    SQ FL Revision?

    The Speed Queen model I have is the AFNE9BSP113TW01 and I think its sound level is reasonable. You can hold a normal conversation with someone standing next the washer during the spin cycle. The next time I do a batch of laundry I'll measure the noise level with a sound level meter held 6 feet...

    SQ FL Revision?

    The dryer beep sounds identical to the washer beep which you can hear at the very end of the washer video. Not very sexy (it isn't no LG beep/tone) and not very loud. If you are not in the same room as the washer/dryer you will not hear it.

    SQ FL Revision?

    To me it appears the reason for slowly ramping up the spin speed allows much of the water to be removed, lightening the clothes weight, before the dynamic load balancing is applied. No sense un-necessarily spinning all that water weight at high speed if you don't need to, which probably makes it...

    A normal cycle has two spin/rinse cycles and you can add up to three more spin/rinse cycles.

    SQ FL Revision?

    I cut the extra spin/rinse cycle out of the video to save time and file size. The video file was over 2 GB and took 2-1/2 hours to upload.

    Best washer for large family?

    The new Speed Queen front load washers are a quantum leap over their predecessors. They are larger and offer more options and wash cycles including a pre-wash and soak cycles in addition to having a 5 year warranty on parts and labor. Most other companies including LG only offer a 1 year...

    which new fl?

    Second Floor? If your laundry room is on the second floor and you intend on getting a Speed Queen FL, I suggest you contact Speed Queen technical support directly and get their advice on doing so. This may be true for most front load washers as well.

    which new fl?

    Most front load washing machines seem to do a great job. Speed Queen Front Load washers seem to last longer and give a 5 year warranty, where all others such as LG, Samsung, GE, Electrolux, Maytag, and Sears, etc. only give 1 year warranties. I also think Miele gives a 5 year warranty and there...

    Cycle times in literature hard to find

    Speed Queen Publishes Cycle Times.. The manual for my Speed Queen front loader publishes the cycle times in great detail. This includes the times for rinse, spin, agitate and fill based on cycle, soil level, and other wash options selected.

    What's Considered Full Load For Your Machine?

    For a Front Load Washer..... In the laundry business it is widely accepted that 1 cubic foot of cylinder volume equals approximately 6.5 pounds of soiled laundry. If all of the clothes items had the same volume to weighed ratio, you could just weigh every load with a scale and fill the washer...

    Need to decide today on LG 3370 versus 3570 Front Load Washer

    Get the 3570! Get the LG WM3570. Consumer reports rated the LG WM3370 at the very bottom of their ratings. It came with a score of 13 out of 100 vs. 78 out of 100 for the WM3570.

    Is there any kind of consensus on what the most reliable FL washer is today?

    We Americans... We Americans are not fascinated with washing this stuff often. We Americans wash this stuff often for the same reason we went to the Moon. Because we can! LOL.

    Caruso - I think you summed it up perfectly. I think you should go for the LG.

    Is there any kind of consensus on what the most reliable FL washer is today?

    It's not Just a Balancing Ring! Dynamic balancing consists of movable weights that are automatically repositioned during the spin to balance the load. Some loads can be so out of balance that even dynamic balancing cannot overcome the offset. I have experienced this on rare occasions when...

    New owner of a 2015 Speed Queen TL washer!

    Go to a Landromat and See bobcurley = As a suggestion, find a Laundromat that has your style TL Speed Queen and listen to it. This may answer you question about what constitutes normal. If you live in the San Diego area there is an excellent fairly new all Speed Queen Laundromat is Serra Mesa.
