Review from Consumer Reports: • Speed Queen T47 Washer...
People like you are what got them to bring back the older model thank you
A trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Christian Oliver Yup, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
@Christian Oliver Yea, I have been using flixzone} for since december myself =)
I’m just watching this today, July 2022.
I have read about what you just said. Speed Queen brought back the older model.
I have never on the speed queen but the washer that I have now that I bought brand new years back now but not 15 years ago anyway the whole box is rusted out. I’ve never seen a washer do such a thing in my life. Where you put the soap, bleach and fabric softener are so rusted out the compartments have fallen in!
I saw someone’s video about how to speed queen is the best because they make so many of the washer and dryers that are in laundromats and they have stood the test of time.
Now I’ll have to just be sure I get the correct model whenever I go to get one!
And Speed Queen screwed Eugene at Lorain Appliance over after he helped customers out. I currently have a SQ, but after they handled their our failure with lies, screwing customers over, and any dealer that warned customers....that's not a company that I want to buy again. The commercial model made by Maytag would be the pick to me, plus it gets a better wash quality than even the good older model SQ.
Just an FYI for everyone watching the "2018 model" is the Speed Queen TR7 (model AWNE9RSN115TW01). I was actually going to do this exact same video myself, glad to see this, and it was actually just recommended to me by the TH-cam algorithm. For those looking I would recommend the Speed Queen TC5 "Classic Queen" for excellent cleaning performance, as it is very similar to the old 2017 model
Because of this video, I just swapped from tr5 to tc5 before scheduling my delivery. Thanks for the comparison!!
How do you like the TC5? I just purchased that one and it will be delivered next week.
@@shannonr177 so far so good. No issues at all. Clothes come out clean and I love the simplicity of the controls.
I was recommended by the delivery guy to clean out the dryer vent that runs through the wall of the house because if it’s clogged up with lint and damages your dryer by over heating, warranty won’t cover the dryer.
The test that changed EVERYTHING! SQ didn't see this coming. Thankfully we all got a good education including Speed Queen
I purchased speed queen washer and dryer and they're amazing. The best I've ever had
Well done. I'm sure the viewers appreciate the effort you put into your videos, especially this one and the research you did. I hope this video gets out as much as possible to consumers, and most importantly to the engineers and designers at SQ. Thanks again for all your hard work. You are doing a great service to people who are looking for honest opinions from real genuine retailers like yourself on they can invest their hard earned cash when it comes to purchasing home appliances.
He was one of the people that saved my fanny from a 2018....and I cant thank him enough for pre warning me so I could look into it and I and the mechy guy in my life came to the same conclusion...2017 or bust...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. You're helping out a ton of people
Researching these machines here and am glad for this honest demonstration. I do like what I see with the action inside the tub as it's hard to tell what's going on when you go to a store to shop. I will say that if I had a towel stained with ketchup, I would probably treat it separately before putting it in my laundry with something stronger than a tide pod. It's good that nothing bled over to the rest of the laundry.
I could tell the agitator in the 2017 was much more aggressive. I have a model like the 2017 (I've had mine for 7 years or so and bought it used) and I absolutely love mine. It's the best washing machine I have ever owned.
Thank goodness they are still making the classic washer!
We purchased the speed queen TR7 and LOVE it. It still cleans better than any other machine out there. The key is using the machine properly - the water flow action does a great job. I've put heavily soiled cottons from yard work, dog bed and liners, comforters, sheets, etc... all came out beautifully. I used the pre-wash and soak for the dog bed and liner and my yard work clothing which was covered with Georgia clay and ground in dirt. The only time I needed to rewash was when we overloaded the machine with clothing and the water flow was restricted.
Clothes come out very clean with less damage because the water is moving through instead of dragging the clothes around. The SQ engineers and scientists know what they're doing.
