I just watched a you tube of the ge washer in action. The agitation is actually very slow compared to the speed queens regular agitation speed. The ge was going like the speed queens slow agitation. I have 4 kids at home. One little boy who loves to get dirty come spring and summer. I wonder how...

Thanks so much ea56. To tell you the truth, I have never been so busy with washer and dryer trouble since I bought the speed queens. My original new speed queen dryer drum was leaving marks on the clothing like a really old dryer can do. Speed Queen new about the problem and replaced it with a...

I was looking into this washer and the hotpoint as well ,when I originally had issues with my speed queen. I do see a lot of good reviews on it. How do you do a delicate wash since that is not an option on the front panel? Also, did you get the matching dryer? If yes, how is that? Did you ever...

Yogitunes, do you think that the flex vane agitator is capable of tearing holes in clothes? I am not handy with washing machines, nor is my husband. I wouldn't know how to swich the agitator properly.

I would be very interested in finding out about the new whirlpool coming up! In my opinion, speed queen is a good machine, however it has issues. If you find out anything about the new whirlpool please post it. I may be even willing to trade my speed queen in if the whirlpool is made well.

That is also why I kept questioning using vinegar in the washing machine. I keep hearing that it is safe, however I am wondering if vinegar is harsh on the clothing and machine parts.

What I meant by a single vane agitator is that there was no gap on the fins at the bottom of the agitator. Meaning the whole agitator is one piece connected with no room for things to get caught between the fins and the rest of the agitator. I think that is the way speed queen used to make their...

Wrong picture, sorry

Malcolm, thanks for responding. The dryer is level side to side. Front to back, its a little off. Why would that cause holes? The silver plate had a lot of sharp edges sticking out. From what speed queen told me it is a polyester and fabric softener sheet build up. Never had that on my 20 years...

Malcolm, do you think the awn 542 speed queen washer's agitator can have the same problem as you mentioned above? I took a new t shirt out of my speed queen washer and dryer today and noticed a whole.I thought maybe it can also be the silver vent plate in the dryer. It has a build up from...

Has anyone used Persil for sensitive skin? I am looking to find out if it is indeed sensitive skin friendly. I saw it in Wal-Mart but was hesitant to buy it before I found out if people were happy with it. I usually use a scent free detergent for those family members who have sensitive skin...

How does this detergent compare to tide or the new persil at Wal-Mart?

Looking for reviews on the Persil for sensitive skin. I currently use a different scent free detergent on some loads for those family members that have sensitive skin issues. Can anyone out there recommend it for sensitive skin? Anyone use it with good results? How is the cleaning power as well...

Did you buy and use the new Tide turbo HE?

Yogitunes, you can actually find that kind of detergent in some Wal-Marts in nj. It's called Foca. Comes in a bag of powder and gets measured by the cup. As far as I know however, I don't think it's an HE detergent.

What is STTP? I tried persil pearls yesterday and had a lot of suds in my top load speed queen. I did not even use a lot. See my post under the "Persil" thread.

I don't measure out in tablespoons, I use that clear cover. I use less than recommended. I use till line one on a regular full size load all the time. I find that it is enough detergent and everything always comes out clean. I use less for smaller loads.

I never use the caps that come on those kind of bottles to measure detergent. I keep the clear cover that comes with the 96 or 110 load Procter and gamble bottles and use that to measure any detergent I use. The lines and numbers on that clear cover that goes over the spout on the p&g big...

Thank you, spinmon for answering. I really don't understand where you are explaining where you put the q tip. I realized that the rattling in the spin cycle is coming from the plastic white drain hose. When it shakes in the spin if the load gets slightly uneven in the tub (mainly on small...

Bought the Persil pearls for whites yesterday for the first time. Used a little less than line one for a regular size load in my top load speed queen washer. I had a lot of suds. Even the rinse water was sudsy. Did two extra rinses to get the suds out. I was under the assumption that Persil was...
