Buttons!
Sure does have a lot of buttons! Wonder if the Imperial set will get updated?

I think they're trying to appeal to/capture a market segment that views analog controls as clunky and out of style, that doesn't know analog controls are far more reliable, and furthermore doesn't have the slightest idea how to operate anything with knobs, switches and dials.
At least with those options it'll be better than the dial based electronic controls that give you no flexibility over the cycle.
If you can pick a soil level and add other options it should be nice and flexible.
I think the controls look awesome, I assume its the same control computer as the commercial machines, they've just added a home based touchpad.

Their high-end commercial/vended top-loader has touchpad electronic controls. I'm assuming if they can stand up to commercial use they should be very reliable in a home setting. Wonder if you'll still be able to open the console to adjust the water level so it fills to the top of the tub?
I'd like to see the panel up close to find out what cycles and options are available.

Heresy!
Just plain heresy!
No more click clack of the knob. No more slight buzzing at it motorvates through the cycle.
I can only HOPE that they use better quality boards than what everybody else uses.
Glad I got my old school machine when I did!

Ben--You should hop on their Facebook page and ask if the maximum water level will still be adjustable with the electronic controls.
We seem to have two similar threads going at the same time. Sorry about posting the suggestion above in both.

Thank Heavens
Looks like SQ have put their thinking caps on and made sure people have customisation options so you don't waste time washing clothes that aren't dirty, or can add on more washing time if needed.
These machines certainly are worth buying, if they are deployed across all their relevant home/domestic markets. I know I'd buy one of these - they offer the same, if not more functionality than the traditional models we all know and love.
Again, just so relieved they have made a really competitive offering for their new machines, instead of "handicapping" themselves with a "one-cycle-fit-all" style of mentality they've taken with the FL's and some TL's in Australia.
*Round of Applause for SQ, Please!*

Very nice indeed!
These look great! I like them a lot.
It would be great to see a close up of the control panel to see the cycles and options provided. As Nathan said, certainly a step up from what we in Australia currently have where you have no control over the cycles with the electro-mechanical timer.
I would love to see these on sale in Australia, but I suspect the price might be too high for the Oz market, but we'll see.
If not, I'd certainly consider getting a set out from the US!

They may have been inspired by the Amana electronic set. All they need to add now is a light!

I notice the washer looks narrower than the dryer and the current SQ washers, think it holds less?

Tour Date
I noticed that the tour date says October 2013. How did they ever manage to keep this under wraps so long? Seems like they listened to the market and modified accordingly. Even down to a Q on the console. Wonder if there is a possible heater option in the FL offering...

It won't be the end of the world if the maximum water level isn't adjustable on the 2015 machines. The maximum capacity load would be a little smaller, but it wouldn't be a deal-breaker.
Malcolm, I'm with you: Put an internal water heater back in the front-loaders, Speed Queen! And while you're at it, give them the same cycle flexibility the forthcoming electronic top-loaders appear to have.
Let us know what you hear back from SQ, Ben.

They lost me as a possible customer when they did away with that feature to meet more stringent EPA standards. I wasn't going to have another FLer without a heater. I can't understand why they had to ditch this feature given most every other brand offers some models with heaters. No dumbed down temperatures because of heaters in front loaders. And true hot and true warm water temperatures are some of the main reasons why front loaders yield major stain removal results without having to inspect and treat every garment going into a load. Which I always had to do with top loaders. Saves me a bunch of time tending to BobLoads of laundry.

You are so right, Bob!
I like the way they're confident enough to put SPEED QUEEN in big bold letters. Seems most washer makers are ashamed to have their name visible on their machines.
