SQ Commercial TL washer for home use?

[panasonicvac]

Hi there again,

I've been curious for a while now and I tried finding other forums about this but they were mostly on front loaders.

Has anyone ever experienced with putting in a commercial Speed Queen top load washer in your home before as well as a dryer that would match with it? Particularly the ones where you would just push the button to start it instead of putting in coins or a card like the SWNMN2SP115TW01 and the SDEMNRGS173TW01 for example. If so, is there like certain things that you would need to take account with versus just having a domestic set? Is performance and power about the same as the domestic? I've never used a commercial SQ set before but I'm actually quite fascinated with commercial laundry. I worked at a car wash before where one of my favorite things to do was washing towels with commercial washers and a dryer that they had.

Commercial Non-Coin SQ W&Ds

They are the same mechanically, but more expensive and have only a parts warranty.

If you really want a true Commercial Washer at home:

Purchase the SQ FL.  It is the same design as the Coin-Op/OPL FL but with much more cycle flexibility and a lower price.  There is NO reason it can't last 30 or more years and do an amazing job on the laundry.  I would have no other machine as my daily driver.  IMEO as someone who has worked many years in commercial laundry this is the first true commercial machine for home use I have seen.
