My wife does laundry like its an Olympic sport. After having our last set of Whirlpool washer and dryer not even last 4 years it was time to invest on a set that will do what it's supposed to do when you want it to with peace of mind. If you have the money spend it once and you wont have to deal with costly repairs keeping brand new subpar junk running.
We have had these machines for a couple of months and so far they have lived up to their reputations. Sure they cost a little more, but seem well worth it. Clothes are clean and they run quietly. We haven’t used all the features yet. The proof of this being a great investment will be in the long term, and if they continue to perform as they do now.
The dryer is extremely loud when it first starts up. At first, it was loud for about a minute. Now it’s several minutes. I guess I’ll have to test the warranty and service. I’ve only had it for less than 3 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, TDFR. We're glad you let us know about this noise concern. While it's common and normal for the dryer to be a little noisier at start-up, it should smooth out fairly quickly. Based on what you've mentioned, we'd like to look more into the sounds you're experiencing to see how to help. Just connect with us at 800-552-5475 when you can to get started! Our team is available M-F; 8:30 am – 4:00 pm CST.
My wife and I purchased a Speed Queen Model #TR7000WN Washer back in December 2019 and it is performing as well today as it had when we first took delivery of it (6 years and counting). Recently, our Electric Dryer (not a Speed Queen/Alliance product) failed after several problematic years so we decided to compare a variety of models from several different major appliance manufacturers. We studied features, construction robustness, customer reviews, manufacturer reputation and warranty offerings. After completing our "due diligence" research we decided that the Speed Queen Model #DR7004WE Electric Dryer was the best choice overall - hands-down! The rich cycle features and flexibility along with the steam cycle component, heavy-duty no-nonsense construction and warranty (7 years!) coupled with the fact that it is manufactured right here in the United States of America all contributed to our ultimate decision, never-mind the trouble-free experience we continue to enjoy with our aforementioned washer. If you are on the market for a reliable "install it and forget it" ultra-reliable electric dryer - BUY ONE! You won't look back and regret your decision.
Well made units. I wanted a basic dial set washer and dryer, but ended up going with the electronic models due to the additional warranty. I don't like cheap technology, and these seem to be built for longevity. We use SpeedQueen commercial models some are 20 years old used daily, they seldom require maintenance, only scheduled. which is testament to Speed Queen. Unlike cheap residential models they can be rebuilt and are worth fixing. American made and non disposable should be the goal for corporations when it comes to vehicles and appliances, foreign made garbage ends up in landfills leeching into the ground water. I'm not an environmentalist but CEOs need to be slapped awake in the US. Speed Queen needs to hold the line and keep producing quality appliances! I sincerely hope my home units are on par with the commercial models we use. I grew up using a 50 year old washer, it still runs. Upgrading an appliance should be driven by features not a disposable lifespan, we have to realize our consumer habits will end up destroying our landscapes otherwise. We only have one Earth, and our children deserve better.
This brand came highly recommended by a few friends as being very reliable and will last a long time with no repair problems. I am very happy with how fast it dries clothes and is super quiet.
