Why Do All Speed Queens Spray Rinse While Full of Water?

[gelaundry4ever]

wash routine

I'll let you know. I make sure I wash everything on heavy soil on the normal cycle just to get a real rinse. The only thing that changes is the temp depending on color type.

 

[Chetlaham]

Are your machines OPL? Do they do a grey water rinse?

No, they're coin-operated. However, they can be paid through the csc go app. When you select heavy soil during the normal cycle, you get to do a deep rinse. By the way, the downy ball did open.

 

[Chetlaham]

Glad to hear you can get a deep rinse and the downy ball opening. Both get the job done.

 

Do you have pictures of those coin-op Speed Queens? Anything Speed Queen is a luxurious experience.

Speed Queen pictures

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures. However, I completely that Speed Queen is the only luxury brand that truly does get the job done and last.

 

[Chetlaham]

Its ok! As of right not, Speed Queen is the only real luxury brand. Sad that luxury used to come standard, even in BOL apartment grade washers and dryers. Now not even most $2000 machine offerings have it.

so-called luxury laundry

These so-called luxury laundry brands like LG and Samsung are anything but luxury. What did I miss?

 

[Chetlaham]

Lots of error codes, early break downs, no serviceability, hard to find parts, detergent stains, wrinkling, lint, unclean clothes, streaks, pilling, tears, tangling, twisting, discoloration, gunk, very long cycle times, smells, creepy noises, annoying noises, features that will never be used, confusing controls, locking lids, loads that go off balance easily, materials which break just by looking at them, states of befuddlement where one is not sure if the machine is working correctly, incorrectly or transmitting telemetry data to China.  

 

Yes I'm aware detergent staining shouldn't happen with dispensers however I don't use built in detergent dispensers. A good machine doesn't need them. I just throw the Tide Pod underneath the water fall or add detergent to the bottom of the basket as the machine is filling. Then add clothes. None luxury brands don't let you do this because they want to play with the dry clothes for 10 minutes first then spend another 10 minutes judiciously creating pseudo moist wet naps. Lots of intermission breaks in-between too. Got to let the clothes age then marinate before moving to the "wash" portion of the show. 

 

 

Exception in my heart is the GE Filter Flo, just add detergent to the pan and you get a real no nonsense detergent dispenser.

Don't even get me started...

On undissolved or undiluted fabric softener. With true luxury brands like Speed Queen, fabric softener gets mixed in with the water thoroughly. I noticed you get a subtle laundry detergent and fabric softener without itching or oilly feelings.

 

[Chetlaham]

Water and distribution is key. Granted some, actually a lot of people overdose HE machines but at the same time the machine isn't all that innocent either.  Speed Queen pays forward a conscious user. Even Whirlpool TLs fail to do that releasing the fabric softener halfway through the first spin and then a spray rinse in the final spin.

deep rinse

I also use a deep rinse by selecting heavy soil. That is why fabric softener dilutes and mixed evenly. The agitator rinses the soap while the fabric softener knocks down suds.

 

[Chetlaham]

Deep rinse is the only good way to get softner to work in a top loader IMO.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

deep rinse

In addition to softener working, it also insures that all the detergent is rinsed out. That's real luxury that actually works as long as it's a Speed Queen. You'd think luxury laundry would take the abuse and still keep running.

Waschmaschine Missbrauch

Oh! Trust me when I say the most sincere indicator of luxury laundry equipment is the ability to take abuse and still keep going. Central dial Maytags come to mind. You could very severely overload the machine and the agitator would still keep going without anything tripping out. On my Speed Queen I've had serious inadvertent imbalances. The bottom of the tub will bang into the cabinet, but the machine will not reach full speed or walk across the room. 

 

DDs have an issue with motor couplers breaking to often in my taste, where as on Maytags the belts lasts 30 years under all types of conditions. And once its time to change them, its a breeze.

Chet I have never met anything like you you live in an incredible little dreamworld it’s obvious why you have to stay hidden because you would get bullied for the things you write.

Maytag dependable care was the only washer ever made that you could not overload because the agitator would not keep going the belt would burn up. We used to run warranty calls when the machines were three months old because somebody tried to stuff too much in it and the belt burned up, luckily, it was easy to fix, and people learn not to overload them, but there was no other top load agitator washer ever made were the agitator would just quit moving and it would damage the machine.

Direct drive washer seldom ever broke drive couplings usually get at least 10 years of very heavy use out of them. I just rebuilt one from 1991 last week and still had the original Drive coupling in it. It looked like new I didn’t even replace it.

You can go on making up anything you’d like but it doesn’t make it so.

Speed Queen vs. competitors

I've clearly noticed the difference between Speed Queen and their competitors. First of all, the feel of the machines are clearly industrial grade. Second of all, they wash and rinse for real, when you consider how the competition just sprinkles the laundry and barely moves it around.

What sets Speed Queen machines apart from competitors?

Speed Queen washing machines are pushed beyond their limit at Speed Queen's state-of-the-art test lab, ensuring unmatched durability.

Thats the whole point, you let the cheapest part of the machine either slip, fuse, or crack under a profound overload. Severe overloads won't do that to a Maytag however.

 

A DD motor is the exact same concept- it will typically shatter (at least an aged one) if the agitator is prevented from moving.

 

IIRC Mythbuster/Discovery Channel even did an episode where one of the hosts put his feet in the washer and the coupler broke after they turned it on trying to test out a particular myth.

Speed Queen is the obvious choice in every way. I tend to notice those on YouTube and chat forums praising Speed Queen are often very lucid with a low propensity for BS.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

To Chetlaham...

I agree 100%. I use these Speed Queens all the time. I watched all three of the washers running before I left for my internship and as usual, no messing around.

 

[Chetlaham]

I've been using a Speed Queen washer and Maytag dryer for 10 years now. I know how both machines behave, as well as those I used and tried prior. It is indeed a night and day difference. They do not mess around. 100% 140*F hot water. There are no error codes. No pilling or tears. No residue. No suds out of the drain pipe. No extra time spent filling, coasting or balancing. No break downs. No service calls. Imbalances are rare. Just clean clothes that smell amazing in 90 minutes! The durability is something you can feel too.

 

The dryer is the best dryer ever made. And the washer is easily in the top 5 greatest ever produced in the world. Only thing I would ever trade the washer for is a new Maytag Helical Center Dial.
