Put on YouTube about 10 minutes ago. I can see it now, Eugene is doing a happy dance with the return of the Lint Guard.
Looks like they've updated the DR7000 dryer too.

UPDATED SPEED QUEEN DRYER DR5003WE for 2021

One thing I wish they would do is redesign their dryers from the ground up since they tend to scorch clothes at times and my aunt who has a Amana gas dryer made by Speed Queen isn’t very thrilled with it compared to her old 1999 Whirlpool Ultimate Care II 29” gas dryer.
SQ Dryers
We have never had a complaint of scorched clothing on SQ dryers, SQ dryers are not exactly the same as Amana, and some MT dryers of that design that were built when MT had control of SQ laundry designs for home use.
There is nothing wrong with current SQ dryer design, it is actually about the same as a Maytag Stream-Of-Heat dryer just built better [ blower that does not come loose on the motor shaft, better idler pulley arrangement, no plastic inner door, and much better lint filter design.
I think we would hear if they were having problems with scorched clothing as we are the factory service for 10,000s of SQ dryers that have been and are being sold in the DC area.

The only thing I would do differently is make the drum SS instead of galvanized steel. The heat control is just fine, I also made sure to get the DR7 with the "medium" setting. The dryer doesn't run any hotter than any other dryer we've had. We also have good venting. Bad venting will cause any dryer to run on the hotter side without enough airflow.
I bought a lint guard to go on mine and appreciate having it, saved me many times from getting clothes full of lint cuz I don't usually bother to empty the lint before pulling clothes out.

When Can I Get One
New to SQ, anxiously awaiting the release of these. Does anyone know when these models will hit the sales floor? Also, could anyone explain why the DF7 seems to be in a different "category" than the DR7. I've never been more excited to do laundry in my life.

At least they are on the web site. You can check with online retailers such s AJ Madison or ABT Electronics. The DF7 is the companion dryer for the frontloader. The DR7 is for the topload equivalent.
Scorched clothes
I’ve used my fair share of Speed Queen dryers in college and apartments.
My clothes coming out of those dryers never had physical damage that I found.
But they ALWAYS smelled like toast on 9. Came out very hot and crispy. Way hotter than the Stream Heat MT I grew up with. This led to lots of ironing.
The clothes never smelled fresh but burnt and metallic. To a point one time my dad said I smelled funny.
Yes I showered.
I was not a fan.

Toasted clothes
Our DR7 definitely bakes the clothes on Regular heat. We use the delicate heat setting most of the time
and the smell is not there. It’s just like when you open one of the commercial dryers at the laundromat while it’s heating, kind of like a cooked smell.
Question, is the “Perm Press” a medium heat?

Perm Press is SUPPOSED to be medium heat on the DR7.
DF7?
I wonder if these features are going to come over to the DF7? Having the ability to use steam in the dryer is super convenient way to refresh and dewrinkle clothing.

I'm hoping the same thing.

A Sanitize cycle is now available on the DC5, but not steam sanitize or steam refresh.
