With John and Panthera on this....

Keith,

I'm with John and Panthera on this one.

Until such a time that you can show evidence of how good this Speed Queen cleans (in your opinion) such as getting your friends to show us some before and after pics and / or video evidence like Eugene did, you are talking crap!
 
I have used the TR5 for the past few months. At first I thought it was doing ok, but over time and use I can say without doubt IT DOES NOT CLEAN the clothes no matter what we have tried. It is virtually the worst washer we have ever had. Even simple normal everyday dirt does not come out, white socks are black, dish towels stained, jeans and shirts with stains and if anything gets on them like food, it comes out with the food still on, you can see poor results on whites and colors. There is little to no turnover and stuff just sits on top and never gets dragged down no matter how many pieces of clothing are in the wash, and for heavier clothing like jeans and fleece shirts etc. forget it, they just don't wash at all just go back and forth with the tub. We have used the best detergents, tried loading less in a load, everything you can think of, and I am sorry to say it is a tremendous failure and after using this machine for several months no one could ever convince me that this wash system could work. I have never seen this poor cleaning results with any other machine we have had. It is the worst waste of money I ever spent. I am going to replace this machine soon. In this case the REVIEWS are CORRECT..... plain and simple, and I cannot believe a company like SQ could actually put out a machine that is such a total failure in cleaning.
 
Those large capacity TL Maytags are nice looking machines.  The one-piece corkscrew agitator seems silly though.
 
At least 99% of Autowasher.org is informative & fun...

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">One thing's for certain, posts about Speed Queen seem to be the new winners when it comes to the number of replies, followed closely by "who makes the best car" and "let's all stick pins in the Sears voodoo doll".  I'm not a fan of any replies that get nasty. </span>

Jerome are you talking about the maytag or speed queen? I thought you liked the new speed queen. They have tweaked the agitation since it came out.
 
Yes, because real world reviews videos and peoples experiences don't mean jack right? Just figured i'd throw it out there that people are not hating these machines like you think. Let you be the judge. I hated this machine too when i saw your video, i despised it, as more videos came out i saw that it is actually not a bad machine. In comparison to a new cabrio this thing is way better. As good as the maytag commercial cleaning wise? Probably not. But the maytag is very rough on clothes, by the way, i am going to purchase a TR3, and trust me, if it is not up to my standards it is going back, (im asking about a return policy before i buy) i will let the group know how it does, i currently have an LG front load with turbowash, 4.3 capacity, it is 5 years old.
 
They Have Tweaked The agitation since it came out ?

We are aware of no changes to this machine since it came out and if they did it needs to be offered to existing owners.

I think many people may like this washer at first, but like the owner in reply #81 I am afraid that many people will realize over time that things are just not as clean as they were with their old washer.
 
Yes, a fellow aw.org member, analyzed eugenes videos against kirk rivas videos with a device (i forget the name) and he confirmed the wash strokes are in fact faster on kirks machine.
 
They might make the same amout of rotations per stroke but do it with more force. It's very obvious in watching kirks videos his machine is much more vigerous, he even washed 5 pairs of jeans and they moved alot, jeans are even stiffer than dickies AND kirk only used cold water which doesn't help eather. Alot of people comented and noticed a difference too. I'm not the only one.
