Speed Queens
I have had some encounters with Speed Queen here in New Zealand. Harvey Norman was the only appliance store selling them at the time, and I recall seeing all the different models shuffling in each year. In 2018, the AWNE92SP113TW01 and matching dryer arrived, and they were unfortunately going to be the last Speed Queens I ever saw new at the shops (Not that I wanted to buy one, it was just cool seeing them there).
The TR and TC machines never came to Harvey Norman in New Zealand, so I assumed they stopped supplying them to the stores or it just became too expensive. Anyhow, I haven't seen the new Speed Queens since. I guess the only way to get one now would be to shop for them online. There are also plenty of second-hand commercial units for sale on TradeMe.co.nz.
The Machine itself is probably made for those who are coming off of a vintage appliance and want a machine of the same quality, where performance and capacity aren't that important (This is especially true in America). Of course, Speed Queen has an advantage in that they are the only brand still doing that today, which would explain the high price tag. Outside of that group of people, the Speed Queen doesn't really shine so well. Energy Rating here has given both the washer and dryer 1/6 stars. By today's standards, they are also quite slow with the spin and short on options.
Compared to the U.S., I don't think New Zealand is too big into quality over performance appliances; That's probably why Speed Queen never did so well here and they are no longer for sale at the shops. I still think that it's a fantastic machine, and well done to the brand for keeping it alive so that those who want it can buy it.
