hey Phil!

This is pretty cool! I didn't know that speed queen made a compact/portable dryer??
I wonder if they made a smaller washer too? They must have, right?? /

SQ washer?

Someone might know, but I haven't seen this model or anything that matches it, Christina.

The Lady Kenmore portables seem to be the most common, and I'm sure these were used

plenty in an RV, big enough to stack the washer and dryer.

These are pretty rare, they were paired with SQ's twin-tub washers.  Early 70's if I recall.

great ad Louis, and thanks for adding the info here.

I was wondering...

What this compact/portable speed queen dryer would have been paired with! I totally forgot about the speed queen twin tub washers! What the heck was I thinking?!

Yes, thank you ultramatic/Louis,for adding that vintage speed queen ad showing the compact dryer & twin tub washer, with the stacking rack.

I still can't believe I totally forgot about the speed queen twin tub washer! I was even wanting one of these twin tub washers at one time!!!

Louis beat me to it...

Dryer matches Speed Queen's entry into the twin-tub washing machine market.

My pleasure folks!

 

 

If memory serves me, it was based on the Wilkins/Servis UK washers being built in Canada. Were they called Simplicity in Canada? I'm not sure if the SQ version was built in the US or Canada though.

 



 

I would love to have the whole set with rack.

And those dryers were sold in Europe too under the labels Zanussi, Zoppas and probably Rex too. Here are a few pictures of a Zoppas.
