Can I ask where and what you paid for that machine? I got the TC5 for $1150 16 days ago, free delivery, haul away, and extension drain hose from a local appliance store. They had two of those Maytags left, and were clearancing them for $850 + delivery ($100). Cheaper than Home Depot, where you...

Don't change the subject please! That was my point, nothing to do with Speed Queen. I think you are confused about who changed the subject.

Indie Just questioning describing indie music as "nice and smooth". Zappa and Punk were probably the originals in indie music. Definitely not nice or smooth. Indie just means independent record label.

Indie music? Since when is indie music "nice and smooth"? It can be any style of music. Remember Grunge? I don't worry about the TR series, my wife wanted a top loader, so I chose the TC5. No one will force you to get the TR. I've done about 8 loads so far (three weeks old), and I like it...

You're kidding...right? "The build quality of appliances, cars, and most consumer electronics has never been higher. Things are extremely well assembled. You have almost no chance of problems with them for several years." I hope that's a joke. Electronics and appliances are nowhere near as...

to GE I said I might try the eco cycle (with extra rinse) just to see how it does. When I used it to clean the tub, it took about 25 min, with deep fill, before I did the rinse. I Was very satisfied with the Bulky cycle. Clothes and towels both came out really clean. Took 40 minutes, agitated...

Combo52 I wasn't overthinking the hose length at all, until the salesman said it wouldn't work, Speeed Queen said not to do it as well. And no one here, including you, who has sold/worked on over a thousand of them, could verify they had seen it work. Now I KNOW it works. So will others. I...

overthinking the drain hose I don't think so. Plastic corrugated hoses are cheap, and they are more prone to crack eventually. Seems an odd choice for a $1479 washer that is supposed to last 25 years. It also connects internally and is routed through the machine. If it gets a pinhole leak in...

Good to know, I knew the SQ was 710, had no idea on the Maytag. The Maytag seemed to ramp up as fast, or faster, so I think it was still working fine. Where do you find all this info? I couldn't even find it here. It is kitten approved, she will be 1 year old in a few weeks. She was checking...

I also added a couple pieces of rubber I cut off from the unused extension kit hose, to keep that flimsy corrugated hose from rubbing on the cement wall where it touches. At the end off the spin, it starts to wiggle every few seconds, with a slight wooshing sound. Moves about 1/4" to 1/2" back...

Delivered. Delivered abour 4 hours ago. It works, and drains just fine. The tub was a bit dusty/grey, I assume from polishing the tub. So I wiped it out with a rag, and ran an empty load on Eco w/deep fill (19 gallons). I chose hot, and the water was hot. I thought Eco only did cold? Then ran a...

My Maytag was a real washer. It's pump was driven by a belt. No idea what "having the pump run in reverse during wash pulls settled detergent back into the washtub" means.

Have no plans to change it. The hose goes into the standpipe 6 inches. No way 9" was tall enough. I don't have anything to record a video that long with.

extended It was extended to meet the 18" above trap height required by code. It was only 9" above the trap. There is a post above about my drainfield that goes into the whole story, but when we got a new drainfoeld, everything had to meet code. I think the previous owners cut it down, because...

5 or 6 inches will not make a difference. It's not 5 or 6 inches. 76 inches (6+ feet) is 28 inches above the recommended height.

Original question about drain height. Speed Queen finally called me back, I called a few times this week, and with 1 hour hold times, opted for the call me back option. Today they actually called back! Their support was pretty worthless. She just read the line from the manual about above 48"...

You get it to 130 easily with a water heater. I am in a winter climate, but the well is 90' feet deep. Newer wells are 180' minimum. Water is about 50 degrees year round. Whether it's 95 outside, or 10 degees outside.

I like the idea of a front loader, but my wife's mother, and sister BOTH hate thiers (not Speed Queens). And they take forever, like 90 minutes. So my wants a top loader. And the front load Speed Queens are way too much money.

the SQ's build quality cannot match my Maytag's Don't tell me that! My Maytag lasted 35 years, with no repairs. How can a dealer charge you shipping? Retail is only $1479. Do they charge shipping on Whirlpools? I could see shipping individual units being quite expensive. Our dealer had 18...

I checked out the GE "commercial" washing machine at my local appliance dealer last week. The suspension was a joke, and he rocommended that I NOT buy one. $1000
