- The video you have all been waiting for. The first cycle video of the 2016 Speed Queen, 9 series! You'll notice my voice is lower, and that's because I made this video around 11:00 PM.
My cam likes to do the sound adjustment thing during the spin cycles and that's very annoying, so I apologize for that. Hopefully I can do something about that in the future. One thing I love about our setup is how much noise the water makes when it flows!
5:07 High Speed Agitation
18:08 Rinse Spin Drain
22:52 Rinse Fill
27:18 High Speed Agitation
30:18 Spin Drain
These will always be better than the 2018 and beyond Speed Queen washers.
Oh you bet!
See folks. This is an old fashioned one piece agitator that is well designed . It doesn't need an auger on top to push the clothes down.Speed Queen took the best of Whirlpools old belt drive surgilators and utilized the design to great effect in this washer. No need for a dual action agi in a Speed Queen.
That's not an auger agitator
.....this agitator is more of a cross between the old belt drive surgilator that Whirlpool used for decades and the power fin agitator Maytag had in its older Newton made machines. Now they've gone and ruined it.
Speed Queen before the storm. R.I.P buddy.
My 2 year old AWN92 is working fine without any problems and get the clothes really clean in just over 30 minutes start to finish. Don't be put off my the modest size wash tub capacity, this machine will wash two loads to most other larger capacity machines one. It can easily keep my two dryers busy drying clothes.
Oh exactly, it does fantastic. We've washed a queen size comforter in here, and it STILL turned over.
Wow, it handled the large load without a problem!
Piece of cake for this machine!
Just got our new Speed Queen set. Love them. Love the sound of the agitator. Reminds me of my moms wringer washer {which I used} 45 years ago.
Nothing but quality!
Did you get the manual TL washer by chance?
Nice Speed Queen! Speed Queen washers are just as good as the old Maytags, and they built just as well a a vintage Maytag. I have a Maytag A810 washer and Maytag DG810 gas dryer, and they work really well! I also have a Lady Kenmore portable washer, and portable electric dryer. Unfortunately, the Lady Kenmore portable electric dryer has a bad power cord, and the dryer does not come on at all now, and I need a new cord for it.
Well that's not too bad. A new cord shouldn't be too hard to get and attach. Oh the A810? I think that was top of the line at the time?
The Maytag A810 is the top of the line, and was the replacement for the Maytag 806. The matching dryer to my Maytag is a DG810 gas dryer, but does not dry small loads all that well. I don't know why, but it seems that electric dryers dry better than gas dryers. I have a Maytag electric dryer, but it is not the matching dryer to the Maytag A810, but it seems to dry as fast as the gas dryer does. The old dryer that was at my old house was a Kenmore 70 series 29" electric dryer, from what I was told by my mom, it dried fast, and was gentle on the clothes.
Looks like a great wash! Not over loaded good water, excellent agitation!
I was always taught to go no higher than the top row of holes. It has never failed me! :D
I agree. I typically do small to medium loads being it puts less stress on the machine and I have more available water options. I typically will make sure I can add about 2" of water above the clothes when submerged. This give me a great wash.
This is how I load my washer also. You get full use of the tub. Great turnover action .
Doesn't miss a beat!
I still think the whirlpool one piece agitator has a little bit better turnover than the speed queen but both are very nice machines
Yeah ya think so?
The redesigned 2018 model Speed Queen washers are NOTHING like the one here in this vid! They do NOT get your laundry clean like the one in this vid does!!
That's for sure!
Debatable. I’ve seen tests indicating that when used properly, a 2018/19 will clean your clothes reasonably well. However I’ve seen other tests indicate that they’re pure shit.
I just bought what appears to be a 2016. The serial number starts with 1609. How much soap and what kind do you use? Why are they better than the new ones? Thanks
I know I'm late to the party. I love this washer...bought the same model. Is it possible to wash a very small load without filling the entire washer with water?
The models sent to Australia still have the 210° arc plus 68 strokes per minute like the original.
Did you use a rubber spacer or clothes pin to bypass the lid switch?
A clothes pin! :D
The Speed Queen flex vane agitator kind of reminds me of the Whirlpool Surgilator, and works kinda like a Whirlpool belt drive Surgilator.
Sean Wilkerson
It certainly does. That is one of the reasons I bought a Speed Queen.
It's mostly the agitation arc that does the job. The direct drives were 90 degrees, so due to the shorter stroke, the straight vanes or surgilator types didn't do as well compared to the dual-actions. This washer, and the older Whirlpool belt drives had 180 degrees, so that did give the one-piecers more advantage.
