Question for Kevin

Thanks for posting the pictures Kevin! How does it work with delivering and installing the appliance in the customer's home? Is this the responsibility of the customer, or does the store do it? If the store does, is there a separate charge for this?

 

This might seem silly to ask, but there are stores in the US that offer this service at no cost, while some do apply a separate charge.
 
Hey Darryl,

Honestly I don't know how it works, I didn't ask. But If I make it back to the mall or store I will ask.

One thing I do know is when a washer is purchased, it's brought to the sales floor, un-boxed and plugged in to show the purchaser that is works or how to work it (not sure about that one).

Elba washer

my mum had one like that here in the uk its was made by servis and was only 600 spin we got it for free but it had really bad bearings its was a good maqchine tho
 
Well, since Speed Queen is in the Philippines, I can now retire to Manila.  :)  Some of my friends are doing that - retiring there and living like Kings and Queens.  Of course, I have about 30 years before retirement age.
 
God, those old Speed Queen graphics are really terrible...leave the machine, but at least update those control panels!  Such an easy update at that.
 
I think I like the really OLD SQ control panels and logo better than the new ones-the new ones look tacky and cheap.the old had some CLASS-what the SQ machines are about.Guess if I want a SQ washer will have to go all the way to the Phillipines to get one?The energy-water police won't let you get them in the US in the future.
 
want a hello Kitty!

I love those colorful machines. They look like these small table-top machines sold over here on TV shopping. I cannot quite decide what they remind me more of: A Tupperware lunch box? An M&M dispenser? A camping toilet?
But on the other hand the all-in-one machines with impeller are nice, too.
The best for me would be a combination, stainless drum, impeller, fully automatic but the outer body in SCREAMING PÄNK!!! ;-))
So PÄNK it gives you retina cancer 8-)))

And thank God, these machines shown here don't have that dreadful filter-sock like the Japanese machines.
Who wants to swirl his T-shirts along a fungus infested SOCK anyway? I could never understand that.

OMG.... PINK???

Well all I have to say is... UGH! That is HIDIOUS! (maybe it's ALL those colors together?)

Anywho.... To answer Darryls quesiton about delivery, set-up, etc... I stopped in a store yesterday and asked about cost for delivery, set up, etc. They sais that that you can pick up and take home the same day if you want to and have the means... but there is a fee for delivery. If you buy a fully automatic machine, installation/set-up if free. Of course if one buys a twin tub, there is nothing to set up or connect.