First, I want to thank you so much for all your honesty! You rock! I watched Kirk's videos and it's obvious that there's a difference between your machine and his. What I believe happened ( and I could be totally wrong on this) is Speed Queen used your unbiased honest reviews of their machine, blacklisted you for it, and then quickly scrambled to tweak the machine so it wasn't as horrible. That's probably why there was such a delay for most dealers to receive the new units. With that said, I'm still sooooo happy that I bought my 2017 based on your reviews because even with all the tweaking that Speed Queen did, I still believe the 2018 is an inferior machine as compared to their previous models! Faster swishing with hardly any rollover isn't going to clean dirty soiled clothing...Now If Speed Queen was an honest upstanding company then they would apologize to you, thank you for testing their machine, refund the money that you paid for your machine, and reinstate you. I would respect them as a company for admitting they were wrong in what they did to you!
they have made multiple changes to the TR models to improve cleaning efficiency of the "agitub." the 2020 models (which now have different numbering i.e. TR7003 instead of the TR7000 of the older models) have longer wash and rinse cycles. This makes sense because they are basically functioning as HE washers with their gentler washing motion which means 1 hour+ cycles for dirty clothes.
We were able to put men on the moon 50 years ago and cannot come up with functional washers.
supremely disappointing.
Singsong Cindy that part able to put men on the moon LoL
" Faster swishing with hardly any rollover isn't going to clean dirty soiled clothing"
But BOTH of those towels were ruined whether one was cleaner than the other or not, if they were a white cocktail dress or men's white dress shirts you'd have to throw both of them in the garbage
@@HobbyOrganist You would probably need to wash them a couple of times with bleach.
KIM Rosabal: This machine works best when using the Auto-Fill feature and extra detergent and chlorine bleach for all my whites.
Awesome comparison!! Thank you for all your time and effort into helping consumers make an informed decision!
Please Speed Queen, bring the old models back.
They did, and it works a lot better than any machine I've had before (Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, GE, LG).
The AWN632SP116TW01, product code TC5000WN, has a knob-type electronic control, but all the major workings are carried over.
Eugene's review indicates that the less expensive Maytag "COMMERCIAL" does better in the ketchup test, but how many ax-murderer/slasher movies does the average buyer make? For me, the decision came down to, how many Maytag coin laundries do I see as opposed to how many using Alliance Laundry Systems (Speed Queen, Huebsch, IPSO) machines?
At $1140 delivered and installed, including tax, I expect the SQ to be the last washer I'll ever need to buy.
they did
Love mine.
@@5610winston .. what is your actual experiecnce with the machine ?
And they're the best
Thank you for providing an equal and unbiased comparison!
Thanks for the video. I'm an appliance contractor in MD, and my distributor had a 2017 model returned by a customer who refused it because it had a small dent in the left rear corner. He is selling it to me for an unbelievable discount! Glad I saw this video so I could see the comparison, and make an informed decision.
who is your distributor?
you are absolutly right, i have a 2017 Speed Queen with no electronics buttons and I just love it. Thanks for your video. When I bought mine i saw the one with all the electronics buttons etc etc and I told myself...No...not for me. So I took the old model. Thank God i did.
It’s absolutely absurd how different these results are. There shouldn’t be such a drop in quality in a one year span.
I wouldn't say a drop in quality, it's a different design. Most people don't need to clean 2 ounces of ketchup off their clothes. The new design is better for making clothes last longer.
One design is for very heavy duty cleaning and the other is more gentle.
Detergent also matters.
Thank you for such a very well thought out test. You have proved that the 2018 does not clean 5% better than the previous design in 2017. If anything it is about 10% less cleaning for hard dirty wash with tough stains.
So glad I bought the older model last week before they're all gone!!
I did the same thing. Went into the local dealer, saw the new ones and loved the new look, but the dealer nudged me to the 17's. Glad he did. :)
So glad for all the people that got the memo and were able to make their move...sorry for the others that will have found out too late...I know what it is like to live with a washer that doesn't do the job you want and you hate..
Thank you for this video. I absolutely love SpeedQueen and now I know which one not to buy. My last Speedqueen lasted 18 years with no service call. I gave it away when I moved
Thank you so much for this! This was a true eye opener ! People needed too see this . Great work.
Thanks for doing this Eugene. I'm not in the slightest bit surprised by the results.