That's why I like the dual action agitator better because they clean better especially for heavy loads. The surgilator agitator does good for medium and small loads though imo
@@Sharkie626 The Speed Queen uses a 210 degree agitator stroke, not a 180 degree stroke.
So the new machines will be available next week according to the website. It’ll be interesting to read the reviews of people buy and use them
I am very curious to see that myself.
I could watch this all day. What I wouldn't give for a great washer like this. Our stupid low water washer is AWFUL and I'd chuck it in a heartbeat if I could.
Never too late! Remember, used markets are your friend!
What is the second best washer to a 2017 speed queen? I have a friend in the market for a new washer. Thanks.
Whirlpool direct drive in used markets.
Sharkie626 thanks!
Awesome To See Water Being Used To clean Clothes,But Dearly Miss That Old Whirlpool & @JayKay18...Im Planning On Getting A Direct Drive Like The Maytag I Used To own,I Just Bought The Samsung Flex Washer And Dryer And It uses Wayy More Water Then The Other One I Have,So Far So Good,No Errors,No Smells,Hopefully it'll stay That way..
This machine does an phenomenal job, I am SO glad my mom got it. I will very much miss the 1990 Whirlpool. Had that machine since I was 2. Definitely find a direct drive! You will not be sorry.
Sharkie626
The DD washers from Whirlpool were some of the best. My mom had 2, a Whirlpool in 1988 and the second in 2003 which was a Kenmore. Both great machines.
If I can I will try to find another Kenmore 90 series DD washer. That was a very flexible washer with speeds and water temperature settings. I only wish Speed Queen would offer warm rinses. If I am buying expensive equipment I want to have that choice.
Otherwise for those of you who were not old enough to remember the original belt drive Whirlpool/Kenmore and Maytag washers...these Speed Queens are the closest to those old workhorses.
The direct drives were the best. Some people complained about the motor couplings failing but that's because they would try to stuff like 20 pounds of laundry into it. I don't think that was the direct drive's fault!
I wish I still had one of these. Much more quiet. Not that I know much about washing machines. I have one now that the agitator bounces likes its about to eject something...and its noisy. Its 2012 (I think) Whirlpool model. Anyway...that's my 2 cents. Happy washing.
Can you do a extremely overloaded wash thanks
Is the tub indexing done to help polish the wash tub? I've heard that it stops doing it eventually but never really heard why it does it at all. My machine is only about 2 weeks old so it's indexing like crazy and probably will for quite a while to come.
Nah, the indexing is because the machine's brake has not set in yet. We've had the machine since October of last year, but it has not gotten regular usage until last month. On our's it's definitely starting to index less which is good. It doesn't index at all anymore for something light like bed sheets. But for something like towels, it will just take a little more time to be fully set in.
What do you mean by “ index”
Index means when the tub rotates some during the agitation.
Oooohhhh, watching a washer agitating the clothes is almost hypnotic to me....I want one! These new washers are crap!
True washing in action!
Your machine doesn't appear to lean at all. Did you do anything to support the inner tub so it doesn't lean?
I guess I just checked very carefully among everything, and also the machine leas back just a tad so it doesn't lean forward at all. It seems a little goes a long way with these machines.
@@Sharkie626 So your front leveling legs are raised higher? No matter what I try, mine seems to still lean significantly.
2 dislikes? Looks like it's feeding time for the Sharkie!
Sounds good to me!
Jesse Ladner
I like that!
Per an alliance spokesperson, these will be made through the end of 2018, and then this design will be history.
2019? Now that's the first I am hearing of that. I thought it was next year.
Yes, next year. I mean, by 2019 this design will be history. lol oops
Ahhh okay. At least this machine was still bought when it was!
I have the front loader. It’s a great machine
I’d like to see how it washes blankets or a comforter
I'll consider that for one of the next videos.
My queen size comforter can be washed in this machine without issue, usually I run a soak cycle prior to wash to get the comforter water logged.
Interesting idea there. Maybe I should try that sometime.
Does the water stream onto the clothes when it is being spun? ( like an additional rinse without the tub filling back up)
Yep, on the first spin.
It was really quiet on spin
It's not bad. But my cam made it quieter than it actually is. It keeps adjusting sound during that part for some reason.
