New 2018 speed queen pictures

@johnrk: I'm not taking your bait. Asking people if they cried over X machine and to then get over it- then accusing me of psychoanalysis when I called you out on doing just that. I think its clear you're trying to get a rise out of me and other members.

@scrubflex: Weclome Its not fair that forum members have to be shamed over the very thing this forum was built for: the appreciation of old and new appliances alike. But considering that his post received 4 likes as of typing this and people continually trying to make others feel crazy or inferior for liking (or even collecting) certain machines shows everything thats wrong with this forum. Many of us come here to escape the judgment and to find like minds, only to encounter the very thing we are trying to take a break from in the first place.

*dont let it get to you Scrubflex. Others feel the same way including myself

 

[scrubflex]

Oh no, it hasn't got to chetlaham, that's why I didn't respond...and of course I notice the 'likes' as well...I can care less what he think, he does not know me! Now my respond was not meant to be taken so seriously...it's just a washing machine...besides manufactures are going to do what they want...I join this club for one reason, 'for the love of washing machines'...it was exciting to learn that there was actually a community of people that shared the same love...we all have ideas, feel things about, comment on but, personal remarks to be insulting do not require responses...that's all

 

[yogitunes]

well why not....this design worked for the Suzy Homemaker we all had as children...

same rollover?....lol

 

[Chetlaham]

But a fine washing machine Good to hear you are marching on Scrubflex. There are sill plenty who share that same love with you- and no one can rain on that parade!

 

[scrubflex]

Yes...and not at all...my sister had the 'Suzy' yogi

 

[agiflow2]

The easy whirldry was a good one

Here is a 1957 Turner Sapphire Semi Auto

 

[agiflow2]

Now how cool is that !

chetlaham

You took the bait. And of course your being a pompous sort trying to lecture others doesn't appear to be backed by any qualifications other than an propensity to pontificate.

 

[agiflow2]

Guys knock it off already. This has been an enjoyable thread...lets keep it that way please.

 

[johnrk]

agiflow2

I couldn't agree more. I despite hot air, particularly when it's not backed up with capability. I don't come here to listen to that. And fortunately, I haven't found that--with most of the participants.

 

[infusor]

Yes knock it off, it's really annoying and ruining it for the rest of us.

 

[brucelucenta]

It's all in fun!

 

[launderess]

Don't have a dog in this particular hunt

But suppose you have to give SQ credit for keeping something alive that is obviously dying and or becoming more difficult to produce/manage; top loading washing machines with a central beater.

Given the ever increasing puny water/energy usage restrictions on washing machines there are limits to how low things can go and still give a proper wash.

 

[agiflow2]

Well from the videos I have seen on the current speed queen FLers I would be glad to have one. No nonsense workhorses. Doesn't take forever to balance a load and is pretty much straight forward that uses visibly more water. Very good on Speed Queen.

 

[scrubflex]

IT IS ALL IN FUN and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN...well for me that is...I LOVE THIS CLUB...but I must say it was quite disturbing that not enough of the older (TIME) and elder (AGE) members did not demand that the disrespectful insults stop and not be tolerated. There should not be a place for that kind of behavior or mindset for this club...not this club, give me a break...we're LOVERS of washing machines and sort...washing machines I tell you...ALL IN FUN...I still say SQ should have kept the flex-vane...maybe lengthen the 'SLIT' to increase the force of the rolling currents...

 

[norgeway]

I like everyone bUT

I LOATHE anything new and just refuse to use it, this convinces me I need to store up enough real washers to do me the rest of my life, My 80s Hotpoint Rimflow and Hotpoint matching dryer, clean just fine,I WANT a Westinghouse FL set and I intend to find a set,My next purchase is going to be a non frost free real refrigerator!Speed Queen wont put these in laundromats, I think John is right, the front loader they make will eventually take over as I do believe its the best on the market..I don't want one because I don't like the reversing during wash.

 

[norgeway]

And my LEAST favorite vintage machine

Is what most people love a Maytag...You can have all of them, I jinx them just like I jinx a GM car.

 

[agiflow2]

So...how well does the current crop of Speed Queen flers clean laundry ? Are heaters overhyped ? They definitely use more water than WP and Maytag from what I've seen.

Scrubflex, Speed Queen could have also used the laundromat agitator also. The solid vanes would have helped rollover. We have not seen it yet....we will know soon enough I'm sure.

 

[scrubflex]

That's true, better than I thought it would (slope-vanes)...I am looking forward to see it in action as well...Are there anymore pics of the 2018 Speed Queen? There aren't any articles or info about the new SQ's on the internet.

 

[Chetlaham]

@johnrk: Where do you feel I was wrong in this thread about SQ?

 

[johnrk]

chetlaham

This is a dead thread for you, son, let it lie.

 

[Chetlaham]

And its further clear to me you aren't an actual appliance expert or want to have an intellectual discussion about washing machines. How sad...

But anyways, I support SQ and remain behind my remarks. I have no reason to doubt them.

 

[johnrk]

You Just Don't Get It, Do You?

Have you not read the comment string here, boy? No one wants to see this. I've been on here long enough to know who I can learn from--and you're not one of them.

I don't want, or need, to hear from you again.

 

[johnrk]

canned ham

Blocked.

 

[Chetlaham]

Again, you are welcome to prove me wrong through an intellectual discussion with facts (rather than names) about where I was wrong regarding SQ.

 

[foraloysius]

Forget about him, old cranky can't stand backtalking as he probably sees it. Some people need enemies more than friends.

 

[Chetlaham]

That or he serves a particular function, ie trolling. Ignoring is indeed best in that case.

And, with no response given thereafter, always take that as a sign of agreement
