Frankly...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">...I think you could get that same washing action and level of effectiveness with a half-dozen goldfish in a bowl. Like the old guy in the appliance store told me, time will tell how satisfied people are with these machines.</span>

How many gallons of water did this cycle use? I went to the TR7 page at the Speed Queen website and clicked on "specs", but there are no specs there.

No one knows.  SQ apparently doesn't know, they'll say only that "it varies" in answer to people who have asked.

For you folks on here saying this speed queen does nothing, watch this video and come back and tell me speed queens are bad.

Water usage is easy-enough to check.  I think anyone asking the question understands that the precise usage will vary per the load size (absorption and all that).  Determining what is the per-gallon fill at each of the three levels is sufficient info.  Set it to run with the water supply turned off and fill it manually with a gallon jug until agitation starts.  Have a helper or two and two or three jugs to keep it going consistently.

Or put gallon or 5 gallon markings in a trash barrel and measure what comes out as it drains after filling without any fabrics in it at various water level settings, if it has any.

Warm Warm

It looks like you can select Warm Wash Warm Rinse. That is very nice and something I cannot do with my AWN 432, all rinses are cold.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Remember Betty Furness and her famous "sand test" for Westinghouse? I'd like to see a "Kleenix Test" with one of these new Speed Queens. Toss in half a box (family-size is OK) and stand back. I'll bet every tissue would remain in one piece...maybe the used ones wouldn't be completely clean...but they wouldn't be torn. Now there's a real accomplishment. </span>

Try a whirlpool cabrio, i bet half the tissues won't even get wet, the other half will be torn to shreds, but nobody wants to talk about those pieces of junk.

Turn your washer into a pulper to make paper again!!
