My speed queen TR5 washing.

[yogitunes]

well it is only a 2018 model, basically a proto-type, which we all know, will have a few bugs to iron out, without a doubt, some changes will be made, most likely to the wash action....

a few pros this machine has over the transmission versions.....

a. a separate water pump

b. a direct non-slip belt

c. a higher speed spin

a note on B and C.....a higher spin speed will extract more wash water, for better rinsing, a higher speed final spin means less time in the dryer....definitely something these machines needed!

another definite pro for any of the ECO machines, the spin spray is directed onto the load, not half behind the wash basket...

give it time, improvements will be made....

I would like to see a ribbed basket of some sort, the tub is turning, might as well make use of the momentum...

I’m sorry, but...

This thread is 100% hilarious. I will wash my towels soaked with my tears of laughter in one of my filter-flos.

@jons1077

hahahahha

I'm laughing too...

At least we all can be sure the tears will be washed away from the towels...

Now if you washed the towels in a 2018 Slow Drama Queen, I doubt!

I posted and I'm running out of here. ROFL

A user posts a thread about a machine they bought and are having a positive experience with and they get jumped on and told they aren't experiencing the results they have shown...

This is ridiculous.

I didn't realize I was reading on vacuumland again...

I gave up on Vacuumland long ago, too contentious.

Not defending behaviors

But, opinions are like rectums, everybody has one.

Advice, take it or leave it: You can Scroll on past, or develop thicker skin.

People say bad things about Whirlpool Duet machines. I have always contended if they are the worst they must be the best of the worst, because in the last nine years, I have been very happy with mine.

So if you are happy with your Speed Queen, it is ok to be proud of it, and just shrug off the Negative Nellies.

OK, I have to step back in again as you are doing wrong to me and the original poster.

Yes, he likes his machine, yes, he says he gets good results, and as much as that surprises me, I NEVER said ANYTHING against those points.

What I spoke up against was his obvious false claims.

Take a look at his comforter video titled "turned over a couple of times".
No it did not. That video is 4:34, and if you skip through it, you clearly see it moves an inch, maybe two inches at most.
At that pase, the main wash would have to be hours long for it to turn over several times.

Then he throws other machines under the bus reffering to his videos.

So I clearly showed via other video evidence that his claims of roll over are just plain made up and his degredation of other machines is just as made up as his first claims of roll over.

It's 2 entirely different things you have to evaluate entirely differently:

He likes his machine, fine. Surprises me, but ok. Maybe even his results on that comforter were great. Can't argue against that.

Him saying that certain other machines perform worse is just a plain lie.

Him saying that comforter turned over several times is a plain lie.

You all calling me horrible things for just stating the plain obvious is just insulting.

If you can't differentiate between me fighting an opinion and fighting false claims and statements, just don't bother even reading my stuff.

Honestly, just watch his comforter video.
Saying it turned over several times dosen't mean it did.

My god am I pissed off right now...

I said nothing negative about you. Everyone has an opinion.

I am not saying this is the case, but some have to justify their purchase. If they are happy with the results, so be it.

As for vacuumland. There are /were some poo-heads over there, but the Miss Manners site was shut down because of poo-heads too. They are everywhere.

I also said nothing negative about the purchasers choice, I am glad he is happy with it, I have sold just two of the 2018 SQ TL washers, we still have three in inventory to sell.

 

We took a big hit in sales, last year we had sold more than 50 SQ TLWs by this time. SQ will change this machine, the regional distributor admitted that sales are less than 1/2 of last years sales.

 

Needless to say dryer sales also took a big hit as well this year because many people buy pairs and with the FL washer shortage they lost even more business.

New 2018 SQTL Washer

Funny you posted this today, I was just dealing with a customer in our area today that got a new TR5 series in July and is completely disgusted with its terrible cleaning and inability to handle even thin blankets, boy did she ever lay out lots of evidence about the poor performance.

 

She is going after the dealer that sold it for an exchange to the Maytag TL Commercial style washer.

My opinion is

I have not seen ANY new appliance on the market that even comes close to ANYTHING washer, stove, DW fridge etc, that was on the market 35 to 70 years ago, my 80s Hotpoint rim flo will wash rings around any new washer made today, my 80s Custom 21 Kitchenaid DW is so far superior to aNY new dishwasher, and my 59 Westinghouse range is 10,000 times better than anything new,just buy vintage, they are out there.
