YAY Maytag!!!
Bitch slap
They started that. They deserve that.

I glean no pleasure from Speed Queen's misstep with their new line...but seeing is believing, kids. It's pretty obvious that Maytag takes the checkered flag on this one.
Have said it before: Am so glad to have purchased the SQ 9 Series when I did.

What the hell is that SQ supposed to be doing? Can’t be washing. I love my Maytag Centennial. It is dependable, fairly quick, and does a great job both washing and rinsing. And that new Maytag Commercial machine looks like it means business. I would buy one if I neede to ever replace the current Maytag.

I'll keep my 35 year old Maytag LA511. Fills to the top with whatever temp I select and does a decent roll over, even with an extra, extra large load. I'll keep this baby going as long as I can.
I saw the vid
And I like the fact that they're both commercial grade. I give the SQ points for gentleness while maintaining powerful clean through forceful currents of water, not to mention the construction. At least SQ has Maytag to compete with.

Aw shucks. Poor Speed Queen.
If I have to buy a new washer-It would be the Maytag.
The video doesn't lie
The Maytag is far superior for rollover and i'll bet for cleaning results too!
I'd like to see certain members defend their precious 2018 SQ now.

It's like riding a Merry-go-round and expecting to get exercise.
The most fascinating part of Speed Queen’s logic behind this machine is that whenever they show their own demonstrations of wash action, the tub is filled with what can’t be more than a half tub of dry clothes, yet a full tub of water. I’m sorry, but where is the improvement from the past design if in order to get good results, you have to load with less than half of what you could with the 2017- models? In theory that means this new 2018 design is MORE of a water and resource guzzler than its predecessors. And who are they kidding, I know of no typical American laundry user that is willing to wash less than a full, and frequently overloaded, tub of clothes, which this SQ design clearly can’t handle.
Where is LorainFurniture been? He's very quiet. Did SQ bump him off?

I have had the Maytag washer for a couple of months now and my clothes are cleaner and smell fresher than with my previous front load washer.. gasp. Reliability is an unknown at this point. Maybe Maytag will continue to add some of the features talked about above such as choosing the water level etc. If they could increase the spin speed as well that would be a huge thing. At this time I would not consider a front load washer again, but there will be plenty of advances that could sway me in the future. If this machine becomes repair prone I will let everyone know. I will say the matching dryer is extremely quiet and very accurate in its drying. Its probably one of the quietest dryers I have owned. Its definitely head and shoulders above the speed queen dryer I had.
I’m still alive
Effective video. They don't say much because not much needs to be said.
For now, this Maytag is the "old school" choice.
If Maytag can sell this water hog without temp controls, I just don't buy that SQ had to ruin their design completely.

Interesting, the MT Commercial doesn't have a "clean cycle".
Pretty much any dryer out there, new or vintage, is better than Speed Queens that dry everything until it's extra crispy.
I hate direct drive machines, even though they may deliver adequate results. But if Alliance hasn't fired their entire design team along with the execs that approved this epic fail, I don't know what they're waiting for. It would have been no contest between SQ's previous models with long stroke agitation. The DD Maytag would have been the loser in that one.

I often wonder if anyone from Alliance headquarters checks this site out and hears the negative reports on the new models that people on this site know about and saw for themselves.
