Retooled Speed Queen Website: New Models On Parade

[DreamKeeper]

Launch time...

I just wanted to follow up on my earlier post about when the new SQ models would be available to purchase.

Even though I already purchased the 542, one of the dealers I spoke to last week got back to me today and said that he had spoken with his Alliance rep and that the rep confirmed that the new models will launch sometime in March.

He said its possible that they may start shipping some units out to dealers at the end of February but March will be when they really start rolling out.

Anyway, I just wanted to give that piece of info to those who are still wondering when the new models will be available to purchase.

I do find it odd that SQ changed their website to showcase the new models so early. It almost seems to be a bit of teasing on their part.

Typical Marketing

Many companies announce new product before availability to create market excitement and to get potential customers to hold off buying competitor products by re-directing their thinking to their new offering.

I wonder if Huebsch, the Canadian version of Speed Queen, is going to offer these same models? I just checked their website and there is no mention of them.

energystar.gov lists some of these models - at least the FL - also as available in Canada.

Mid March

I received the same confirmation from my SQ Sales rep.

I am wondering the same thing i aspecaly like the topload model and the electric eco dryer cycle

Oh, that be-u-tee-ful Q!

Did anyone notice that in the videos, the Speed Queen "Q" seems to have a polished, raised effect on the topload models? I couldn't tell on the front load, front control panel models.

Any guess on pricing for the rear control (digital), front load? I think I can see it hanging out with my 542 and blending well--so nice to have the rear control option.

I called Speed Queen directly when they first hit Facebook and was told they are starting to mfg them in January, and shipping in Feb. All things considered, March would probably be accurate. My local Speed Queen dealer was unaware of new changes and was terrified that I told him electronic controls were on their way. He took my number, but never called me back.

By the way--instead of email...why not just call? When you speak with them, let them know the email isn't working--probably a glitch or overlooked requirement on the new site (like 60 SPM).

Malcom's Imperial

Malcom, were you thinking of getting the stainless? Do you still have the Imperials?

Imperials

I still have my Imperials. I would replace them with the rear controlled models that you are also considering.

Communication

Danmantn,
Call and talk to my local distributor who generally knows nothing and is not honest or call and talk to Speed Queen who insists that I talk only to my local distributor? I think under these circumstances email is called for and, of course, my local distributor, while it has an email address, it doesn't "work" and that is, I suspect, quite deliberate on their part (I am 99% certain that email from @speedqueen.com would get through just fine). They are not going to put any of their lies into writing and they definitely have different stories for different audiences. The only "impact" is that I will not be one of the first purchasers. I will continue to read about these products. and may buy them one day if I can find a better distributor...SQ's only loss is one sale in 2015 which is inconsequential to them.

Question about speed queen delivery

Hello to all,

if my mom was to order directly from speed queen when we have to replace the set we have would speed queen deliver from the us to canada province of quebec (unless they sell the topload model and matching dryer under the hubesch name in the province of quebec) because i love the idea of an eco cycle on the dryer?

Thank you to anyone who can answer this question

Sounds good Malcom. I'm going to get the rear control so that it will fit in with my 542. It's nice that the shape of the control panel will match. I'm glad the wash drum is bigger--that was always a big negative before. It will also be interesting to see how quiet they are--the ones at the laundromat (front load) are very quiet.

Maybe you guys can talk me through how to hook everything up so that they can share water lines and stand pipes.

Let me know as soon as you hear about pricing!

New SQ Models

We had a long meeting with our SQ rep a week ago and he assured me that we will have most new models by the end of January. By DOE rules SQ will not be able to ship most current laundry after January 15th 20015, so it seems unlikely that they will stop selling W&Ds for around two months.

 

[danmantn]

Awesome!

 

[pierreandreply4]

its sad but there are chances that we might never see the nnew electronique controls models top load and front load in canada unless the canadien huebesch factorys makes them when you look canada quebec speed queen distributors on the speed queen web sit we get this message. Speed Queen is not authorized to sell home laundry in Canada.
Please see our Huebsch Canada Home Laundry website to locate a dealer nearest you.

Speed Queen Laundry Center

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;">I need to replace my current Frigidaire Gallery stacked washer and dryer (in my personal residence).  It was great for a few years.  I am now on my second mother board, the washer will not rinse (I have to run the machine through two wash cycles), and I really do not want to spend anymore on repairs.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;">At the Estate residence I manage, I replaced the old and very problematic Electrolux washers and dryers with Speed Queen Laundry Centers.  The Speed Queens are terrific.  Fast, use water, and problem free.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;">I really want the new Speed Queen Laundry Center for my home.  The versatility of the new design is j</span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;">ust what I want.  Any ideas when pricing will become available? </span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;">A great day to all,</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;">Richard </span>

How is Speed Queen meeting the new efficiency requirements in its top-load washers? Will they use a spray rinse instead of a deep rinse? Will they use Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to reduce wash water temperatures?

Damn the Torpedoes, Full Steam Ahead

Looks like Speed Queen is gearing up fast. Speed Queen has now listed their new Front Load washer/dryer design to their commercial web pages (Vended Laundry, Multi-Housing Laundry, and On Premises Laundry). These pages include new brochures listing the new front load washers.
