    Talk about junk!

    Very sad to hear a new Whirlpool made so poorly. My SQ's are almost 6 years old and looking like the last set I'll own barring an 'unrepairable' failure. My previous 1996 KM '90' series never let us down. I bought the SQ's thinking I better get the last of the decent/non-electronic/reasonably...

    CNET 2018 speed queen review

    Speed Queen shouldn't catch a break by anyone saying it's better than "junk". The new swisher should clean at least as well as the previous generation. But no. It spins better. Considering SQ's history and current pricing,I expect a machine that produces a clean wash. Not one that runs 15+...

    New Maytag commercial top load washer video.

    Does the Maytag have a slower wash speed and/or reduced agitator arc on ''delicate''?

    CNET 2018 speed queen review

    The washer in SQ's lame video SHOULD get those few items clean! Reminds me of 55+ years ago playing with my crank-type or battery-operated toy washers. They had a similar agi-tub system. With a few doll clothes pieces SOME action would occur. How I wished then that someone made a toy washer...

    Speed Queen Dryers

    SQ fine Our SQ electric dryer is almost 6 years old and performs well. It does seem hotter at times than our '96 KM '90',but overall the SQ does a good job. DO watch for build-up on the heat inlet grill. I guess it's burnt liquid softener. Ours gets sharp carbon-like crusts on it that can't be...

    New Video

    A 'good job' of what? Spending your money? I WISH I could believe the '18 SQ does clean clothes. I watch my '12 AWN542 doing its thing and the '18 just doesn't cut it for me. There is NO WAY the slosher is going get what passes for a 'normal' load of anything-especially DIRTY laundry-clean...

    Washers on The Andy Griffith Show

    RCA WP The 1963 movie 'The Thrill of It All' w/Doris Day and James Garner featured '63 push button WP tl's in several scenes as a backdrop for the 'Happy' soap/detergent Doris was selling. I saw this at the drive-in with my parents when I was 8 and liked the washers then as now.

    Speed queen scrubbing their reviews

    more Vega... I'm old so I remember GM's preview ads for the new Vega: "The little car that does everything well". Did very little WELL and then the engine trashed on first several model years. So again,ALLIANCE,do several different loads side by side '17/'18 with same dirt/stains and same...

    Speed Queen Sounds?

    Next time it does this,hold the tub at top plastic band with both hands momentarily. I think your noise will stop when you're 'helping' the tub brake. Our 5.5 yr old 542 just started making this noise along with more brake noise at spin stop. Not concerning yet.

    Managed to get a 2017 Speed Queen

    me too... Our 542 is 5 1/2 years old with no trouble so far. I too was very disappointed with the rough tub lower connect and nasty vertical seam. I noticed more pilling when the machine was new,it seems fine now. I love the washer overall,but think a better made tub with fluted holes...
