Well, isn't it strange that they remodel the frontloaders just to put them only for one month on the market?
No Consumer Speed Queen Front Loaders in 2018??

Speed Queen Front Load Washers
Our distributor said they are going to keep ordering them and stock them for dealers in our area.
I predict that SQ might rethink pushing the FL washers when they see the big sales hit they will see with the new TL line. I have just completed a lot of last minute sales of the current top load washers, after the new ones come out we will be selling a lot of the 5 year warranted MT TL washers in 2018.

This from my distributor:
“Attached to this email is the 2018 pricing and updated SPIFF program for Speed Queen laundry. As you will notice from the price sheet, front load laundry is not being offered by Speed Queen for the 2018 calendar year, and you must floor all three top load pairs and one stack unit to be eligible for SPIFFs.”
Maybe they are retooling their line?

Spiffs
Does that mean the fl machines are not part of the spiff program? That's how I read it.

I'm still resentful about losing the hot, or even warm rinse option! I guess that modern detergents will rinse away in cold water though, but sometimes I still feel something needs a warm rinse...
Warm Rinse
I miss the warm rinse because in the winter up here in the northeast the water is toooo cooooooold.

Internal heater
or lack thereof is the reason I didn't buy a SQ FL in 2009.
I looked at them and they had one model, a rear control machine, that had an internal heater. When I went back to order, it was No Longer Available.
This is the reason I chose a Maytag/Whirlpool machine. I know I won't get 50 years of usage out of it, but I have a Sanitize cycle and Steam options.

Harley, you've repeated essentially what I've said about why I wouldn't have a SQ front loader. The past week with family and pets brought home again exactly why I have the heater, steam , Sanitize, and Allergen capabilities my wonderful washer provides.
European regs vs Us regs
Most European machines I have used seem to have a tested cottons cycle they use to meet the water consumption requirements and then, if you want, you can just pick a different cycle or select options like Water Plus on Miele.
They inform you of your options but you’re not usually stuck with water miser cycles if you don’t want them.
Usually selecting a higher speed cycle / time saver option will decrease the efficiency by increasing water levels and reducing cycle time. The same applies on a lot of dishwashers.

Definite improvement over our SQ FL machine whose control panel is of the earlier knobs version.
Nevertheless I see the extra rinse switch and start button remain, ugh!
On a machine like this give me something metal with a satisfying "click" or substantive feel.
Those above on the new style black panel machine, like mine, are chinsy plastic that seems ready to fail at any moment. Not saying they will, it's that they feel that way. All to save a matter of pennies...I shack my head at such false economy cost cutting.

Mechanical Extra Rinse & Start Switch
What a terrible idea to use a real switch instead of a flashy membrane touch pad that will crack, stick, short or otherwise fail is less than ten years and you will have to replace the entire panel at a cost of over $150 [ which will be NLA in less than 15 years ] instead of snapping in a new $11 switch.
Most everyone here keeps saying bring back a well built repairable machine and when they do people still complain, LOL

As far as I know, I have not seen any changes on the 2018 models other than the updated styling.

"Give me something metal" I wrote, so, wrong again John. Your on quite a roll with being wrong about what I write.
Stick with repair advice on old machines, you're good with that. With me you're just embarrassing yourself.[this post was last edited: 1/3/2018-11:05]

Hi Robert, The panels on both the current and new style machines are metal, Switches are never made out of metal entirely as they would ground out and not be functional, you should stick to something you understand instead of silly emotional criticisms.

Again, despite being an adult, you willfully choose to misrepresent my fairly innocuous statement regarding my personal preference for metal switches rather than the plastic, like a child might.
It's a common internet phenomena, so much so it has long been recognized and categorized:
The persistent debate troll-
This type of troll loves a good argument...
They believe they're right, and everyone else is wrong. You'll often also find them leaving long threads or arguments with other commenters in community comment sections, and they're always determined to have the last word – continuing to comment until that other user gives up.
Extrapolating my statement to "entirely metal" is a silly and obvious tactic so you can then "prove you are right".
I have watched and let you carry on because you are liked here for your historic knowledge of appliances and often helpful advice on repairs. And who knows, perhaps an all around good fellow when encountered in person. Be that as it may, whether someone prefers cooking with gas or the satisfying snap of a metal toggle switch, it is just that, a preference.
