The reviews for the 2018 Speed Queen washer aren't good, the tub & agitator move together now not separately like they use to so dirt & soap are left on clothes especially heavy loads. It's a shame because they have always been reliable & built to last, not like the disposable washers made by other companies. Love that the tub fills up completely with water...many say it's less now, a dial option is available instead of electronic...local dealer says dials will be ending, & the lid opened at anytime...now it locks after a few minutes. Speed Queen has discontinued the residential front load washer & there is speculation that the top load with follow although the company says that isn't true. The stacked washer is front loading & still available. The government nanny goats says nooooo to hot & warm water options, enough water to clean & a lid that opens anytime... it's just ridiculous & I want to see those regulations end. Water isn't wasted, it's used.

I’ll comment on my sq machines which are about 3 years old. They work fine. The washer always defaults to the more energy saving settings, which can be frustrating. It spins very hard and builds wrinkles into clothing. I assume this is so they will be drier and use less energy to dry. The Energy saving wash mode does not fill the tub for the rinse cycle, but I have never noticed that the clothes seem to have soapy residue in them. They seem rinsed clean. Other modes will do a full rinse which I use only for kitchen towels or really dirty stuff. I don’t know how this would compare with the current speed Queen’s but thought I would share anyway. I think it’s important to save water and energy so I don’t mind small inconveniences (too much.)
