So i've had my TR5 for a couple of months now, and i must say, i am liking it alot, i even washed a thick queen sized comforter (used for my dog) and id did a great job, turned it over a couple of times, i honestly was surprised. It does a pretty good job on whites, here is a link to a video i took of a load of towels using auto fill, the load was even up to the plastic balance ring, and it still moved heavy beach towels around pretty well, uses plenty of water, as you can see in the video. After seeing eugenes video of the new maytag i think the speed queen is much better.

 
I have a 2015 model, 432, your washer looks a lot more gentle on clothing, mine can be rough on the clothes if I'm not careful, esp a large load. What detergent are you using? Do you use the presoak a lot? I've been soaking my clothes then run a short wash with pretty good results. I'm using different detergents, trying to get away from using chlorine bleach due to septic system and my Dad having a chemical reaction to it.
I'm still kind of on the fence about my washer, due to clothing damage.

It's pretty gentle on clothes, i used one tide pod for that load of towels, tide pod with "oxi" power, i tried powder oxi clean "white revive" and it works pretty good, alot better than bleach.
 
Eugene, the front loaders come back in january i believe, what my dealer told me when i bought the TR5, he said the government bought all of the quoda for the year for navy etc, so speed queen squit selling residential since they met their sales numbers. But he said it is NOT discontinued but just taking a short break.
 
The SQ appears BUILT better than the Maytag. But for quick and thorough washing,you cannot deny the Maytag. The 'Tag is the only machine I'd consider today.

Currently our '12 AWN542 is a champ in fast,thorough washing. I'm glad it also does a good impression of woo-woo sounds on normal wash. Both characteristics noticeably absent on the new SQ.

I am happy that your SQ pleases you and that it continues to do same.

Wash in peace,Bill
 
Washing queen size comforter

Here is a video of washing a queen size thick comforter using auto fill, it did turn over a couple times, did pretty good.

 
Queen Size Comforter In A New SQ TL Washer

Thats just pathetic, although most TL washers would have a hard time turning it over.

 

Try a light colored QSC and make it evenly dirty on one or better yet both sides and then wash it and show us the results, we have done this test with soiled white towels and work jeans and the results are treble, it only cleans a few areas leaving 60-80% advisably dirty.

Considering a whirlpool cabrio won't even turn a comforter over ONCE, let alone several times like my TR5 did this machine is still better than most he TL machines.
 


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]
 
If anybody can comment on the machines performance its me, i own one, did you read the part where i said my comforter turned over several time...... so you are calling me a liar???
 
It's okay, i just won't take time out of my day to make videos anymore. Since you don't like them. I thought this was a site for people who are into washing machines..... vintage and modern.....
 
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!
