Re: The Wall.
He could build a pretty good moonshine still with all that copper tubing and those gauges.

I'll have to let them know Speed Queen's Patronus Absolutus is in our family. Love the look of the electronic control panel.
Aside: What was with pouring the quarter-teaspoon of liquid detergent into the softener dispenser?
I suppose it's kind of like putting a phonograph in front of a kid. A traditional washer is alien to them, LOL.
Hi, Ben!

Rinse agent?? Perhaps they were having spotting problems lol

I also like the bit that because it's not a 'high tech' washer it is more easily repaired.
The much more mechanically simple front loaders are easier to repair...

Phil, you nailed it. That statement made me question Reviewed.com's credentials in a big way.

I'm sorry but I just don't see how their review has anything to do with AW.org
Washer Cult - Free KoolAid?
I wouldn't call that a "review" but on the product page, they state that they haven't done a full test and review on the SQ, so this must be just the trailer. They did make a lot of bold statements about the machine, reliability, easier to repair, etc. so it will be interesting to see what they say about the performance once that data-wall gives up it's secrets.

All that copper tubing:
Could make many stills. It is actually there to test the machines under various water conditions, temperatures and pressures to see how they handle the variances.
I have seen a set-up like this first hand at the old Ecolab R&D center In Mendota MN. There were at least a dozen commercial dishwashers of varying makes, types and ages hooked to it. All sitting under a massive canopy hood to draw out the steam. THe purpose of it all was to test how various Ecolab products worked in a wide range of dishwashers and water conditions.
Cool stuff science is. Too bad many don't believe in it anymore.

Wonky review
1) "... it did particularly poorly against protein-based stains. During the Whites cycle, we suspect that an improperly timed hot water rinse baked those stains into fabrics instead of washing them out."
2) As mentioned previously, detergent in the softener dispenser.
3) I suppose it's just a demo of the panel but the video shows setting the temp, water level, and soil level, then changing the cycle which changes those settings.
4) Most modern machines don't have a spin-only selection?

They are excellent, durable washers, but I agree...they don't clean any better than modern washers. I would def consider buying one, however...just because I like the old school design.
Cleanability
I see a lot of bashing about clean ability, at least that this machine isn't as good as other modern machines. I call flaming BS. In my experience a Speed Queen will out clean most modern US front and top load washers. Consumer reports and other always seem to somehow down play their clean ability, but in all honesty I would not be surprised if they are being influenced by select entities... Lets face it, consumer reports and the like are a marketing platform controlled by the big players. Its easier to sell by stating the obvious (Speed Queen is more dependable) and down play the less obvious (clean ability). That way machines even out, and impeller garbage has a level playing field. The most unequal thing of all is equal treatment of unequal machines... Americans are left to think its all machines have their individual pros and cons with everything evening out and people buying based on their own personalty traits/preference... Come reality some machines are all cons and some like Speed Queen are all pros.

I agree with reviewed's view. I asked around the store, our techs and other sales staff agree as well. (Well, we all disagree with the soap in the softener portion...)
It may not have perfect clean-ability ratings, nothing has that, but it is probably one of the most durable and reliable washers on the market.
Perfect for Joe and Susie Farmer and their 12 kids after a long day of slopping the hogs here in rural ND.
(We are only a Speed Queen Platinum dealer.)

Are all pros
40gal water usage, "small" capacity, low spin speeds, no boosted wash temps. Yes, all pros, I mean, duh, how could anyone not see that as a pro.
