I'm not sure why I didn't buy a Speed Queen sooner. Over the years we've owned Maytags, Whirlpools, and several other brands, but this washing machine outperforms them all.
It doesn't have a lot of flashy features, but it's incredibly well-built, heavy-duty, and feels like it's made to last. We've owned it for about six months now, and I've been consistently impressed with its performance. It's simple to operate, cleans exceptionally well, and has plenty of capacity—you can really load it up without sacrificing cleaning results.
One of the biggest surprises has been the spin cycle. It removes so much water that our clothes dry much faster, noticeably reducing the time the dryer needs to run.
If you're looking for a durable, dependable washer that focuses on performance instead of unnecessary bells and whistles, I highly recommend Speed Queen. It's one of the best appliance purchases we've made.
I like the way it cleans! I don’t like the way I can’t rinse out the detergent up when filling. I don’t like the extra rinse on (normal/eco) to use the softener. As with the dryer, the end of cycle signal is too low on the highest setting.
We’ve owned our Speed Queen washer for about 4 months now, and it is head and shoulders above any other washer we’ve ever had. It’s extremely quiet, does an absolutely fantastic job of cleaning clothes, and appears to be a very robust machine. We love our Speed Queen!
