There, rollover on a current machine.
And yes, toploaders are bad with comforters.
Any toploader is.
Yours specifically.
A Cabrio failing dosen't mean your's not failing either.
Which means my point is still 100% valid:
Both machines fail with comforters.
But the current SQs fail with normal loads as well. While using more water, and spinning worse, and costing more.
Oh, and btw, before you will bring up VMWs:
In reply to RP2813:
He likes it and hat's fine.
However I do not respect makeing unproofen, wrong claims. Spreading misinformation is not what this forum is for.
Saying he likes it is fine, that's his opinion, can't disproof that. Never tried to.
Saying it turns over a comforter when it is easy to disproof that without him proofing what he claims is something entirely different.
Pissing match is completly unjust in this context.[this post was last edited: 10/18/2018-19:10]
Look a little closer
I didn't call it a pissing match.

Sorry, mental typo.
We have several sources showing questionable cleaning results.
Your videos are fine, keep doing them, no fault there.
It's just that your 4:30 video shows about half an inch of turnover...

People here are VERY passionate about there washers,Etc. That goes double for Speed Queens. They have been a favorite of many here for years and they were the last hold out for a tried and true American Top loader. People are still very soar about them losing the transmission and wash system they have had longer than I have been alive.
People here are very blunt take it with a grain of salt.

Guys, you're almost starting a fist fight because of a washing machine. Really?
Why don't you just grab a 5 inch ruler and start an argument regarding your private parts sizes?
I'm waiting to see who is going to pull the hair first or stick a bubble gum on each others hair.
Should I tell everything to your moms?
Grow up, guys!

Seriously...
What? Are you guys serious? We can agree to disagree. It's our opinion. Why can't we agree?

Celebrate your washer. Embrace the energy and essence that makes the metal and plastic come together and provide cleanliness. All washers are good.

My TR5 does not get my clothes clean
Look I appreciate you guys having some passion for washers. I do not. I simply want clean clothes.
I made the mistake of buying a TR5 a little over a month ago (2018 model) because so many people recommend SQ. It will not even get coffee stains out of my white t shirts.
I will sell it for $400 FOB my porch in Louisiana if someone wants it. If you love TR5s that should be a great price.
What I would appreciate is a recommendation for new machine OR a recommendation for a good source of rebuilt old machines that will clean clothes.

Check with local resale shops or independent servicers for rebuilt or good-condition Whirlpool (Kenmore, Roper, KitchenAid) direct-drive machines from ~2006 and prior.
Or find something less-than pristine at a resale shop, CraigsList or Facebook Marketplace and refurb it yourself.
ttw, you should launch a new thread requesting advice.
Maytag's commercial top loader seems to be the closest you can get to the 2017 and earlier Speed Queens for old school wash action, and that is likely what most here would recommend.
You should also contact the dealer who sold you the SQ and advise that you want to return it and get something else, such as the Maytag, if that dealer sells them. The makers of SQ need to understand that most people are not happy with the 2018 wash system, and dealers will certainly let them know if people are returning these machines in droves. You have a valid case, and you are certainly not the first person who would like to return their 2018 SQ.

I'm really a sad case...
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">When my Atlantis started acting up (needs a no-longer-made timer/control module) I was motivated by all the chat on here about the 2017 Speed Queens being the last of their kind and by members saying "your Maytags aren't Maytags at all you ninny, they're Norge" so I bought a TOL SQ pair...one from a town 40 miles away, one from the other side of the Country. This was several months ago. Where are they today? Covered up in the garage about 15 feet from the laundry room. My back is currently shot, handyman is busy and friends are all prima-donnas and can't lift anything heavier than a toaster. The pool guy saw them and said "yikes, that's a lotta buttons!" Fortunately they have a very long warranty provided they ever see gas, electricity or water.</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">As stupid as this seems, the new Internet TV still sits on the floor turned to the wall so the cleaning ladies won't hit it with the power-drive Hoover and the new pricey Dell computer is in an unopened box next to the front door. Both of these items have a 2-year warranty which is almost half over. Dumb Dumb Dumb! Last month I had what the ICU doctors called a near-death experience. My hemoglobin level dropped below 4, normal is about 7, a result of taking handfuls of nsaids...aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxin daily to combat back pain. They said if I had waited one more hour to call the paramedics my heart would have stopped. I sort of dismissed all of this as just talk because Eisenhower Medical Center wants repeat business from heavily insured people. I guess it was not. I would like to do a load or two in the new Speed Queens before I'm history.</span>

correction...
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Normal hemoglobin levels for my age is 12 to 15...not 7. It's serious stuff. (Sorry, I'm way off track considering this is a thread about Speed Queen)</span>

@twintubdexter
I can see the relevance for you telling us how you are unable to test out a brand new washer due to back issues having suffered a back problem since high school and even now having days when unable to move let alone lift a washer and dryer.
I wish you a speedy recovery and the ability to find some less flakey friends who would be willing to move the machines for you
Take care and stay safe xx
