Takes less time to do a load of laundry & gets everything very clean with using less detergent. Very quiet, even the spin out are exceptionally quiet. Very satisfied with how it works.
Washer cost a lot more than other washers we looked at. The washer immediately upon use leaked water on the floor. We had a Speed Queen Warranty Tech visit and he noted that leak came from the soap dispenser. He said Speed Queen had had that problem for years …. Design Flaw. Suggested we not use the soap dispenser but put soap directly in the washer on the clothes. He then left!!! What a joke!

Oh no, Frb67. This doesn't sound like what we'd recommend, especially if you've noticed any leaks! You should be able to use every feature or function of the appliance. If water came from the dispenser area during the cycle, it may be related to higher water pressure. Luckily, flow restrictors are available to help with these types of installations. Just reconnect with us when you can so we can help further!
I’m so happy with this purchase! There are so many different settings for laundering different fabrics and the machine stays set to my previous choice, making it easy for the consumer. There are 4 different options for water temperature, spin cycle, and soil level, besides many other options. I highly recommend this brand and model.
I have only had the machine for about one month but the dispenser drawer has leaked soap, suds, and water several times down the front of my washer and onto my floor. I cannot link it to any particular cycle, water temperature or product in the dispenser. If this issue cannot be resolved, I am returning the machine. It is too expensive to tolerate this design flaw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! Thank you for letting us know what's been happening, RQSDoc. This certainly isn't the norm, but we're confident there should be a simple solution!

Being in the appliance repair business for over 35 years, I knew of the quality and durability prior to purchasing this new set.I recommend nothing but Speed Queen machines to all of my customers. The initial cost can be intimidating, but you will not find a more solid, better built machine out there with any manufacturer. Speed Queen is also confident in their product, that they stand behind it for between 3 & 7 years parts and labor depending on model. My only complaint would be I wish the remind chime were louder and more persistent. This machine runs so quietly, we sometimes forget we had a load of clothes in it.
So far I'm loving my washer! I've tried different wash cycles and they all are great! Hopefully I have the same good luck as I've had the last 24 years with my Maytag Neptune!