We just got the latest version of the tr5 and it is absolutely the best washing machine my wife and I have owned in our 25 years of marriage. We only use normal mode for delicates. The permanent press and heavy duty modes absolutely clean. I’m a mechanic so we know dirty.
Good to know! I’m thinking of buying a Speed Queen TR5003 set and was honestly just searching for some happy owners like you. Are you able to wash most of your clothes and bedding in the machine? guessing you go to laundromat with large blankets and comforters?, rugs, ?)
How did you decide between the different models Speed Queen offers?
@@janstafford1365 my wife washes everything in it even our comforter. She does take them to the cleaners when she switches from summer to winter ect. I assume she does that so they are packed nicely for storage.
@@janstafford1365
I have the companion dryer. Bad out of the box from day of installation. Signal works erratically. Toggle switch to turn off extended tumble does not work at all. The dryer runs for 30 minutes for no reason after each load. Really spins the electric meter.
One authorized repair shop was here twice. They said there is nothing more they can do. Advised me to contact Alliance Laundry for second opinion to facilitate replacement.
SQ assigned to to another authorized repair shop. They declined to accept the ticket. Upper lever support told me to call a dealer I refuse to do business with because of questionable business ethics.
Now I was told to find a non- authorized repair shop. Speed Queen will call the shots. I pay the repair center. SQ will supply parts. I can be reimbursed up to $250 for the labor. That would not pay for gas for a repair tech to make two trips as required by SQ.
I am in Eugene's repair area but would not add insult to injury so I did not call him..
I'm up a creek with a $1300 dryer installed 10/11/2022. Bad out of the box.
Run fast run far on the dryer. I cancelled the SQ washer. Don't need another tail light warranty and on a $1400 washer.
Great video. I keep hoping that speed queen would understand that we're not saying they are making pieces of crap, and that we're just saying that they had the gold standard...they were THE BEST, and they've made a big mistake with this 2018 that has made them not the best anymore. We all make mistakes....some we can take back, some we can't. This is a mistake that can be corrected. That's all we want...that's all.
Ughhh and eating anything with ketchup is not a thing for me for awhile LOL.....that was yucky...
I have had absolutely no issues with getting my cloths clean with the new design. I use the manual setting with the water filling the drum. I had a 2017 model before my house burnt down in the Camp Fire. I had to buy the 2019 model with my new home. I wear a lot of technical cloths made of polyester that holds smell. The 2019 model actually got the smell out completely. The 2017 didn’t. My stains all come out even my white shop towels I use to detail my car. I will say I do use the warm wash warm rinse selection. I also had a 2014 model I used when I wore uniforms and it was harsher on my uniforms but did get them really clean.
Only the mid model was changed back. The upper model is still the same. As long as you don’t pack the cloths in there it cleans fine
I just bought a 2018 Speed Queen washer and dryer. Both work so much better than the top of the line front load, Kenmore, washer and dryer that we replaced. I'll bet it works better than any front load you can buy, because they just don't use enough water to get the clothes clean. My Kenmore dryer wouldn't dry clothes quickly. The Speed Queen does great. Both washer and dryer are much faster than the Kenmores. I struggled with this decision to buy the Speed Queen because of this video. My dealer agreed to guarantee my satisfaction or give my money back. He was confident enough with the performance that he did this. I am very pleased with our Speed Queen washer and dryer, and would recommend both.
There is no way a top load washer can out perform a front load.
MrFluffykat this is true front loaders don't perform in in the first place !!
So from what I understand SQ did bring the old style washer back, known as the classic clean TC5. Thanks for the comparison
Wow, GREAT comparison! Thanks so much. Was just about ot buy new. Sure hope I can find the old models!
I have a new 2019 speed queen and it does great, I had very very dirty towels and it cleaned them way better then my old whirlpool.
Gets ground-in Georgia red soil out of my work jeans, and runs a load in less than a half-hour, add ten minutes for an extra rinse.
