Thought I would not like going back to a top loader but was tired of problems with front loaders. Boy, am I surprised that I LOVE it. No moldy smell, no open door, no HE detergent required so I can use my specialty soaps, room to hang clothes above without the stand, have tiny laundry room & it visually seems roomier
I have owned various brands throughout my 49+ plus years of marriage. This is my first Speed Queen and I couldn't be happier! My clothes have never been cleaner! And I am proud that it is AMERICAN MADE--what a plus to support American workers during this difficult time in our country! I have previously owned front load washers and they were a huge disappointment. In spite of the fact that they said they would not develop mildew and mold in the door seals, I was constantly drying the seals, cleaning the seals, using washing machine cleaners, leaving the door ajar (not a good look!), etc. and the mildew was still an issue--with main floor laundry room (I can't imagine what people must endure when machines are located in basements). Enough about that! This Speed Queen does a FANTASTIC job washing clothes! Whether a small, medium, or large load, it is thorough and my clothes are cleaner than ever before! Thank you for a great product Speed Queen!!!
So far, our speed queen is our favorite washing machine we’ve owned. It’s simple, but has the right amount of helpful features and actually CLEANS our clothes. I appreciate the delay start feature and the shorter wash times!
After years of having a front loader, I wanted a washer that was virtually free of vibration, a moldy stink, the roar of cycling water, and a complicated array of controls that defied selection. While I had reservations about reaching down to empty a top-load tub and moving from a 5 cubic ft front-load to the Speed Queen's smaller tub, the TR7003 has exceeded every performance goal I have. While front-load looks easy, it's more difficult for short statured folks to pull out something at the back. This tub is just at the right height. While the smaller tub looks small on paper, in actual wash-load usage it seems to handle more in weight and density with a lot less fuss. I don't have to break my loads up the way I did before. The simpler layout of the controls on the TR7003 enable me to use more of what the machine can do appropriate for the fabric and loads I have. Overall, the TR7003 has a much more pragmatic design with terrific quiet and speed.
Excellent washing machine! Easy to use and 7 year warrantee! You can't beat it! Our Samsung front loader lasted only 8 years. They say this one is built to last 20+ years! Towels feel softer, laundry is cleaned better and water covers the clothes in the tub with auto fill, though still with regulated water consumption. Never liked the front loaders that used very little water and didn't clean clothes very well.
I bought a top loading Speed Queen washer for two reasons. Of the reviews I read it was rated best in reliability. The second reason was it has an agitator which so many of the newer washers do not. Again, I read a review on washers with and without agitators. It was stated that an agitator is best for dirty clothes while those without an agitator are all right for lightly soiled clothing.
My washer allows me to pause it to check on water level and suds level. These are two features I value greatly. If I don't like the water setting that I selected, I can stop the washer and start all over without fear of overfilling it. It also tells me how much time it will take to complete each load.
I have peace of mind because I know I bought a quality product. I am so glad I researched other washers because I believe in my heart that I selected the best washer on the market.
Very satisfied with how easy it is to program the wash; many cycle choices and water level choices. does a great job cleaning the laundry and is very quiet.
I hadn't purchased a new washer/dryer set for 35+ years so was looking for a high quality set. I started looking at the "top rated" brands, however upon reading the reviews decided to continue looking. The top brands reviews were consistent about consumers regretting their purchases. Common complaints were that clothes weren't clean, not enough water was used, no control over water usage, etc. A family member suggested I look at Speed Queen so I contacted a local retailer and became convinced this was the set for us
The washer is efficient, there are enough options, quiet and clothes come out clean. The spin cycle truly spins out a great deal of the water so that drying time is reduced. Being able to control water level, water temperature, etc. is what I was looking for
The set is straight forward and I believe is built to last. The fact that it's made in the USA is another big plus for me. If you are only looking for a fancy design or a brand with multiple color options this may not be for you! If you want a dependable and efficient washer this is the one
My only recommendation is I wish the alarm was louder, as my set is away from our living area
