rid of all my other machines, I would keep this one because it is the most versible machine. It's modern yet built like an old-fashioned.

[@erg844]

@@petermaz701 Thank you and I totally agree. It is very versatile and plus I downloaded the PDF manual of this washer from their website and it explains everything about this washer and what it can do. I also read about the Special Cycles and the descriptions and I thought it was very awesome. Have you tried them yet?

[@petermaz701]

@@erg844 yes I've tried number four. I think I'm one other one. I think the plastic one when I did the shower liner I don't remember.

[@erg844]

@@petermaz701 Number four in the manual is Super Soiled (P4) which is longer than the Heavy Duty Cycle with an Extra Rinse. The Waterproof Cycle is P3 you used for the plastic shower liner. It says that it uses a lower water level and gentle agitation

[@petermaz701]

@@erg844 yes, P4 I use when I do my white towels with my socks. and I must've tried the other one when I did my plastic shower liner

I think the powder is great. I use tide original too. I like my new/used SQ.

Great video! Would you please be able to demonstrate how it handles with a very large load. Thank you.

[@petermaz701]

@@tarzanjammy yes and in that case they would hit the heavy duty cycle and that takes care of it all. This is medium agitation on permanent press. Heavy duty Normal Eco use a stronger agitation profile. Bulky also does, but it doesn't spin as fast at the end.

[@zeidansara1]

In this model, the water does not cover all the towels, which makes spots over the clothes and causes different hues of the same colour, similar washer from whirlpool destroys my clothes

[@shawn_143]

I had a Cabrio washer before I got this. The cabrio was better in every way minus the reliability. The computer board started messing up but that could be fixed for around 300. I just don't get the hype of the speed queen. They don't do anything all that great and after the spin cycle the clothes are still soaked which just makes for longer dry times. It's like a prius don't look all that great no bells or whistles you won't win a race and girls aren't impressed but it will last and give you little issue

[@petermaz701]

Do you have a speed queen that you can make that comment the speed queen TR series spins much faster than any Cabrio could spin you are lucky you're spin at 600 RPMs the speed queen TR series spins at 820 RPMs. The versatility is far superior than any Washer out there especially a piece of junk Cabrio.

[@shawn_143]

@@petermaz701 yes I have the tr7. I got it to replace the cabrio. A quick search I see the cabrio spins at 1000rpm . I can tell you from personal experience things came out of the cabrio much dryer than the tr7. I wouldn't really say it has been junk. I can't remember when I got it but it's been around 8 to 10 years ago. Never had any issues until recently and even then it's still repairable. I just decided let's get something new. Started seeing all this great talk about speed queen and gave it a shot. I just don't think it's all that great especially for the price. Reliability isn't really all that important. It takes an hour to run to lowes and get a new washer installed. Time will tell but I'm sure the speed queen has hiccups on their way to 25 year life span they claim

[@petermaz701]

@@shawn_143 yes, you could be right we don't know what the future brings. From the days when you bought your Cabrio, the whirlpool line has definitely cheapened the machines that are out there now probably won't even last as long as your Cabrio lasted. Now I certainly don't mind changing machines I've had my share, but as far as versatility, there's nothing out there. Trust me I've had many many machines. This is what I do if you like different settings and different adjustments there's nothing like the TR 7 the other TR cannot do what the TR7 can do, you could adjust cycle times you name it, it could be adjusted. Even if you accidentally use the wrong water level, the machine will put in the right amount whether you have it on auto fill or not other machines just can't do that. That's what I meant. I'm sorry to call your Washer junk. That was wrong, but I think that they are making junk machines now across the board.

[@shawn_143]

@@petermaz701 it's still pretty new to me it's just first impressions maybe some buyers remorse. Maybe my mind will change in time but for now it's just not all that impressive. The end of the day it's just a washer and I personally don't mess with it much. I just get the wife or kid telling me when there's a problem. If I can go 20 years and never hear that guess I'll be happy

I didn't know you could still get Tide original powdered detergent. I'm guessing it come in high efficiency compatible now. I didn't know you could buy bleach pods. That would come in handy over pouring liquid in there since bleach splashing ruins clothes. That washer is so quiet. It just sounds like water sloshing around most of the time. It was starting to put me to sleep. It would make great ASMR for sleep.

[@petermaz701]

Lol yes definitely a very soothing sound. Target has the tide powder. I was surprised myself to see it and most of the times they carry the Clorox pods also.

[@jeromedavis8575]

You seriously need to do ASMR with this washer. I would also use fabric softener for softness, freshness and suds control.@@petermaz701

hey you still have to do my request of the electrolux front loading set

[@patcola7335]

Nice demonstration Pete. So how did the load turn out? You know of all those little washing machines you have, my favorite is the structo. The control panel reminds me of a late '70s lady Kenmore washer

[@petermaz701]

They're still in the dryer, but when I put it in there, I think I didn't see any stain so that detergent is really good

[@patcola7335]

Pete, don't you know if it's got to be clean? It's got to be Tide ?😁

[@mikeboyd9313]

Seriously considering the tr7. So you do recommend it? Anything you don't like about it? And does it definitely clean clothes?

[@petermaz701]

To be very honest with you yes it does clean clothes. I don't know what they claim that it doesn't clean you just need to know how to use the machine and use the proper cycle. If you know you're putting in really dirty clothes, you have to put it higher than medium soil level put it on heavy soil or it even has max soil level. It's definitely the most versatile machine I've ever owned as far as user changeability of the different cycles. I don't have a negative but if you come out with one, please let me know if you do get the machine.

[@mikeboyd9313]

@petermaz701 Thanks man. We'll probably get one. It's nice to talk to someone that actually has one and not going by the haters online.

Is easy to make it work with lid open?

Just look up how to defeat the lid switch and as far as the locking switch right when it's ready to lock put a little cap in there to be overridden as well. I have a few videos on it.

Speed queens are pretty underwhelming in every category except reliability. So what if you have 25 years of reliability with underwhelming results

[@petermaz701]

I honestly don't understand what you mean about underwhelming I don't think there's a washer out there except for the Maytag and whirlpool commercial units that are worth two cents and those won't last as long as the speed queen, not even half the lifetime of a speed queen. All the washers out there are garbage and they don't clean front loaders are a different category.
