Thanks for all the feedback guys... I am definitely going to keep the machine for a while and see how it does. I actually do really like the machine. It cleans very well and aside from that one annoying rattle noise it is actually pretty quiet. I did contact Alliance and they watched the video...

When I bought my 542 last week I had another conversation with the salesman about the new SQ models and he said that with the Eco feature the new washers will use about 1/3rd less water than the current washers. From what he was saying it sounded like there are two sets of water levels, there...

@rp2813 - I actually meant getting a replacement from the dealer I bought it from. They say they have a 60 day return policy and will stand behind the products they sell so I'm under the impression they would be willing to take it back and give me a new one. I realize that the issue may end up...

@cleanguy - thanks for the info. I did just go and look again but I don't see any way to slide the mounting bracket. It looks like it is solidly bolted into place. I just don't see any bolts that when loosened would allow the bracket to slide. Also, the motor is already very close to the front...

Noise Thanks for all the info guys. I'm going to contact Speed Queen and see what they have to say about the noise. I've now ran 9 loads of clothes and the noise is still there and may have actually increases just a bit. I did look again and I think you guys who are saying that it may be the...

Video Thanks for the info washman, that makes me feel better about the shipping plug. I did do a quick video so you can hear the noise I'm talking about. This is during the second full wash that I've done with clothes. Is this the noise that's caused by the tub indexing or is this something...

So I received my new washer but have a few observations and questions for you guys. 1. As the delivery guys were installing the washer I started looking over the installation manual and I realized that they may not have done a few things correctly. First the washer did not have the bottom...

Launch time... I just wanted to follow up on my earlier post about when the new SQ models would be available to purchase. Even though I already purchased the 542, one of the dealers I spoke to last week got back to me today and said that he had spoken with his Alliance rep and that the rep...

Thanks for all the info guys... I can't wait to get the new machine!

Purchased AWN542... Hi All, I went ahead and purchased the AWN542 this past Saturday and it will be delivered/installed at the end of the week. Are there certain things I should look for when inspecting the washer? I've read that there was a grease in the tub issue and also a rough...

Dealers I spoke with two of my local SQ dealers yesterday and both of them said the new 2015 line would not be available to purchase until after the 1st quarter. One of them said that the next phase of EPA regs goes into effect after March of this year and once those go into effect that by law...

Thanks for the replies everyone... I think I have a good understanding of what the fabric selector does now. I know that SQ has new models coming out but does anyone know about when they will be available to purchase? I currently have a late 90's model Amana that was manufactured by SQ. It has...

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new washer and have narrowed it down to the Speed Queen. But, I'm having a hard time deciding between the AWN432 or AWN542. I know that the AWN542 has a few more cycles and the fabric selector but are those the only differences? And what exactly is the...
