Poor Speed Queen "HomeStyle" Line

2007 SQ - Back to 2003 SQ?

As I did mention, SQ FL prior 2003 uses electro-mechanical timer that has a LIGHT (7 min) to HEAVY (15 min) for the wash phase in REGULAR cycle. This old version also do have a "Rinse and Spin" cycle.

Hope that SQ would incorporate these good features (of prior 2003) back in their 2007 model. Also add heater in both front control as well as the rear control models.

SQ ATS90's control knobs

Just an added note on the CR ratings. They say that the control knobs go only in one direction. As for the cycle selector it will rotate a full 360 degrees in either direction. As explained by The7 above it does not move but is just a cycle selector knob.

I will agree a longer wash time would be a nice addition but again am overall very satisfied with my choice just under one year ago!

OK, OK. Here's my last comment/question about the current SQ FL'er.

Do you think CR somehow rigged the washing rating of the SQ so that it would come out much worse than the other FL'ers? What other explanation is there?

do their tests pass the tests?

As little faith as I put into CU'S ratings,I don't believe they rigged the tests.They washed white swatches,smeared with black soil that would make for a load much dirtier than today's
average washload.I'm absolutely certain that on averge soiled loads,the SQ would work fine.But I like the splashy old FLs with their higher water levels the best.

Angus and Agiflow

I have used both machines and seen them in action and when it comes to rollover action the Norge will beet a Kenmore/Whirlpool any day. The friend of mine that had the two Kenmores and one Whirlpool we demonstrated our Norge/Montgomery Wards machine with a sock and it pulled it right down and she said that in her Kenmore it never went down just floated on top. Because of the way the agitator in a Norge or Norge product with the way it was designed with the angel wings at the top and sloping down smaller into the center of the agitator this helped to pull clothes down to the bottom of the washer. Trust me this is absolutely true.

Not saying i do not trust you...i also know from personal experience that a Norge/Fedders washer filled to a max load will barely roll anything. The WP super surgilator was one of the best oscillating agitators ever used. Sorry, but a Super surgilator will beat any burpilator hands down.
