Dryer works very well and has more features than my older 25 year old Kenmore did. Best new feature is the Steam option which allows us to get wrinkles out of garments.
I have had speed queens before and LOVER them. Got the newest dryer and it is LOUD. Banging every time you turn it on. It’s a known roller issue with no fix.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Speed QueenBy Margie, Customer Support, April 22, 2026
Hi, Mjb01. We're sorry the sound of your new dryer has been louder than anticipated. While we do expect some sounds during the initial start-up, this should even out fairly quickly. If you're noticing a sound that persists or is becoming louder, please be sure to let our Customer Support know at 800-552-5475 (Monday to Friday; 8:30 am – 4:00 pm Central Standard Time) so we can help.
I love my new Speed Queen commercial washer and dryer. It is quicker, quieter and gets my clothes cleaner and drier upon spinning. The only problem I have… if forgetting to put the laundry soap IN the washer before loading clothes….🥴
