just a tip…unless you are washing an extremely dirty or smelly load of wash, no need for 3 pods. I use only 1 on large loads. sometimes i also add a cup of white vinegar. especially for towels. my laundry is always fresh and clean. too much soap actually does more harm than good. it’s also a ploy to get you to run out faster, more money for Tide.

+craigsclocks they’re very well made I have to say. I hope you do do a vid soon my friend. Erm, pink stripe maybe 😮

Speed Queen washers have the safety switch on the lid to keep people (especially children) from reaching into the washer, with it running. I used to have a Kenmore made by Whirlpool, that required the lid shut for the spin cycle only. I had a US Hotpoint made by GE, that would fill with the lid open, but had to be closed to wash and spin. I've used front loaders since 1999, and back then, it was Frigidaire and Maytag Neptune for American front loaders, and Maytag Neptune was the first front loader without a window on it. That was only the 1999 and 2000 models. 2001 to 2005 or 2006 models were made by Samsung. Anyway, next time you use a top loader, for the softener dispenser, measure out using the cap, and you're supposed to dilute the rest of the way, up to the lower rim. That's to keep the softener from building up residue, since it's super concentrated.

Very true.

Yeah that is a big machine, BUT compared to most washers in America it's small and they also don't spin as fast as European machines and American HE machines. Max RPM on this machine is 710 RPM. Washers in America back then were like this, it was mostly top loaders, That paddle stick thing in the middle is called the agitator. That dryer like most dryers in America is a vented machine. Not condenser or a heat pump. Very few dryers in America have a heat pump.

Great choice!! It's the best you can get today, should give you lots of years of good service. Our dryer is the gas model. Awesome that your dryer got the gray drum baffles, ours are white. I like how the washer hoses are nice and high. Great accessibility, should it be needed in the future. Your question about the dryer being condenser, does that mean it has a steam function? If so, nope. No steam for this dryer, but ya really won't need it much. Don't worry about the timer counting down during fill, after 3 or 4 minutes, it will stop until the fill is complete. Bypassing the lid switch, if you wan't to, isn't too hard to do, there should be some videos on that. Also, if ya use Second Rinse, it would be best to put the softener in when it fills for the first rinse. Side note, cool accent :D

A condenser dryer is more like a tumbler with an air conditioning condenser. They rely less on heat and mostly on dehumidification to dry the clothing. They're more common overseas than they are here.

+Sharkie626 as I was drying the clothes, I noticed steam outside and realised the outlet is plumbed into the outside wall. Our dryer back home condenses the water into a tank you have to remove and empty, or it can be plumbed directly into the waste water. As these were the appliances in our friends house I don’t want to modify anything, but if they were mine, I certainly would 😂😂😂😂😂😍

well, Speed Queen makes the best topload washers, at least through 2017, but Whirlpool likely makes the best dryers what with their moisture sensors and accurate temperature setting (I hear speed queen dryers tend to use mostly high heat no matter what they are set to) correct me if I am wrong.

I was a bit worried about it, even though it has a sensor. I have a BOSCH self cleaning condenser A+++ dryer at home and I can trust that with silk and extreme delicates, but I isn’t have any issues with the Speed Queen dryer, although I’d be hesitant with delicates 😬

Impeccably. The same is true of my new Electrolux (my washer upstairs), Maytags and Whirlpool machines (which I've had and would buy again.). I had a GE in my garage for washing rags and it only lasted three years. GE makes a terrific range (best in the mainstream industry) but their repair records and performance in laundry epuiptment are among the worst on the market since 1996 when they discontinued the FilterFlo machines that they made since 1957.

These as most American dryers are, is a convection dryer. It works like a convection oven in that it's a heating coil with a convection fan blower.

There are just a few condenser machines available on the American market.

I never thought of our clothes dryers as convection dryers. I only thought of them as venting dryers. In colder climates, you can place special filter on the end of the vent, and use the dryer to humidify your home, but only on electric dryers. You can't do that with gas dryers, unless you want carbon monoxide in your home.

You can buy Ariel pods in the UK in those Tide like containers now too, if you haven't seen them already. :)

The dryer "delicate" setting was not for that big/heavy load! The "delicate" setting is for very light-weight laundry. The "regular" setting is what should have been chosen with the higher heat temperature.

I call the 2018 the SLOW QUEEN, that's the big difference, not as fast as the transmission models. It's still made very well. Since the motor changes direction of the agitator, it's slower. If SQ changed the pulley size, it can be faster. It still beats all other brands, especially the Whirlpool crap.
