Returned the Speed Queen

[whirlykenmore78]

Unfathomable

You bought the best TL washer available today and returned it? Just 5 Minutes in the dryer before hanging could have solved your problem. I've just about fallen out of my chair.

First Wash

Castleberry's delivered my AWN432 this morning shortly after 8:30.  Here she is doing her first load of clothes.  Not exactly a 'matched pair' but if all goes well I hope to be able to get the matching dryer about the first of the year.

As if..

you've never seen one of these before - a closer view of the controls.  And yes, after this wash, the bright yellow sticker will be removed from the cabinet.

 

Bethann is disappointed in what was delivered.  She thought we were getting a Corvette.  She thought I said 'Speed Demon', not 'Speed Queen'.

Good luck with your new washer, and make sure you don't hit her when you open up the door on your Maytag!!! LOL
You will love the dryer also!

Speed Queen awn432

Here's my pair...I wish I still had my original Maytag Dependable Care washer, but I'm becoming quite fond of my Speed Queen! I think you'll be very happy with yours, Lawrence.

I thought I'd always prefer a white porcelain tub...but I'm beginning to like the stainless stell tub!

Lawrence, I would not rush-out to buy a SQ dryer, just because it matches, that is foolish! Go with one of those nice, top-line 27" front-filter, side-swing door Maytag conventional dryers, or a new-style Whirlpool Duet(if you wish to splurge) That one has a SS drum. The older Amana & SQ "twins" were not highly rated in many years.

SPEED QUEEN DRYERS

Take it from someone that has had hundreds of dryers and has worked on thousands, get the Speed Queen, 2nd best would be any 29" dryers from WP. The 27" WP dryers while OK have never been nearly as good as thier 29" models. The 27" WPs are slower and build up much more lint inside and have far more fires in them. [ if anyone has a WP built 27" dryer be sure to disassemble and clean inside and below the lint filter every year or so]

27" dryers

I agree with John on the 27" dryers. When I tear one down to recondition, the dryer is ALWAYS loaded with lint. Not one here or there, but every one. They are decent dryers, but they must be cleaned internally. The nice thing about the 27" is that they used teflon impregnated rollers so no need to oil them ever.

Speed Queen Dryer

I do like my SQ Dryer. The only other dryer I have owned that impressed me as much was the Harmony dryer with its dual motor system.

I still plan to buy the matching dryer.  Since the laundry sits exposed in the kitchen (by design, not accidental), it's really important that the two appliances match (IMHO).  So much so that, since the washer panel includes two rotary knobs, a rocker switch, and a timer (and there is a companion dryer with the exact setup), the dryer will have the same composition.