We bought the TR007 in 2022 and it leaves our kids clothes dirtier. The two-week return period had passed by the time I’d realized it was the machine, not the cycles, soap, loads, etc. Warranties are useless on machines that don’t wash. They spin it and say the machines are “gentle.” I hope someone puts a class action together and sues them. They are swindling people trading off their good name, but that won’t last too much longer.
How is your TR7- anything help? Try using Persil maybe? Should I get the TC5 instead in your opinion? Thanks for sharing your experience.
My first thought when watching this is that
1: there was way too much water in the first one and the towels were barely touching each other and didn’t have as much scrubbing power
2: the soap was so diluted in all that water
3: the soap was less diluted on the 2017 with less water and more scrubbing action
The water level was only slightly lower. It was not enough to make a difference..
Agreed. This is why the TR7 manual specifically recommends always using the auto-fill option. This was a bad test.
And really, both towels are still tremendously stained. If I had a white shirt with ketchup on it and it came out of the washer like that "cleaner" 2017 towel did, I'd still call it dirty and not wear the shirt. Each washer should be setup properly, hot water, bleach, etc. Then show the results. Otherwise it's not actually a fair comparison.
Thank you for for this video.
Couple of things, first I personally would pretreat towels with shout or spray & wash. Next use Iiquid tide higher dose, pods don’t work well on stains due to the fact they have to break down first. I use hot water for towels as it cleans them better.
Yeah, I would hose, bleach and extra soap, two cycles. If it cleans without that extra effort, you are blessed!
Thank you for your report. I was considering purchasing this machine for my 4 units. I won't after reading your report and Consumers Report. I will go for the Maytag CR demonstrated to be superior. Thank you so much!
How is your Maytag working out for you? I am considering the Commercial one. Not a fan of the plastic outer tub though.
BUT wasn't the 2018 a one year hiccup where Speed Queen tried to make a water efficient machine and they basically admitted it was a screw up and in 2019 they went back to doing the pre 2018 models that had the old high quality results?
Nope, they still have the TR machines. They did, however, release the classic which is the one you speak of.
The SQ TC5003WN is the one to get. They did away with any attempts at an HE machine and just made a solid machine that washes clothes (and has no lid lock).
They admitted to nothing. Still claimed it was better. Didn't care about screwing over customers. Attempted to strong arm Eugene (the maker of this video) who was a dealer of theirs. And since he pointed their failure, they took away his right to sell their products, screwing him and his family over. Other independent stores selling this washer that year, I went to asking them about possible issues with wash quality (long after it was a known issue) and they bold face lied to me telling me that the wash was fantastic with this model. Speed Queen removed bad reviews of the washer on their website. Even deleted bad comments on their Facebook promotions too. They re made the older models thanks in large part to people like Eugene.
@@bigdw9545 just bought one when my 4 year old matag bmew the motherboard. Not putting $450 into another crap machine. Should have bought the SQ years ago. I love doing a load in 28 minutes and actually having clean untangled clothes! And the no lid lock crap!
Great Video! I think that across the board washers have declined in performance and certainly in quality! SQ needs to go back to the 2017 mechanism and software, that's pretty obvious! Hopefully their longevity is still there...
Two observations:
1. If you stained both towels at the same time, the 2nd would have had additional 2hr (or however long it took to complete your wash) for stain to set in. The 2nd set was the 2017 so still surprising results.
2. I think possibly more of a factor is the amount of water the machine uses. The less water in this scenario appears to be what caused the results. For two reasons i can see. Less water created more interaction of the material themselves and the detergent pod would be more concentrated in less water.
Speed Queen needed to hire Eugene to be the consultant at their Department of Product Development, instead of snarling at Eugene for exposing their failure of 2018 re-designing of the product.
FYI Speed Queen FL washers *do not* contain internal water heaters. These completely reply on the houses hot water heater, which will *NEVER* be able to supply 120 F wash water because of the typical distance from the washer. This corner cutting essentially ensures every wash you do will be lukewarm at best. I will never buy from a brand that cuts corners like that.
You are wrong! I have a Rinnai on demand propane water heater and it delivers 120 degree water to my washer and everywhere else on two floors EVERY TIME. No issues and cost is about $60 annually to run it and I use a lot of hot water. Invest in good equipment and maintain it if you want performance.
thanks for this ! such a mad scientist, saving peoples money and time
Superb demonstration!
