Drain a must They drain quite a bit.Most models have an optional pump so you can connect to a drain higher up,you might want to see how much the kit is.These things are really cool-they make clear "bar ice". Tom

Soon The last message I got from them-last week-said the swap would be done soon.The current machine is usable if watched.We placed a thick rug between the washer and dryer-hanging down between them-so the washer wouldnt beat up the dryer before we could get to it.A funny story-my wife is 110...

Exactly right! Gansky,that was well said.I strive to present my wants with reason and courtesy,and almost always get the same in return.Certainly did this time.People tend to only talk about bad experiences,but I try to say good things when they are due.I of course will keep you all updated on...

Hello friends Those of you who have been following my new Speed Queen purchase know the washer had a bad vibration problem when spinning.I am glad to tell you they have agreed to replace it. One reason I decided to go with the SQ to begin with is because it is a REAL American company that...

Tomturbomatic is right! Appliance friends are way cool-I really hope my schedule allows me to meet some of you in the future.Tom and others,If Speed Queen elects to replace my faulty machine I will be calling on fellow members to help me figure out how to tweak the water level a bit for the...

My new SQ Laundress and Tomturbomatic-good points.The wash fill is not timed,but again never adjusts the water level after initial fill.The machine has a small nozzle at the 12 oclock position that sprays water on the load on all fills.It starts first,then after a few seconds water begins to...

Welcome Glad to have you.A more caring,sharing,giving group you will not find. Tom

frigidaire Peteski,I agree with you,and will say the same to anyone-Frigidaire is the best value for the $$$. Tom

Knocking rp2813,I agree,any FL will knock a little from time to time-this machine knocks bad every time.As I told the SQ rep at their home office,it is a shame a 500$Frigidaire works better than a 1400$SQ!I don't mind paying more for quality,but it hurts to pay more and get less. Tom

Timed fill Hi Brent-the wash fill isnt timed-you hear a loud click when the water level reaches the desired point.My point was that,unlike the Frigidaire,it never stops and adds more.I have timed several rinses,all are 2 min,with the water stopping at 1 min 20 sec-with most loads you never see...

Hello friends I bought new Speed Queen set 3 weeks ago,and was asked by several members to give a report on them after some use.Here is that report.The machines are great in every way but one.They wash well and quickly-no nonsense.No waiting to spin.A few tidbits-no stopping to add more...

water level The water level comes right to the lip of the tub-it is adequate.I'm sure there is a way to raise it,and I feel sure someone will figure it out and post it here.I don't have the technical knowledge to attempt it. Tom

'Bear I agree with Selectomatic-I always enjoy Maytagbear's thoughtful posts.Get well soon! Tom

Thanks Hello Friends As this thread winds down,thanks again for all the nice comments.I am SO satisfied with them and glad I spent a little extra to get them.Quality feels so good! Tom

Thanks guys Thanks for all the interest and feedback-these are truly wonderful machines.No nonsense to 'em-for example,as they start to drain,the speed is ramped up at once-by the time the water is gone the load is distributed and ready to spin.No redistributing.Water heater is fast...

Thanks Pulsator! Thanks for the kind words.The baffles are stainless steel-they are part of the drum-the tub and baffles are one piece!3 baffles each with 18 holes.They are shorter than the baffles in other FLs I have seen. Tom

Refer to post 14040-finally figured out how to post pics of my new Speed Queens.Thanks to all who asked! Tom

SQ update-water level Hello Friends, I expressed concern yesterday about the water level in the new SQ,the first thing I washed was an old comforter-low water level but good results.Today I washed a mixed load,better water level but still relatively low.excellent results though.Very dry after...

SORRY!!!!! Sorry about the last pic,I have never done this before.Forgiveness please. Tom
