Kind of frustrating. I watched, watched it again, posted it, wanted to watch it again and it went private.
But all you see is basicly a women who had been given a SQ set for free 27 years ago, used it as field tester 'till today and they gave her a set of the new 2015 machines for free again.

When was the last CR report on SQs? How did they score?

There were a couple discussions here recently about that.
I personally don't trust, so follow and waste my time in reading anything about CR or stuff like.....

Speed Queen Rated Most Reliable Top-Loader by Consumer Reports
Just received the new issue of CR and they have enough data on Speed Queen top-loaders to add the brand to their list. SQ takes the checkered flag! TOP-LOADERS Speed Queen: 6% needed repair Maytag/Whirlpool: 9% Kenmore: 10% GE: 12% FRONT-LOADERS LG: 6% needed repair Samsung: 8% Kenmore: 10%...

That was the wrong agitator for a SQ of that age... Should have had the straight vane agitator with the needle nose cap... Maybe her husband replacing the agitator qualifies still for "no service call"...

I thought the same thing though I was not totally sure.
My Speed Queen also does have that kind of agitator, like the SQ-made amana had after all ... but my Speed Queen is very special and different than all of her "sisters", it's amanaish as it is a newer model speed queen but with a dark heavy porcelain tub like the amana did, not stainless, so it was for that reason it also had the old style agitator like amana, even though being a speed queen machine... and while all of her twin sisters had stainless tubs and the new kind of agi.
They probably used/recycled what they had left from Amana parts to make these Speed Queen for export, once amana became being made by others, and I don't exclude they were specially made so given the "special" circumstance, nobody would have cared of the typical SQ stainless basket as long as they were "for free" .... I explain better: mine comes from a US military base, machines are raytheon badged internal sticker, they were bought and imported in lots by US Gov, to give them to military families stationed around the base, as well as for the whole base needs.... as I heard it's typical from gov to furnish and provide stationed militaries with appliances and everything they needs, as it's right to be...
For awhile there were lots of ads for cheap (according to what they costs here) used Speed Queen washer and dryers like mine down there in sicily, sold from militaries coming home back in USA , they all gone in an heartbeat given the super price, you can find nowhere an used one going lower than 500-600 euros... new they cost the double.
I was one of the lucky ones....
Anyway I also initially thought a Speed Queen this old should have had that kind of agitator as well....as I have seen them having it, but also thought that maybe it was in the years of the switch to the new kind, so certain models did have the old style and others the newers?
Now that I have this confimation from another though, it also confirm my other guess, that the agitator looks too " new" and shiny to be ever been used, that is not impossible but it looks so shiney, and not even a drop mark or softener signs in the cap, kinda polished, which I doubt they did, so you know what I think? More likely there was no husband replacing it but it simply was replaced before shooting because the original was yellowed or something....or simply because a new one made a better look.
I have also seen how Speed Queen is rather reluctant when on Facebook I make referements to the old and different agitators they use...especially when they make the comparisons Commercial=Home use....the commercial ones are not completely identical, they have another kind of agi than domestic use ones...
Anyway....
I am glad mine does have this kind of older agi, as I think it being the best one....

Wow!
Well Malcolm, all I can say is WOW! Love the look of both the top and front load models.
Interesting how he talks about the electronic control manufacturer and that mechanical controls will still be available. I hope that allies the fears that some people on this site have about electronic controls.
Didn't hear him say anything about the F/L model having a heater...that would be interesting to know.
I am already in talks with a member from this site about getting the TL set out here to Oz.
Cheers,
Leon.

Funny!
The talk about the controls and warranty sound like they are directed to us on this site!

2015 Speed Queen Front Load Washer and Dryer
[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Malcolm,[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333399; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt]Thank you for posting the videos. The new Speed Queen front load looks incredible. It is about time Speed Queen permitted the end user cycle flexibility. When it comes time to replace my machines, this is definitely the direction I will go.[/COLOR]

Observations...
1) No heater in the washer. (at least not this model)
2) Looks like ATC control in the washer(s)
3) Wonder what the third rinse does on the TL machine.
4) Pre-Wash option on FL is a welcome option!
5) Electronic dryness sensor in the dryer.
I like the "Miele-like" bevel on the FL controls.
