Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

[maytaga806]

Yeah I agree he has no leg to stand on and zero credibility, he recommends the TR series, given that much that tells you all one needs to know.

My parents TR machine is a pain in the butt when trying to pause and restart it, I know the TC is slightly different cause it doesn’t have the lid lock but this thing does not like to be paused mid cycle. You go to hit pause, and it takes literally a whole minute for the door to unlock, then when you want to close the lid and restart the cycle you hit the start button again and it lights up a blue indicator light and does nothing. It just sits there so you go to hit it again and again and again and then it’ll finally restart at some point, it’s absolutely absurd and knowing the TC models have the same exact start button I could foresee many issues and inconveniences occurring with that which is why they need to stop with these computerized control panels it should never be that difficult to pause and restart a washer let alone a speed queen…

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.

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.

 

[maytaga806]

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.

 

[agiflow]

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.
