We previously owned a Fisher-Paykel dryer which had two features this dryer does not have. First, it was a top loader which we were disappointed to learn no longer exists for any brand of dryer. That feature was a real convenience. We were very disappointed to learn Speed Queen did not have a top loading dryer. Secondly, our Fisher-Paykel had a lint cup that fit neatly on the side of the inside of dryer that you could conveniently pull and dump out with little effort. The Speed Queen has a lint trap that you have to pull out and then clean out with your fingers which takes more effort and is messier.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful machine! My clothes is coming out smelling very clean, unlike my 2 year old front loading machine that always had a bad smell even though the door was always left open and clothes didn't smell fresh.
I like everything about the washer with the exception of the Eco setting. Every load that has been done on eco has resulted in a puddle of fabric softer in the bottom of the washing machine at the end of the cycle. Fabric softener ends up all over the clothes as well. Not very eco friendly when the clothes have to be washed a second time.

Hello, and thank you for reaching out. Our technicians recommend against utilizing fabric softener when selecting the Eco cycle. Our team recommends that you utilize hot or warm water temperatures when using fabric softener so that it helps dissolve the product. You can also try utilizing the Extra Rinse option. Hope this helps!
Basically, I love my new washer/dryer - but have one concern. I have noticed on a few of my laundered items some "spots" that were not there before washing. Almost like grease is being left on the garments.
This is the best washing machine I have ever owned. It's quiet, easy to use, and gets my clothes cleaner than ever before. It's heavier and runs much smoother than any other washing machine I have owned. The warranty it comes standard with is tremendous.
Love the way this cleans. Have only had a few months. Faster, quieter, more efficient. My only issue is with the lack of an in-hand manual of instructions. I did not know it was HE until it smelled. I did print off the one online (Not an easy task) as well as ordered a hard copy. Still have not received the hardcopy and my printer was not very good copy. Equipment seems to be living up to its reputation. Will repost if that changes. Though not expecting it to. On another note, loved the installation of and the long warranty. Oh! The dealer was EXTRA special (except for not telling me to us HE products). Think that was a case of new employee and manager was VERY patient in explaining to me over the phone. Look forward to many years of service from this washer.
I purchased this dryer as a set with the matching washer. I'm loving them both! I didn't think I would like the lint filter being right there in the front and not removable, but the screen is so fine that it picks up a LOT of lint and is so easy to clean with one swipe of my fingers. Love it! If you're on the fence, go for it! I'm so glad I did.
