$1500 is a steal!!! I paid over double for my whirlpool. Broke down 4x. Last time it broke, it could’ve been 1 of 3 things. I decided to scrap it. Lasted 7 years with 2 adults and 1 child under the age of 10. Replaced it with a Speed Queen front loader....been almost 10 years, no issues.

The main reason I believe they " discontinued" the machine was to change the design to put the door hinge on the opposite side like every other brand, so you can mount the pair more easily with standard house hold plumbing i.e. water access on the left in most homes. Before, in order to keep the washer door from being in the way when moving clothes from the washer to the dryer, you had to have the washer on the left and the dryer on the right.

This machine sucked. Saying it isn't the best performing is an understatement - it does NOT rinse well, which is pretty mind boggling considering how it spins. Warranty is crap if you only have one authorized service/sales reseller locally and they are unreliable hot garbage. If they don't have a good reseller nearby you are just SOL - was beyond frustrating for my parents. The decal on the controls on both the washer and dryer front panel had issues and it took over six months of getting the run around before the warranty repair work could get done. For the price of these units that is UTTERLY unacceptable. After two years of trying to coax something decent performance wise out if this machine my parents replace it with the LG front load washer and matching dryer and the performance was night and day. I didn't think there could be that big of a difference between washing machines, but there is! Easiest example - bath towels. They always were a bit "flat" with the Speed Queen. Also a little dingy with a funky smell no matter what you did. After my parents got the LG unit installed I took all the bath towels, including the "clean" ones from the cabinet and re-washed them in the new LG set. They came out of the washer/dryer ultra fluffy, super soft and ultra absorbent. No more dingy/funk to them either. It felt like someone slipped in and swapped the old towels out for completely different ones. Same physical location. Same water. Same detergent. Same laundry. Only thing that was changed was the equipment and LG utterly DESTROYED Speed Queen in how well it cleaned and rinsed the laundry by comparison. It wasn't even close. So yeah, screw Speed Queen. My parents donated their Speed Queen set to a local charity thrift store; they now wash donated items - perfect use. For home use? Hell no. LG beats the pants off performance wise, hands down. Indeed my 15 year old Duet HT is finally starting to show some issues and I have an LG set coming Friday to replace them. Gotta love sales at Costco. I'll CHEERFULLY replace the LG set four times vs. Speed Queen and still consider it a HUGE win. I don't care if the damn Speed Queen lasts a lifetime if it performs like crap. Laundry performance was hot garbage, especially for the price paid for it.

Recently this unit stopped achieving the high speed spin (this only occurs with a wet load - not a DRY TEST load.

Very expensive - approximately 350.00. Being that the unit actually is able to achieve the high speed spin (during a DRY TEST load only), do you think the problem could lie elsewhere - perhaps the shock absorbers. The unit is only 8 years old. I'm not ready to give up on it but would rather not waste a bunch of money in trying to trouble shoot the issue. I live in Pittsburgh.

Wondered about this on the Speed Queens too. Seems like it's usually neither aluminum nor stainless, but rather a die cast zinc alloy, and the corrosion is accelerated by the alkaline wash solution. You'd think they could try to encapsulate the part in a plastic or porcelain coating to protect it, as you see on some mixer paddles. I realize casting a piece that size out of stainless would be costly, and you need something substantial enough to support the back of a thin sheet metal drum, but the zinc seems like a poor fit for the application.

Good luck. After two years of fighting/experimenting with all kinds of hair brained suggestions from all over the Internet (and even some from Speed Queen) my parents gave up and replaced their SQ set with LG. The difference was night and day and immediate. At least you are only out $50, they bought theirs new :p If you want a machine who's greatest feature is apparently long life and little else, you have quite the gem there. If you want something capable of actually removing soap from your laundry pick just about anything but a speed queen. BTW - the LG WM3900 models (and maybe the cheaper ones too; not positive) spray clean rinse water WHILE they are spinning as part of the rinse/spin cycle. Something that I remember top loaders doing as a kid but for some reason not many modern washers seem to do. It's amazingly effective at rinsing out your laundry and probably why the LG set beats the snot out of SQ in actual cleaning of laundry.

Confession:. I add extra water through the detergent shoot because these front loaders never seem to fill enough for Ms. Starlin's taste.

I’ve used the horizon model at an apartment complex and now have the 2019 stacked set. Even though they say it has a larger capacity than the horizon, but it’s hard to tell. What I liked about the horizon series was that baffles were stainless steel (not plastic, as on the current model...not sure why the change. SQ says the new baffles are patented, not sure what’s so revolutionary about them though). I also liked the water spray fill/distribution and the spray rinse on low speed spin right after the wash cycle drains. I didn’t like, nor understood the purpose of the pulse spin on the horizon series. What I like about this model: more cycle selection and customization, up to 5 rinses, and I think it is far better balanced. The downside is that it fills from the outer drain tub vs directly spraying the clothes (but this might be better for detergent/bleach distribution/dilution) and no spray rinse. So far, it’s been a great machine and has really good capacity. (The manual says it can handle 21lbs of laundry).

I thought the plastic baffle machines are Horizon machines, and the models before 2015 (with the steel baffles) were pre-horizon? In any case, the new models are 3.42 cubic feet, While the older model is 2.8 cu. Ft.

I love the idea of a speed queen but would never buy anything from our dealer here in Savannah. I’ve been waiting for them to call me since Oct 2017 to let me know they have a front loader on hand.

They did you a favor - stick with LG. At least you can buy them anywhere and get them serviced by anyone. LG also beats the pants of SQ performance wise. Internet laundry nerds are enamored by this brand for some reason - heck he even admits in this video it's performance at it's core function isn't the best; yet still gushes about it for 20 minutes! I wish I could generate that much market wankery for a product I was selling.

