I have to hand a small prize to Speed Queen. I do not use the extra rinse button on my machine. I let it go through the regular two rinse program and then the high speed final spin which extracts a LOT more water than the pulse spins. Then I reset the program knob for Rinse and Spin. It does a great job in that last rinse. After the fill is complete, I turn the selector to OFF and then back to Rinse & Spin to give a longer tumbling time in the last rinse. Since I am down there for that, I practice a bit of "force feeding" with a hose inserted into the dispenser to bring the water a couple of inches up on the glass but, while there are bubbles, the water is not sudsy in the third rinse. It was not as free of suds if I used the Extra Rinse with the less effective pulse spins. It probably helps that I use half Persil and half STPP so there is less sudsing even in the wash. It's good to have at least one "beast" that is built on a commercial platform that can handle pretty much anything without stopping repeatedly to redistribute the load.

Does what you are saying mean that the Speed Queen FLs do not do complete spins between each rinse..reading that right?

You read that right
the only reason I know is a forum member (Malcolm I think) had a SQ FL washer and made videos of it and posted them here a few years ago, and they do pulse spins between the wash and rinses, not full ON spins...until the end of course.

Pulse Spins
I found that the PULSE spins on the SQ machine was more than effective in extracting sudsy water while minimizing suds locking the machine.

Yogi, I think one reason the Neptune was able to make the claim of effectively washing such a large load is that the Neptune's staggered paddles move the load side to side in addition to up and over.

Those paddles
on that Neptune put the paddles I see in front load washers now to shame. They are SO small.
