Speed queen scrubbing their reviews

2018 regulation effects

The old machines were fine with regard to the new regulations and water usage. The old motor simply used too much electricity. If they used the modern motor design that was more efficient they could have kept everything else the same. If they used the slow speed motor windings for agitation on Normal/Eco and included a few pauses, they even could have kept the old motor.

I can say that after the Stephen family relinquished control of Weber Stephen grills to BDT, their whole operation has changed. Domestic sourcing and manufacturing is being all off-shored. I've heard only the high end charcoal products will stay in the US.
Many local Chicago Weber facilities are being mothballed or consolidated.
And I've met a lot of "former" Weber folks recently. So the traditional staff want no part of the changes.
They say it's all changing, and BDT just wants to squeeze more money out of the already very profitable rock.

Be prepared for waves of shoddy Weber quality the next few years until they realize the market will not support their corner cutting.

I am honestly surprised that Alliance has not gone through the same thing yet. Maybe it is, and the market hasn't seen it yet.

Ironic, I just checked their website and now all three models have ZERO reviews!

Has anyone emailed and simply asked them why they are removing reviews from their website? I wonder if one would even get a reply?

 

[johnb300m]

I asked them in a public way.

I've made a similar question and look at their answer

Hello, Thank you for your question. Transparency and authentic are important to us, and we’d like to help clarify, since there has been some misinformation about our new washers and reviews. We removed positive and negative reviews from our website, because either they mistakenly reviewed an old product or we could not confirm the reviewer purchased the new model.

You're welcome to learn more about our authenticity standards here: HTTP://www.bazaarvoice.com/TRUSTMARK/.

Coincidently, guess what... the link they informed doesn't work! LOL

Thank you Speed Queen for opening the doors and stretching the red carpet for MY model. Kisses, Darling!

Speed Queen have taken down ALL of the reviews

I looked on the internet just moments ago, and there were no reviews listed at all for any of the toploaders. Seems fishy to me.

This is their new public response.

Given the poor grammar,

I'd say this is a desperate attempt at a cover-up by a low-level mid-management type.

"Transparency and authentic are important..."????

Never mind the rest of that sentence.

"... I'd say something was rotten..."

Aye - to the core!

Foolish behaviour.

If they delete the existing reviews, and thus have no reviews, people might think that nobody else is buying the machines, and thus folk'll not bother purchasing them in the first place!

rotten but it won't come out in the wash... because the washer doesn't clean

You can't polish a turd, nor can you pick it up by the clean end!
