Love the different functions and the quitness of this machine. It will also hold big loads good for my household of 4. The only thing i dont like is it has a lid lock and I am unable to rinse my detergent cup clean under the water.
Overall I am pleased with the Speed Queen washer. It is easy to select any wash cycle, load size, or water temperature I will ever need. I really like being able to choose the water level and having an agitator. The washer runs quietly and cleans well. I would prefer the water running with the top open while filling so I can put liquid detergent in the water.
Came scratched and with a bulge but that will be fixed with the warranty. Just a little disappointing to start out like that. Hoping it will make my 3 boys athletic clothing smell good since last low water (sometimes clothes were not fully wet) non-agitator washer smelled like mold and so did their clothes. I am hoping this washer is better than my last 2 expensive washer purchases. Have never had a Speed Queen but have heard good things and love the warranty which is almost non-existent with other manufacturers.
We bought the Speed Queen because we were tired of buying new washing machines every 4-5 years. The Speed Queen washes great when it runs. We received and error twice with it though, Ld - meaning the lid closed sensor wasn't registering that the lid was closed. Thankfully it's an easy fix, just take the front panel off and bend the metal tab down a bit so it registers properly. The metal tab is pretty weak though so I can see it being an issue in the future. Hopefully the last adjustment works better than the first one and we don't see it again.