Love the video man! I'd like to ask how do you trip the switch on these are there doesn't seem to be a bit? Also the Speed Queens Sold in Australia are made so that they don't spin drain! How rubbish is that lol
It's easy! If you look at the back under the control panel, you will see a small lever that moves up and down with the lid. A clothespin to keep it held down will work great!
There is some kind of reason for the Australian washers to do that, but I forget the reason.
Sharkie626 oh excellent that Is easy hahaha!!! Yeh someone told me as well but I don't remember why lol probably not made quite the same as the US ones
Sharkie626 I read that the Australian version does that because it cuts down on lint for line drying which is very popular there
joe m cuts down on lint? Wouldn't a spin drain whoosh the lint out with the water? They are talking rubbish there I think. I've used my neutral drain whirlpool and my swirl away maytag and haven't noticed any difference in lint
That is indeed what I have heard. Unsure though if it makes any difference.
Hi I want to open a laundry service in my area which washing matchine can you recommend
I'm not really a professional in that field unfortunately.
This is like the older Maytag’s stronger brother
Ha. That's one way to look at it!
I guess that I am lucky I bought a 2017 model, it has an electronic panel.
Oh yeah, very lucky.
Did you install braided stainless steel water inlet hoses on your washer?
Oh yeah. We always use those.
I have the same model and year but not having the same results. The wash tub on mine keeps leaning all the way to the front or side and hits the side panels. I've had the dealer out several times but no luck. I just wrote them a letter saying come and get it and bring a new one. I think I got a bad one.
Yeah some do that, some don't. Unsure what the reason is.
Sharkie626 I wish my washer would run like this. I was thinking maybe asking to give me the front loader in its place but I really like this old school system. What do you think?
No no no. Keep this one.
Sharkie626 Hmm. Ok. I will see if they will take care of this thing. I know people say this machine is quality so lets see if the company stands behind it.
Sharkie626 I just got the call saying a new washer is on the way. Friday should be the swap out. Wish me luck.
Great video! I have a couple questions. In the beginning of the vid you said the tub might index. What does that mean? Also, how did you get your cold water pressure so high? When I fill my tub warm I get great pressure, but when I rinse cold it definitely drops.
Index is where the inner tub turns some with one of the agitation strokes. That gets less over time with use. How long it takes will vary for everyone. The water pressure in this house overall is really nice and high, so it comes out great!
Thanks. Out of nowhere, mine stopped indexing last night! Also, I had a question with detergents. I haven't had a top loader in years. What is the best detergent out there right now for top loaders?
Powdered Tide has always been great for us. I think it will work great for you too.
Sharkie626 worked great. Even got my white socks clean without bleach!
Glad to hear it! :D
I thought it was overloaded at first but it's not...
Exactly! Great capacity.
It looks like it. It balanced the load and it's the perfect size. Guessing you're happy with it? Can you do a video of step by step disabeling the lid switch?
VERY happy with it. Only good machine made today. No video needed! Just look under the control panel at the back of the machine. You will see a small lever that moves up and down with the lid. You can use a clothespin to keep it held down when the lid is open.
Is this Heavy Duty Mode? It's certainly not Al Gore Mode.
It's on Whites mode, but with Warm water. I chose that mode just to give it a little more agitation time for the video's sake.
So the only difference between Whites & Heavy Duty is the water temp? I hope you do videos on the other cycles. I've already seen the Normal Eco, Heavy Duty, and Delicate Cycles.
Nah. You can choose any temperature you want. Whites gives it more wash time, 2 or 3 minutes more.
Uses to much water lol is there a way to dial this down like a 1/4? I like a lot of water but this drains whole hot water heater lol. Seen small quick wash but still half up tub!
Yeah, this machines has 4 water levels to choose from. Our water heater is 75 gallons. This machine doesn't even come close to using it all up.
@@Sharkie626 it uses just the right amount of water adjust the water according to load size via water level selector.
I also dont have a issue with running out of hot water I have a tankless heater.
Why does it spin and drain at the same time?
Some do, some don't. Just depends on how they were designed.
Because it can: if you notice the drain portion only takes about 30 second and the motor easily has enough torque to spin a full tub of water.
Emph Squee it's awesome
The reason why it does that is because the motor is actually directed to the drain pump & the belt turns the drum pulley of the washer to cause the inner basket to spin inside the washer which means the motor the pump and the belt works at the same time during the spin cycle that's why.
Great Video, Which specific model is this?
This is the AWNE92 series.
My Speed Queen 8 series is still indexing a lot after a yearlong. Any thoughts.