If the water level was lower on the second washer then the Detergent was stronger so that might be why it cleaned better. One tide pod probably wasn’t enough for a full load.
I thought this, too. The one with less water had suds.
it was NOT ENOUGH! i used the oxiclean pods and on the packaging it suggests to use 2 pods for a full load, or just 1 for a small load
I work on speed queens for a living As im finding the residential models have different setups different drive trains and every thing. The transmissions may have something to do with it.
Great video!!! I appreciate your content!
Well, I have to wash my clothes at the shared laundry room of my mobile home park and the management got new washers/dryers last year , and they are Speed Queen /commercial use.
I hate the washers ! And that is an understatement. First of all, there are settings for normal, and normal but energy saving. Though we all use the normal/normal settings, the washers treat it as though it is the energy savings......less water /shorter cycles, perhaps (?) And the spin dry cycle leaves the clothes so wrinkled........OMG ...I can't think of a word to even describe what the clothes look and feel like after the spin cycle......but the last complaint I will mention, I think has something to do with why they are actually TOO dry.. And that complaint is: there is no true rinse cycle ...........instead, what happens is, after the wash cycle, it drains the tub, then goes into it's version of "rinse cycle" which is really just water spritzing onto clothes , smashed up against the circumference of bottom of washer tub . In other words, the "rinse" never fills the tub at all.
So how does the soap and dirty water get removed properly ??? Good question, and I would love an answer for that.
I can't complain to whoever sold them as they are not mine............I am merely stuck using them. I found out about the lack of rinsing when I attempted to use my liquid fabric softener.
There is no phase of machine that allows for that.
Kinda wanted to see you wash one of the not so clean towels from the 2018 in the 2017 to see if it would have gotten it cleaner
Great informational video, i haven't done enough research to see that there is a difference in production years. Now, to try and get my hands on a 2017 model.
Here's a little tidbit. Consumer reports just rated the 2018 speed queen for stain removal, and it got a "poor". Keep in mind that the 2017 model got a "very good" in washing performance.
And it got "fair" on heavy duty. So did the fisher and paykel agitator top loader. Funny how nobody says shit about that machine. In fact the top rated agitator top loader only gets an average score for cleaning. New ge's didn't do well eather. Abd they got very poor for gentleness so you get not that clean clothes AND torn apart with a bunch of noise unreliably. Yet they bash speed queen. SMH
Speed queens heavy duty max soil is 50 min, fisher paykel is 55 min, ge is a whopping 70
@@mikemiller5839 I hated the fisher and packed, never got clothes clean always a residue on clothes.
consumer reports redid the TR machine test after the 2019 revision speed queen made to the TR machines. Cleaning increased to "good."
Speed Queen has made another revision for 2020 for the TR models. I would love to see Eugene do the ketchup test with the 2020 model to see if cleaning has improved much with these changes.
Eugene, please? TR7003 (or the 3 or 5) against the 2017. please?
@@singsongcindy8865 I have changed my option significantly since this comment. I got to try the TR5 myself (the 2018 "poor" one) and I came out very pleasantly surprised with performance. It took out a fairly sizeable mud stain.
I'm eager to try the new 2019 revision. The 2020 revision doesn't appear to have changed in terms of wash action.
Oh my! I have a 2017 speed queen and absolutely love it! Best machine I have ever had being I have 3 kids and live in the country. Why would they change something that works?
We just got one from my wife's grand mother. This thing us awesome.
Government regulations made them change apparently. Thank your Democrats.
@John Sluder and we hate fascists and thieving Republicans
panama2468 oh hello Marxist. KISS off.
Jack Off wTH
I never understand why a manufacturer changes a good product to something subpar. Frustrating. What is the best cleaning machine?
follow the money
I work construction and use a 2018 Speedqueen. Works brilliantly! Much better than the Maytag and GE that preceded it. I can't imagine the 2017 model being any better. Ketchup is not generally an issue for me, but oil , grease, dust, grime , blood, sweat and occasional tears are everyday features of my life. 2018 model deals with them all. The interface is my favorite thing about it though. It is so logical and straight forward.
