Finally the full wash video of the new 2018 Speed Queen washer

European front loads

Are simply the best front load washer in terms of clean-ability and versatility.

I said it before and I will say it again, if SQ had a FL washers with a heater in 2013 I would have probably gotten that over the SQ TL. A FL without a heater is useless IMO.

Malcolm-- Thanks for the chart explaining the special cycles on the new SQ top-loader. It would probably be to the company's benefit to give cycles like 'Super Soiled' a higher profile.

Wish my SQ had the Heavy Duty Eco and Delicate Eco cycles. I fill the washer with true warm or hot water, then switch to the Normal Eco cycle for nearly every load that doesn't contain liquid chlorine bleach. Saved a few hundred gallons of soft water last month. Frankly, I find the spray rinse does an adequate job. Have had no problems with detergent sensitivity or irritation even in our super-dry winter air.

I use the trick you mentioned in another thread about skipping ahead to the next portion of a cycle by pressing the Whites and Perm Press buttons simultaneously regularly, as well. It comes in handy when I want slow agitation for partial loads of things like dress shirts. I start the Bulky cycle, set a kitchen timer for the amount of wash time needed, then return to the washer, select Normal Eco, then jump it ahead to the spin/rinse sequence.

Eugene, you give new meaning to the term push button washing.

Easter Egg

I like how the machine will pause after the presoak/prewash and sound a tone for the user to add detergent for the main wash bath. Proceeding automatically after two minutes. Cool feature!

Bob-- I'm definitely giving the SQ's electronic controls a workout, but it's kind of fun to play with, LOL. Have to admit I miss the 2015 Maytag front-loading set, which had everything a person could ask for in a laundry pair, but am having more fun with the SQ than I'd expected.

Malcolm-- The "add detergent" alert after the prewash or soak reminds me of my mid-'90s stacked Gibson-branded front-loader. It did that immediately after the fill for the final rinse so you could add fabric softener. An actual detergent dispenser would be ideal, but this is Speed Queen, so that would be looked upon as a frill. I have yet to use the soak or prewash options. Loads of heavily stained kitchen whites (plus personal whites) get a hot fill and a few minutes of agitation. Then I shut the machine down for about 45 minutes for a soak. After that, I add Clorox, fire up the Whites cycle plus a 2nd rinse and away we go. I've found this process to be the most effective for removing stains.

Eugene,
It seems you have figured out how to succeed with your top load washer. You are the master chef of top-load laundry.

Amana

This is very discouraging. I'm not sure how much this machine was, but it seems to operate very much like my $269 sale Amana top load which I bought for a weekend home. I finally figured out on the Amana that I can select "bulky sheets and blankets" and deep wash+extra rinse and it will actually fill completely for the wash, with NO autosensing does intermittent full 360 turns of the agitator as it feels, even before any base level of water has been injected! Anyway, on these setting I can get a full-fill wash, and actually two deep rinses, but unfortunately a slower spin and slightly less vigorous agitation.

A Better washing AdjTub!

From looking at more vintage videos on youtube I encountered this European model and at least it has better washing action for a AdjTub!
Hey speed queen why didn't you do some research?

Best agi tub

Well, maybe not exactly an agi tub...

That's not a European model, but I think that is most likely a South American machine.
