Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

Tr series

The TR series is too gentle for my liking. I like a nice agitation that's harsh enough to get out the dirt, but not beat the fibers out of them.
What the heck is wrong with people who recommend this series? I'd tell them to try doing a heavy duty cycle. It reninde me of the GE hydrowave.

I am very disappointed in his lies. I couldn't believe he said that Speed Queen was going to build Texas sized units. I was really looking forward to them.

Reply #179 The TC5 has the same button

The TC5 has a start button, but there is no need to use it. If you open the lid it stops, when you close the lid it restarts. No button press required.

 

[william8]

clarify

For a pause that is. You do need to touch the button to start a load. But you don't need to rotate a dial. I actually prefer it to my old EM Maytag. If I overshot the timer setting, I had to rotate it all the way around again...

William, I think Dan in reply #179 was referring strictly to the TR series. That model has a locking lid because it does not have a spin break -- the washer merely coasts to a stop when the spin cycle is over. So, that machine does require the start/pause button to be pressed to restart the machine after the lid has been opened mid-cycle.

I know he was, but he also said:
"knowing the TC models have the same exact start button I could foresee many issues and inconveniences occurring with that"

I was just pointing out that there was no inconvenience, or issues. It's also a capacitive touch button, not mechanical, so it shouldn't wear out.

Yup, we've only just got black machines this year. I've even contacted SQ directly and told me that whatever Appliance Insider said was obviously not true.

Ok that’s good, cause it’s such a pain to have to pause the TR model to add something or just check to make sure it’s actually doing something. I’m glad Speed Queen preset the TC series to auto start once the lid closes much like how the commercial coin operated models work. Now I’m more fond on the TC! Thanks for that information.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

auto start

The Speed Queen Commercial coin ops auto start too, and I'd be glad to know that their home models do the same thing as far as the classic is concerned.

 

[maytaga806]

That’s exactly what I just said.

 

[panasonicvac]

This just popped up.

 

[user 12105]

So, is it another color or a new model ?

 

[Chetlaham]

I am hoping its a TC7 or TC9. Classic clean is still in demand.

Popped-up at what location?

Speed Queen Home

I was and am curious about what Speed Queen Home is coming out with soon. Most average joes and janes need to hear what a Speed Queen Home washer and dryer should sound like to appreciate them.

Looks like Speed Queen is retiring the mechanical timer on their lower end dryers. DR3 and DC5 are getting shifted to the same setup as the DR5 was a while back. New models are listed as DR3004 vs the DR3003 and DC5004 vs DC5003.

I've always found it to be such a let down that on machines with limited dual positions, you'd only get 1 or 2 time dry settings

Especially here where you could easily double the dryness selector with time selections (Less dry / 15 min, near dry / 30min, dry / 45min).

 

[panasonicvac]

I wonder if this is in response to the issues the old DC5 had? I've read that if people turn the cycle knob counterclockwise, it'd mess up the timer.

 

[Chetlaham]

Hene4, I feel you. If everyone was like me Speed Queen would have a EM timer offering up to 125 minutes of dry time. Like all dryers should.  

 

 

 

[Chetlaham]

Alex, give me a WE4X525 / 963D123G009 timer any day.


 

 

A 4 position drum inlet heat selection switch- 5,600 watts / 2,800 watts / 1,400 watts / air fluff

 

A 4 position drum outlet temp control switch- heavy cotton high / normal medium high / knits medium low / dedicates low


 

A push to start button

 

 

My ultimate luxury dryer with every combination I could ever need. One can dream.

I agree with you. What are the chances Speed Queen Home will upgrade their washers?

 

[Chetlaham]

The more people buy, the more Speed Queen expands, the grater the odds of them catering to granular customer preferences. 

 

 

Ideally I'd like to see a TC3, TC7 and a TC9 in between the TC5 series.

 

 

TC3 would be an EM model with manual water level control, temp knob, extra rinse switch and 3 to 4 cycles. Basically an TV2000WN with water level control.

 

 

 

TC7 would be like the TR7, electronic touch-pad with a variety of cycle and options.

 

 

TC9 would be a touch screen model with every cycle imaginable, speed combination, automatic temperature control and wifi capabilities with onboard diagnostics. 3 Speed or a variable speed motor would be a plus. GE already did an economical variable speed sysyem with their WHSB9000B and up models. Possible triple smart detergent dispenser system though thats a bit of a risk.

I know many of you guys are younger, but no washer ever needed Wi-Fi. You still need to be there to load and unload the thing.

 

[panasonicvac]

The only closest thing you'd ever see on a TC7 today is getting a commercial electronic model and converting the board of a 9 series.

Don't forget about an auto fabric softener dispenser for bulk storage.
