I replaced my 30+ year old M____g dry with a Speed Queen because of it's reputation. My old dryers end of cycle alert was a loud buzzer that can by heard anywhere in the house. The Speed Queen's alert is so quite that you have to be standing near it to be able to hear it. This is very disappointing and a poor design. If I new about this ahead of time, I might of purchased a different one.
This has to be one of the best products I have acquired!! I been telling everyone I know to purchase the set, I convinced some people,! They save energy and water and of course my time!! They are fast and reliable!! I love them very much and so does my family!! Thank you for making this washer and dryer for people who doesn’t need technology just a good set to get the job done in one day!!
Dryer is great, machines are definitely commercial grade as they are a little louder than previous HE model I had but do an excellent job leaving laundry fresh and clean.
I waited years to purchase a new washer and dryer and my research said Speed Queen was the best. They were expensive but I thought they would be worth the investment. The washer is great. The dryer is a total lemon. When I first used it in August, it was so loud and would revive up like a jet engine. I've had two service calls on it and thought it was fixed. Tech said lots of loose parts which he tried to tightened up. It's better but now there is a squeaking noise. I truly believe I have been delivered a defective dryer. What a disappointment!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