What specific model do you use?
The 2017 looks more aggressive. Also, looks like a few more gallons of water in the 2018 which make the detergent more diluted. For normal, average soils I'd rather have a more gentile wash and more water for big loads and large items like comforters. That is the most normal scenario in the average home. Jobs like your ketchup stain would typically be soaked first. Cool video. Thanks.
NEVER buy a washer without an agitator. NEVER.
Why? LG top loaders wash really well.
I'm still waiting for the test but really, I would use a hose first, sort of like rinsing dishes before loading them.
I wish I saw this before we bought our 2018 Speed Queen washer. I had no idea it would be so different than previous years. We are in the process of trying to return it now because it performs so miserably. We're having to handwash stuff before or after every single load, and it's simple non-oily food crumbs or outdoor soil from toddlers doing their thing. The dealer came and checked and upgraded the circuit board to the latest version 6 and it's made no difference. It is unacceptable for such an expensive washing machine.
2019 version is okay now. Like 2017 version.
@@f.l.1962 The TR 2019 and beyond cleans like the old TC's of 2017and before? I don't think so.
I have a 2016 Speed Queen washer and dryer they seem to work as well as my 35 year old Maytags did. I hope to get the same service out of these
My 2016 ruins my towel edges. The agitator beats the heck out of clothes even with high water and not much in the load. And now I have a crooked spin basket that I need to have fixed. When I researched my washer before buying, youtube channels were deleting the bad comments. I am glad this channel made an honest video. Really disappointed speed queen wasn't more honest.
Great job, thank you!
I believe Speed Queen needs to return to the drawing board regarding these 2018 machines. I suspect sales will decline. I will not buy one.
Vander Fields so what if salsa dropped off they won't sell to the public anymore not w big deal at all to Alliance!!
I for one will definitely not be buying a 2018 SQ.
Bitches sayin they ain't gonna buy one....lmao....puhlease...ya'll ain't in the market anyway! Talkin to talk. #shhhhhhhh
@@JustinHarrington57 IKR. These TROLLS in the youtube comments can't even afford an avatar theres no way there dropping $1,500 on a washer. LOL
The comparison was two totally different washer styles. The first was in.a TR series (tub moves, agitator does not) , the second was in the TC (tub doesn't move, agitator does) with and old style agitator.
For us, a retired couple who doesn't have overly dirty clothes and no towels with catsup rubbed into it, the TR would be fine - not too hard on the clothes. If we were still working, I'd definitely go with the TC series. Actually, even in 24, SQ still makes the TC model.
I wish you would of tried it with cold water only. I use cold water on all stains. Warm water seems to help set it in.
I purchased a 2018 TR5 Speed Queen last week and my clothes do not get clean at all and this video backs up what i thought. I can’t wait until tomorrow morning to take it back to appliance store i got it from, SQ should be ashamed of themselves for putting out such a poorly built product!!!

@@niknat74 Do it on me hun.
The TC5 of 2023 (TC5003WN) uses the OLD agitation and washing technology from pre-2018 which will get the clothes super clean but is harder on clothes.
@yorkiepit
Yep, I was considering it but people were complaining that the final spin was only 800rpm and leaves clothes very damp, adding to dry time. Additionally some people are having problems with over sudding during draining and foaming out the drain hose. The company saids to reduce the amount of detergent used or add a little fabric softener or vinegar.🤷♂️ The soggy clothes and the company's long repairs times worries me about SQ.😢
Well I think a stain like that would need a strain remover on it first! With any machine! But machine looks great!
Warning!!!! do not rub ketchup into your clothing as you see in this video the stains will not come out!
Also, whites must be pre-treated, soaked, and bleached. I hate bleach, which is why I don't buy whites.
They would if we had good enough soap and washer equipment. Too bad the old 1950s Tide soap polluted the water so badly, I'd be curious how well it would do.

You should treat stains with Dawn ultra dishwashing liquid.
