Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

For SQ to make any major inroads into domestic washer territory ALS would have to up their game. Producing domestic washers and dryers with all the gee whiz features of Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, AEG, Miele and others. This while keeping same or better build quality they are known for today. That just doesn't come cheaply.

SQ could do something that rivals say Miele's "Little Giant", but how much would MSRP be?
 
"There was a rumor while ago that SQ is tooling-up a new factory for producing a larger-capacity product."

Am no expert but at about 3.2 cu ft capacity SQ TR series top loaders are at top range of what historically could be offered by top loading washers with central beaters. Any increase in capacity likely is only possible by removing central beater and going with some sort of impeller.

As opposed to "18 lb" washers of old that could use enough water to get job done. This included rollover instead of just swatting things about.

Believe it or not, but there is just one Alliance Laundry Products dealer here in Hawaii, in addition to residential machines, the also "carry" commercial coin-op units.

Carry meaning they can order the product, there's not enough demand for the machines locally for them to stock any products, a TC5 lists for $1800 fob Honolulu, with a delivery time of a month.

There's simply not enough exposure for Speed Queen products here in Hawaii, I suspect most will only learn of the brand from laundromat visits, instead most consumers will shop for a new machine at a home improvement center, only to be duped into buying a POS with a splutch of which they'll most likely push to the curb within 3-5 years.

This is why I jumped on the opportunity to buy a 2020 model year TC5 someone was selling on FB Marketplace for $350, the seller was so inundated with inquiries that he eventually took the listing down.

Fortunately I was able to communicate with the seller prior and offered him $400 for the machine based on the pictures he had posted via Venmo right then and there, sight unseen.

Half an hour later a 4 year old, barely used TC5 was in the back of my pickup truck.

I know and appreciate the value of a Speed Queen machine...
 
Speed Queen, washer and dryers for the home laundry market

Are doing very well, almost anybody that knows anything about washing machines knows it’s the most reliable brand. Consumer reports is constantly using that in the advertising showing that they have by far the best reliability and nonsense design devoid of useless features.

It’s obvious that GE and whirlpool are both threatened by Speed Queen success this is why they’ve come out with pseudo professional models, which there seems to be pretty good demand for as well but they’re nowhere near the quality of the Speed Queens.

There’s a significant percentage of consumers who don’t really care what something costs if it has been proven to be better, we get customers fairly frequently that just want the best. They don’t care that it cost twice as much. They don’t want the hassle of problems and nonsensical features.

Speed Queen has made a conscious decision to stay out of big box stores and it seems to be working if the average Joe doesn’t know what a Speed Queen washer and dryer is as they say he doesn’t know S..it lol

Speed Queen is not trying to appeal to the low end of the market. That’s the quickest way to ruin your reputation.

Speed Queen Dual Action Agitator and Impeller

What are the chances that Speed Queen will come up with a dual action agitator unlike anybody has ever seen before? What about coupling it with their fast agitation like others before them did? I am anxious to know what they're coming up with. What about an impeller based wash system that's so effective unlike any other?
 
"Consumer reports is constantly using that in the advertising showing that they have by far the best reliability and nonsense design devoid of useless features."

Yet CR year after year now it seems for some time consistently ranks LG washing machines at top of ratings in one or more categories.

https://www.kedglobal.com/electronics/newsView/ked202404250003

What CR does seem to do is break down top loading washing machines into "HE" and not.

Ironically CR states their testing shows HE top loaders on average less effective in overall wash performance than h-axis machines, but better than top loaders with central beaters.

speed queen auto dispense

What are the chances that Speed Queen Home will introduce their own version of auto dispense? Maybe they'll come out with a top load washer and dryer with glass windows.[this post was last edited: 8/17/2024-21:57]
 
"It’s obvious that GE and whirlpool are both threatened by Speed Queen success this is why they’ve come out with pseudo professional models, which there seems to be pretty good demand for as well but they’re nowhere near the quality of the Speed Queens."

Don't believe that is wholly true.

WP, Maytag, GE and maybe a few others long offered coin-op or OPL "commercial" laundry appliances. Don't believe either then or now any of those companies truly believed they could go after much market share from likes of SQ (under its various owners before and after being acquired by ALS).

https://www.electroluxprofessional.com/us/on-premise-laundry/

According to latest data one has read top three commercial laundry manufacturers for Healthcare, Hospitality, Educational, Service Industries markets and Multi- family, OPL and vended types are in ranked order:

Alliance Laundry Systems

Electrolux

GE

ALS has SQ and Huebsch.

Electrolux has Wascator/Wascomat and Laundrylux besides marketing laundry appliances under their own brand name.

In terms of vended laundry equipment Dexter is missing from above lists, but then don't sell "OPL" equipment yet IIRC. All their washers need to be bolted into concrete flooring.

WP may very well be "worried" about SQ, but don't see them doing much about it in terms of producing washers and dryers that can truly go toe to toe with offerings from ALS or Electrolux.
 
Don't believe that is wholly true

It is my contention with regards to top load machines that as long as the manufacturer utilizes the suspension rod design that their machines will not last nearly as long those with the "milk-crate" design, ala Speed Queen.

Some have stated on this forum that these rods are readily available and easy to replace, that alone speaks volumes about the design's durability.

Gravity and the sheer weight of water are fighting the rod design, and, from what I've seen is winning the battle and eventually the war...
 
tc7 rumor

William8, we don't know for sure if Speed Queen Home is coming out with their tc7. All we can do is guess until we know for sure what's coming. Of course I have questions about what's coming. All we can do is hope for the best, I myself included.
 
Speed Queen Phone Call

I made a phone call to Speed Queen Home to inquire about what's new, and they're saying either the Classic Clean or Perfect Wash may have a different color. The details are not out yet so that was a guestimate. I hope we find out for sure.