Quality and made in the USA.

Can you please recommend a stacked washer and dryer that will handle super dirty laundry (like mud, concrete, diapers, pet messes, etc)? I’m interested in the speed queen, but I need to make sure I don’t end up with one of the few crappy models. Thanks!

Bosch front loader with a bosch dryer stacked on top, We all have front loaders in the uk and across the rest of Europe, bosch are excellent machines, not sure if yours in the states have internal heaters though like ours, our machines can go from cold and heat all the way to 90 degrees (194 degrees Fahrenheit) which at that temperature is the best for towels both bathroom snd kitchen,

Is electrolux better and speedqueen

You keep saying this one or that one is not the best performing, so which one is the best performing front loading washer? As of OCT 2019 ?

Ever notice any mold in the door boot when servicing them? Renters aren't going to remember to keep it open. Rip it open, throw clothes in the dryer, slam is shut.

2:32 for a brand focused on reliability that's a very sub par pcb. 5:21 plastic lifters? LG has stainless steal ones, which I would think stainless steel would last longer. 4:45 get rid of the inside door seal! ASKO actually has a really good design aspect being that it has no inside gasket/seal. The door is directly on the outer drum. Only a small outer seal between outer drum and the cabinet/chassis. Also no direct drive :( Honestly I am so annoyed by modern appliances I want to start my own brand, haha! One that actually is innovative and makes advanced, beautiful products that actually last 15-20+ years with no maintenance! Also the current Speed Queen front loaders that are available in Australia (AFNE9B, AFNE9BSS) only do a 1200rpm spin!

It’s not uncommon for a Speed Queen washer to last 20+ years. The useful life of an LG is 5-10 years. Look up the difference between RPM and RCF. RCF is the important metric for spin performance, this is why Speed Queen advertises its 440 g-force spin.

I'm on my second Whirlpool; purchased #1 in 1999 >$1200; #2 in 2016 >$850... do the arithmetic... Speed Queen is a bargain, it's repairable (my first Whirlpool was not, as the main bearing went, and they said it would cost more than a new machine to repair it.).

@a89proof

The second one likely won't be repairable either, as the way most are assembled means there is no service access to the bearings, seals, spindle, or drive spider that the inner drum are supported by. Service replacement requires changing out the drum and tub as an assembly, which is costly in both freight and labor. Out of warranty, and adding the cost of the part itself, it quickly becomes cost prohibitive. There have been, and still are, some models which have tubs that can be split to service bearings and spiders, but you'd have to factor the cost of parts (drum spindle w/ spider, bearings spacers and seals, tub seal) and labor to know if that's beneficial or not.

Are they still making a front loader even though this one has been discontinued ??

They sell it in a stacked unit. Have had the stacked unit and am really impressed with it. The manual says it can handle up to a 20lb load. It does fit 2 heavy cotton king sized blankets with no problem.

I have the SQ stackable in our apartment and I love it...Was looking to purchase a SQ front loader because I was moving into a house with a laundry room and they no longer make them.. What is a good front loader brand that washes well and is reliable? It is very annoying to have to purchase a new washer dryer every 3-4 years... And I really don't want to purchase a stackable when I actually have a laundry room that fits a side by side machine in my home...

Speed Queen front loaders are back, and you can get stainless steel as well. But would you even buy anything from Speed Queen after all the crap that happened with the 2018 top loaders? (Removing negative reviews, revoking a dealer's license for giving an honest review/opinion?)

A store is selling a scratch and dent for $1560 total in 2023. Same model. Should I buy?

I live about an hour from Ripon Wi. I just don't understand what SQ. Is thinking with there business model by discontinuing these high quality machines. I own a 2017 top loader that works beautifully. I see Maytag commercial reclaim Some former glory perhaps.

@@sprockkets you misread my comment. First US Government made regulations to residential appliance and now they are making regulations to commercial products including the Speed Queen. you noticed Speed Queen made changes to their top load washers beginning on the 2018 models.

I have this washer now but only with the rear control panel, it is 10 months old and I need a new control board in it because 8 out of 10 loads a week will not go into the high speed spin!!! I called speed queen direct and they told me that the control board that increases the speed during the final spin cycle must be failing and they gave me the part # of the board and told me to tell my repair man to order this board as a replacement!!! There are times that the machines will go off balance to the point where it starts bouncing around and slamming into my dryer without shutting down and I have to pause it myself manually, and then there are lots of times where the machine will start spinning perfectly straight but never pick up speed!!! Speed Queen told me that it should not react that way and that there is definitely something wrong with the board and that it should be replaced because it should react to a out of balanced load and shut down automatically and that the speed should increase to 1200 RPM's when high spin is selected which it don't... Thank God that this is covered by the warranty because it is a $500 board!!! Will be fixed on Friday so I hope this will put these problems to rest??? Have a good one all!!!

Robert that could explain why you are having problems with your washer where the mcu were failing prematurely. I hope your front load washer gets fixed and will work right and not go off balance and walk or bang into the dryer.

The rear controls are located where they'd be on a top load pair. I have the same machines. It makes it easier to fold laundry on top without clothing falling behind the machines.

I wish I knew how they rationalize the cost on these service replacement control boards. The unit cost in manufacturing is probably in the $25-$50 range. Then figure that board level failures are probably far less common than poor wiring connections...

Do you know anyone who owns Speed Queen's new 2019 model FF7 front loader yet? I'm considering purchasing one, but am hesitant to do so due to lack of reviews on the re-released front load models. Just wondering if they're as good as the older one Eugene tested in this video.
