    New Speed Queens!

    I too like the looks of the 2018 panel. I have my eye on SQ if my 15 year old Maytag ever needs to be replaced. I’m used to short washer cycles so curious how long they are with the SQ?

    The new speed queens: how bad are they?

    I’d probably be interested in the 575 Maytag if it had selectable water levels. Not a fan of having the machine do it which leads to longer cycles.

    The new speed queens: how bad are they?

    If my 15 year old Depndable Maytag breaks down and becomes uneconomical to repair, I would likely go with the 2018 SQ. I like the looks of it, it fits in the space(I have cabinets above that limit the lid height to 54 inches), and I like that you can select the water load as well as the shorter...

    2018 Maytag vs. SQ

    Nice review, the SQ is on my list to replace my 15 year old Maytag. It fits into my required space and I like that you can control the water level. Should wash fine for my needs.

    2018 Maytag vs. SQ

    And load rollover is what happens in a dual agitator washer. Not how most other washers operate. That dual agitator fails miserably in comparison if using the same criteria with a front load machine.

    2018 Maytag vs. SQ

    I’m not sure it makes a lot of sense to wash a lightweight microfiber cloth in a washer full of blue jeans. If I did and used the Speed Queen, I would have put it in first. The manner in which the SQ washes is different than how a dual agitator does as seen in the video. A bogus demo IMO.

    If they would have treated the stain strip like how most normal people wash a stained item, the stain strip would have likely come clean. No fun though, if the goal is to trash the machine doing the washing. Like golf, it’s the golfer and not the club to blame for a bad round.

    Infuser, What a joke that Maytag looks. I’d take a 2018 SQ over that any day.

    The thing the SQ TL still has going for it is the build quality, the short cycle times, the ability to choose the water level, the physical size of the machine and tub. I also like the new aesthetics and the fact that it washes better, according to the company that knows the most about the...

    CNET 2018 speed queen review

    I’m not bothered by these stain tests. It appears none of the machines tested remove all the stains, so if it were clothes none of them would be wearable. The times I have had stains, I pretreated the area and the stain came out in the wash. I question the testers and their knowledge on...

    CNET’S Favorite Top Loader The Bottom Line The Kenmore Elite 31633 is the best top-load washer we've encountered to date and it's on sale at Sears for just $915 -- a steal if you need a large-capacity model. https://www.cnet.com/products/kenmore-elite-31633-washing-machine/review/

    2016 Speed Queen TL Review Found this review of a SQ TL model folks here seem to approve of. It didn’t fare too well either on wash performance while being rougher on clothes. “Besides the Speed Queen being not up to, well, speed, the AWNE92SP also falls behind when it comes to stain...

    CNET 2018 speed queen review

    It’s interesting that many of their negative comments about the machine would have applied to the 2017 model. I wonder if the tester would have gotten much better results had they chosen a more appropriate wash cycle. Perhaps, heavy duty with a prewash cycle that at least matched up with the...

    GE top loaders, why so much hate?

    I like the new GTW460ASJWW. Dual action agitator, allows you to select 4 water levels, extra rinse. I can’t think of any other current TL models with those features.

    New Maytag commercial top load washer video.

    The experience with the Maytag gives you an out, I’d opt for the SQ!

    New Maytag commercial top load washer video.

    I was at Young’s Appliances in Glen Ellyn this week and they still have several 2017 SQ models available. I like being able to select your water level.

    Speed Queen Top Loader, 2018 or 2017

    I far prefer the look of the 2018 SQ and the fact that it is more gentle on clothes. It also has less parts so presumably less to go wrong with it. I will need something to fit into the spot of my 2003 Maytag when it gives up the ghost and the SQ is just about the same size. Who knows, maybe...

    Are these "real" Maytag designed/built machines?

    Thanks for the info. Is there any preventative maintenance that would make sense to extend the life of either the washer or dryer. I recently ran a load of bleach followed up with a load of white vinegar which helped clean up the interior of the washer and eliminate some odors. I replaced the...

    Are these "real" Maytag designed/built machines?

    LAT2300 I’ve been curious about my Maytag combo and this thread has shed some light on the matter. The serial number indicates it was made in February 2002 according to this link: https://www.electrical-forensics.com/MajorAppliances/MaytagDateCodes.html I found a YouTube video showing...
