SpeedQueens are beasts if you can afford it and their interfaces are downright quaint compared to the smart-crap everyone else makes. They're essentially all made for commercial customers so they almost never break with regular household usage and parts are easily available for repairs.
- samch 3y agoAgreed. This is what we settled on as well after doing some research. They also have longer than average warranties on most models.
- bob1029 3y agoI recently purchased a TC5 and really like it. You can actually get proper commercial equipment from them with some mild social engineering. They still manufacture washers that are purely mechanical: https://speedqueencommercial.com/en-us/products/top-load-washers-commercial/#control12753 https://speedqueencommercial.com/en-us/products/top-load-was... I stuck with the consumer segment because I dont want to have a weird conversation if I need service. The TC5 is electronic control, but it doesnt have all the limitation crap that other consumer units do. No lid lock & 100% fill is pretty much all I ask for these days.
- ilamont 3y agoCan confirm. Used a Speed Queen dryer for 5+ years now. Didn't find it to be especially expensive.
- beauzero 3y agoI agree. We have a farm as well and Georgia clay, tractor grease, pebbles, a miswired 220 outlet (just popped a fuse...easily replaced), nails, and the occasional misplaced socket haven't broken it. Gets used 3-4 times daily. We also have one in the barn tack room that we wash horse blankets with. I love them.