How often does it get used? Ours gets used for about 3 or 4 loads once every two weeks. Indexing is less now (and getting less), but sometimes still happens.
Sharkie626 I use every other day. Would you call service? Does it hurt the performance of the actual wash? Many thanks!
Jane Doe Maybe ya have a brake issue. It should still be under warranty.
Boy that new 2018 POS won't do this!
You got that right!
Can you please upload more washer videos if you can?
Indeed I have been meaning to. Just been preoccupied with other stuff.
I can't believe looking at this wash action that Speed Queen is going to axe this for the American market.
Maytag may not have a transmission anymore but they at least got back traditional wash action. Why couldn't Speed Queen?
It's gotta be cost cutting. Only thing I can think of.
Sharkie626
More than likely sharkie626. I think I made up my mind about the new models. They are a no go for me.
I tried to like them and wanted to, but big loads are going to be a problem for that glorified clothes soaker.
Clothes soaker. Haha! I love it.
Freakin sell-outs. They did it to cut costs. That's alright. For 2018 we can vote with our dollars and not buy their products
Oh I'm sure many people will!
These are the best top loads for the money.....would not even consider anything else!
Absolutely!
Absolutely, and priced accordingly. A classic example of getting what you pay for.
The smallest one is $2500 AUD here in Australia, 7.5kg capacity.
the brand new dryer machine are piece of junk because of sensor is not working sometimes which cause a clothes doesn't get completely dry! Speed Queen washing & dryer machine are only best quality machines!
These days, that is quite true!
These were good speed queen washers!!!! R I P ☹️
Indeed they were!
It turns the clothes over.
That's a real washer! What are they gonna do to the 2018 speed queens?
Unsure. Last I heard, they already meet what they had to.
Sharkie626 I'm glad to hear that.
The 2018 one gonna have the same wash action ass the discontinued Frigidaire affinity models
@@jordanrustveld I believe they do. I have heard they have both the classic clean and perfect wash models.
You can see the new 2018 models on automaticwasher.org. It has a lid lock and neutral drain like the Australian version
Indeed. But I quit that site 3 years ago. Don’t miss it.
Sharkie626 I don’t use it much. Kind of boring but you can still view the photos. I don’t like the new look. They now look like vintage 80s models
I just got kicked off that site for defending a poster there whose posts I enjoyed......typical. If you don't think like the echo chamber than you are an "intolerant" "bigot" ....or whatever the phrase of the day is . Good riddance !
See what I mean? Insults, and the guy does nothing about it, he's clearly very biased, I saw it myself when I used to be there. You won't miss that trashy site!
Sharkie626
Actually I took issue with the webmaster for kicking a certain member off.
I don't care though. Outside of washers and a couple of other appliances I don't relate to many on that site anyway.
Lot of knowledgeable folk there but also a lot of nastiness if your not one of the beloved in crowd.
Too old for that kind of nonsense.
Speed Queen LWN432SP115TW013.19 cu. ft. 26 Inch Commercial Top Load Washer is this the same model
Similar, but not as good.
@@Sharkie626 what model is that
@@Sharkie626 they also said the commertial maytag cleans better
@@Sharkie626 they also said the queen 2019 has the same drum and works exactly the same as the 2016
@@Sharkie626 I'm trying to decide so I can buy one tomorrow....
My 4 month old Speed Queen is still indexing with large/heavy wash loads, should I be concerned? I honestly don't think it affects the wash performance much as my towels still come out really clean.
Yeah you're fine. Eventually the indexing will stop, but the length of time varies for everyone.
Hell I'd pay $1,600 for a used 2015. It'd be worth it.
With the way they're going? Absolutely.
I found a lightly used mechanical dial SQ on Facebook Marketplace for $175! It was manufactured 9/15, and was in a house for sale that was vacant for 2 years, so it had very little use. I looked at the 2018 models but was not interested after seeing videos and reviews. I LOVE my SQ!
What's the model number
AWNE92SP
Thanks
The rollover on this machine is decent but still not as good as direct drives. also it's no where near as reliable
🤣
Oh the balance queen. Throw it off balance and it still doesn't move.
m.th-cam.com/video/Vg-h-idBmSY/w-d-xo.htmlm5s
are these good wachine machines?
Vann Berg One of the bests!
These are the best ones you can get today. Can't be beat!
Yes they are!
Vann Berg it's the ONLY modern washer that actually cleans clothes.
What is the advantage of this over the front load SQ
noisy
One of the reasons why I like it!