Kinda hard to clean anything with cold water
@@billylee2312 big stains like this yes, cold isn't going to help. All my t-shirt & hoodies or any of my daughter's leggings I don't want shrinking goes on cold & I've never had a problem with getting clothes cleaned.
If you want mold in your machine. It's too sticky. Persil and not a lot. No fabric softener either.
The old washer (2017) was definitely the better with this test.
How did you manage to trick the door lock? I just bought the 2018 since everything else on the market doesn't add any water to the tub, I wanted to see it in action. How did you over-ride the closed door mechanism? Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the video. I was in the market for a Speed Queen top load but I am going with a Maytag Commercial top load after watching your reviews. I wish you were in PA so I could buy from you.
Curious if you got the Maytag Commercial Washing machine & how has it been?
@@Mandy_39 Yes. We did get it and we’re very happy with it. It has been slightly more than two years and it has been reliable so far. There’s nothing fancy about the washer but it does a good job of cleaning using enough water.
@@pyungie sweet, thanks! Yeah I could care less about fancy! Asthetics do matter a little but with washing machines less is more! All that LED crap & 50 different sensors, Wi-Fi this & that will go out eventually & that's just more issues to deal with! I just want it to clean my clothes & continue to clean them lol!
I don't think this was fair though. I don't think any washer would've worked that out. One small pod in all the water dilutes its effectiveness. Also in reality, you would pre wash that towel or use a pre treatment spray and even possibly some bleach in the washer.
Glad you've posted this as I was going to buy a new speed queen but won't now !
Are you transgender?
I replaced my broken Speed Queen from around 2004 with a GE top load with dual action agitator last week. The GE has a deep fill button and a deep rinse option.
So it uses plenty of water to properly clean clothes when desired. And it has a much bigger tub than a Speed Queen and I can wash my comforter in it unlike the Speed Queen.
GE model GTW460ASJWW
Good luck with that machine lasting you very long though
Lol I can fit my king size comforter easy in my SQ
Looks like straight up fair test,would like to hear your opinion what has changed and why the big difference?
Both of our SQ units are about 4 years old. Both the washer and dryer SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK when running and no one seems to have a fix for it. One repair guy told us it was "normal."
Also, the units are now powder painted, rather than using better porcelain paint. The inside of the washer lid and the are surrounding the tub have already yellowed.
Guess we'll go back to Maytag next time.
For the number of items placed in the washer, the water level was set to be entirely too high. Overfilling the washer reduces friction that gives textiles the additional scrubbing power to get clean. You’re aren’t alone in having issues with this washer by any means, but this is a common mistake made with top-loading washers in general.
He clearly points out that this is the best case scenario for this specific horrible wash quality washing machine. He's got other videos showing it loaded right, the way you say it should be, and the results would much worse...if you can even imagine that.
I like mine... just bought it... no issues at all... my clothes are clean and smell fresh...🤷🏼♀️
A Denise, I’m down
Mine is probably the 2017. I never have huge stains for starters but i normally add a bit of bleach to my white things. Ive never had anything not come clean. My speed queen is a top loader. Im more than satisfied with it and ever better i know it will be my washer for years to come. 15 years at least. For my family of two.
Which one was the 2017 and which one was the 2018?
Hope you didn't wash the towels in warm or hot water. Everyone should know that hot/warm water 'sets' stains. With severe stains, you should soak in cold water and then wash! Doesn't matter what type washing machine you have.
I dont know, most people I know pretreat stains. I never seen someone just throw it in with soap and think its going to come clean?? (shaking my head) people pretreat for armpit stains, blood stains, grease stains, etc. I know you just want to show the "difference" but Speed Queen makes incredible washers & dryers. Plus this is an old video.
Thanks for the offer! However a small appliance center about 30 min from my house had three AWN432SP models in stock and I grabbed one on Friday.
I appreciate your time and effort. If I cant find a speed queen 2017 model what would you suggest as the next best washer. I've used front loaders for almost 10 years and HATE them! Thank you in advance for your advice, I will share your channel with all of my friends!!
