This was my first speed Queen purchase. I had heard only good reviews about this company. My first impression was great. From first use, I found it to be easy to use and very quiet. I also love the look of this model. It doesn’t lid lock until it fill up with the needed water to wet the clothes so you have plenty of time to add an item if need be.
My clothes are clean! I even washed a king sized comforter. Your supposed to soak it, but I didn't have time for that. It still worked. Also, I am short, but I can reach the bottom of the tub! If you know, you know.
I love shopping local when I can and Redder's Showcase in Burley Id had lots of knowledge, lots of options to compare with other brands, and can provide value. It is a pleasure doing business with them. As for the machines themselves. I have never had a Washer so stable. Very impressed. I have a filtration system on the drain (because we are on a septic system) The rinse water is so much cleaner than before. It tells me that the clothes are getting cleaner in the wash cycle. As for the dryer we are enjoying the steam refresh feature which I did not think we needed.
I was alot of loads and this washer is hands down the best! It is large on the inside, cleans well, and is so quite. I love the simplicity of the controls, I love that it is metal, and that I can depend on it.
This is the very best washer I have ever had, and I've had many over my lifetime. It is quiet, washes superbly, just the best purchase I've ever made. Thanks for making such a superior machine.
I just wanted A Speed Queen washer to replace my 19-year-old Speed Queen washer. Instead, I was forced into a technologically advanced eco-friendly machine that cannot do what I want. 1. I am forced to most often use the Heavy Duty cycle since the Normal cycle is "Eco." I want my clothes covered completely in water--ALWAYS, including the rinse! I do not want a spray rinse, I don't care about water consumption, 2. How do you add detergent first if you don't know how much water will be added with Auto Fill? 3.If I don't like the amount of water with Auto Fill, I can't make the machine add more. So, I have given up on Auto Fill. 4. Load size, sometimes medium is too small and large is too big. On my old machine, I could turn the dial halfway between medium and large. 5. From the sound of it, agitation is too slow. 6. Spin cycle is too loud. Am I old? Yes, I am. Will this machine last 19 years like my last one? I doubt it; it is too technical. But the fact is that Speed Queen washers have a better reputation than any other major company.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from Speed QueenBy Margie, Customer Support, March 17, 2026
Hi, Gam336. We appreciate hearing your feedback, but are saddened to learn you haven't been happy with the features on your new washing machine. The Normal/ECO cycle is designed to conserve water and energy to meet the required regulations, and this conservation is exclusive to this specific cycle. The Heavy Duty cycle would be what we consider the "regular" cycle. Detergent should be measured by the laundry load itself, versus the water level, and we recommend using 1-2 tablespoons of HE detergent for your average to full-sized load. The Auto-Fill load size option is intended to give the right amount of water for the best wash results, especially if there is a load of laundry that falls between medium and large. We hope some of this information can be helpful, but please let us know if there are any questions or concerns. Our Customer Support team is here to help at 800-552-5475 (Monday to Friday; 8:30 am – 4:00 pm Central Standard Time).
