The best washing machine I have ever owned

published

I have just purchased this washing machine last week. I have been using the machine since Friday and I am extremely satisfied with it. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase one, as all the other washing machine I have owned could not even come close to a match on this one. It is wonderful to finally have well washed clothed.

Love It

published

excellent, it washes so well, and is very quiet, the whole machine is my favourite feature. I choose one with time delay because of my limited time, but I rarely have to use it, it is so fast. The Machine is very well manufactured so very solid. You only have to look at the machine to see how well it is made. I have had other brands of washing machines but never have I used one this good. I hope I never have to use any other brand ever again. I love my speed queen.CES

From a Bad experience from a Simpson Washing machine(only 3 year old) to a great Speed Queen washing

published

I thought when I did my first wash from my new speed Queen that it was broken but no it was so quite, it did not bang across my laundry floor and the clothes came out clean not like my last two washing machines (two in 6 years). I brought it from Harvey Norman in Townsville and what a nice experience I received from a wonderful lady called Dora, so full of information on the washing machine and the follow up information she and her helpful staff emailed me. Wow not used to good service. Do not let me get started about Retravision and their junk . I was most surprised when Speed Queen rang me to ask how my washing machine was.

IF FOR HOME USE ONLY PURCHASE FRONT LOADER

published

Everyone knows that speed queen is the best, yet what i feel people are unaware of is that the machine is commercial. I read this forum before purchasing and only wish that someone would of pointed out what i have found after 2 months of use. This machine is very tough on your clothes, I MEAN VERY TOUGH. All our clothing is very expensive and i may have to purchase a new machine as it is so strong for fine materials, the clothing will fall apart. The lint is a massive problem so my wife must be very careful with different loads as everything is covered in fluff. Great machine but for home/ personal use only go for the front loader.

Solid Reliable Machine

published

Great machine. Works well and is easy to operate. We had a Kleenmaid for 20 years before this one and quality seems to be the same. Machine is quiet. It is good comfort knowing that Speedqueen offer 5 years warranty on both labour & parts. We would recommend this to anyone prepared to spend the extra money.

Fantastic Speed Queen

published

I love my new Speed Queen. Washing cycles are short and the machine is so quiet. It washes well in both cold and hot water. The controls are easy to use and I love that I can set my favourites. Customer service has already been in touch with me to make sure I am happy and can use the machine. I would recommend Speed Queen to anyone.

washes very well, it is quiet, easy to use. Also something that has never happened before I had a call from Speed Queen to see if I am happy with the purchase and we will be dead before this is so I guess one of the grandkids will be getting this :-]

Fantasic makes washing a breeze

published

The clothes are cleaner even in cold water, the clothes come out tangle free,it is a lot quieter than my old machine I love the simplicity of use and the how quick it does a load. The soak feature is a real bonus just set and forget
Without a doubt the best washing machine I've had in a long time
I would recommend Speed Queen without hesitation and i have already
Did I mention the great customer service I had when I rang Speed Queen direct! Nothing is a problem

New Speed Queen

published

I moved to the Speed Queen from a front loader that use to always stop mid cycle and took forever to do a load of washing. I love the ease of getting a load of washing done quickly and the ease of the settings. The machine is quiet and before I know it the washing is ready to hang out. My only complaint would be that now my black clothing now has fluff or lint all over it where this didn't happen with the front loader, maybe it could use a lint filter. I'm very happy and hope for a long lasting lifespan.

Great Machine, very reliable, great quality, easy to use

published

We had a Kleenmaid (rebadged Speed Queen) for 39 years that used to get used every second day 2 to 3 washes. It was a fantastic machine, breaking down the purchase price over 39 years it cost us approx $33.00 per year. When it finally died we didn't even consider any other brand of washing machine. The only maintenance that was ever done to it was approx 3 years ago I replaced a water pump. I'm sure this new machine will be just as great, there are things on the new machine that are identical to our old Kleenmaid. When you have a great product why change it !!!!!!!!!! Have told a number of people about the long life of our old Kleenmaid (Speed Queen)

great machine & looks good

published

Great features quite & cleans our clothes. Also simple lines will keep it looking New for many years. All our friends love the look. We have & will recommend your product. The program is very easy to use even my husband can use it. The delivery & installation was excellent

New it wouldn't let me down.

published

I new that I had to buy the Speed Queen after having a Maytag for 15 years then a dodgy LG. Perfect wash every time. No tangles, no lint, easy on the clothes and simple dial turn wash cycles that are quick and efficient. If your looking for a quiet washing machine this isn't for your. It is a bit noisy but so many positives outweigh the one negative. Make the investment you won't regret it.

Speed Queen number 2

published

I am just saying goodbye to my old Speed Queen washing machine. It is 22 years old and the serviceman who came today is the first I have ever had to call. It has washed for a family of 6 for 22 yrs and has never missed a beat. I really feel like I got my money's worth.
I am looking forward to meeting my new Speed Queen on Tuesday.

I have accidentally pressed the High Efficiency button, how long will this soak for? And how can I get out of that setting now during this wash? It has been flashing for an hour

Hi Leah, I checked the manual because I don't personally use the high efficiency setting . All it seems to say is to expect soaking during the agitation portion of the cycle. The IN USE, RINSE and SPIN status lights will flash one after the other during the soak periods. It's been several hours since you posted the question. Did your machine eventually complete the cycle? If it's still flashing I'd contact SpeedQueen in case it has a faulty module.

Hey, sounds normal, it has multiple long soak times and some washing actions with this setting.
My machine on this setting, washes / soaks for around 90 - 100 mins. ( A light flashes when its doing the soaking thing )

AWNA62

Hi there. Can you tell me how we add extra water when we add extra clothes? I dont think it can be done. Also I found that I could not start at the beginning of cycle unless I turned off the machine at the machine then turned it off at the power then turned the dial to the beginning. Is there an easier way?

Not too sure whether this will work, but if you haven't started the cycle in wash mode, you should be able to increase wash level by leaving the lid up during water fill.