Whirlpool direct drive. Best bet for sure!

@@ysesq My Maytag lasted for 9 years and started making a loud noise during the spin....repairman said it would be over $700 to fix it. Never getting a Maytag again!
Can you do the ketchup test with other washers you market when you have time. I am most interested in the test on the new Maytag Commercial Washer!
That would have been fine...
I bought a speed Queen washer with agitator in 2019. I wash my face with white wash cloths and get mascara on them. When I washed my white wash cloths they had mascara stains because it did not wash them clean. This year 2020 I bought a GE stack washer and dryer. When I washed my first load of white wash cloths it took the mascara stains out and they were even whiter.
Just curious, why did you buy a new set less than two years apart? Speed Queens are so expensive, I can't imagine dropping it so quickly. I came across this video after a repairman's recommendation today for a Speed Queen but obviously it's 2021 now, not 2017/2018 so I'm just starting my research. (I have a 22 y.o. Kenmore)
AMAZING work! Thanks so much!! 🤝🤝
That is interesting that the basket it turning with the agitator action, since the SQ should brake the basket during agitation.
I am so glad that I got a 2017 9 series Speed Queen last December. I sold my 2014/15 Whirlpool Cabrio to my brother and was sad to do it. I really enjoyed my Cabrio but did not need a 5.3 cubic foot tub for a family of 3. It took a lot of trial and error to finally get it right with the Cabrio. My laundry, that is! Lol! I'm really enjoying my 9 series though.
NO sale for a 2018 SQ. However, there should have been a hot water wash.
Michael Gegzno Hot water can stain permanently on a ketchup stain
Warm water and bleach would probably do the trick.
My grandmother would go back and forth with white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Do the final wash in hot water and bleach.
yep, I honestly would have done warm water sprayed it with some shout and thrown some bleach in to get the stain out and am willing to bet even in the 2018 speed queen that stain would have come out under those circumstances, but the point of this video is to test the performance of the washer not cleaning aids or detergent, now in my personal opinion these really aren't much better then what you can buy in the store which was the whole point of buying a speed queen
Jon Homrich that’s an awful hassle to remove the stain. A cold fill machine with a heater and powder would’ve done the job no problem
For stain removal use oxy clean, and seriously hot water.
Did you do the 2018 wash and then the 2017 wash afterward? If so, the 2017 ketchup stain had a longer setting time.
Could you redo with autofill? I'm interested in whether having less water with more concentrated detergent would do better? Tomato stains one white, forget it anyway. Will take a lot of pretreating and extra bleaches anyway to make a real dent.
You are EXACTLY correct hyperlexis. The same settings shouldn't be used on two different engineering designs. When both models are used correctly, the 2018 outperforms the older models.
I think I heard you say it had the auto sense which typically uses less water which actually rubs the fabrics together and agitating it more to get stains out. Did you do another test in the auto sensing versus deep water wash?
Gioia Bonilla I did this test several times on a variety of cycles including lower water settings, basically the same results
How do you able to get that washer running even though the lid is open?
Great review. I love my 2017.
I think because the old one used less water the pod effectiveness is more. Although the old has a different agitator design which seems to swirl water better? I don't know.... I feel an LG impeller top loader or front loader would've washed it well.
Would it have hurt to use a little bit of bleach on the whites?
YES !!, just picked up the last 2017 Speed Queen (top load) my local store had left. The GE washer (that had amazing reviews) just died completely on me & after only 16 months👎. So happy I was able to find one of these still available.
How is your TV-5 working? Is it loud?
@@MOAB-UT Still runs like a champ. Not any louder than any normal washer (to me anyways.)
@@HarpCali8o5 You have a TC5 or a TR5? I like the tC version model.
FABULOUS VIDEO! Thanks
Go get 'em Eugene!
YOU need to wash the 2018 towels set till it gets as clean as the 2017 so we can say... it takes 2 (or however many) washes in the 2018 to clean as well as 1 wash in the 2017.
Eugene also has a separate video review of the 'new old' 2019 Speed Queen, maybe the title of this one should be updated to '2018 only'
