- Key Specs
- Color Finish: Black
- Product Height: 42 3/4 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 25 5/8 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 28 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Capacity: 3.2 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: false (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
- Agitator Type: Single-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)

- Automatic Temperature Control: false (This feature regulates hot and cold temperatures of the water or air within the appliance in order to keep them in the optimal range for each cycle.)
- Delay Start: false (Allows you to program the appliance to automatically run at a later time. This feature helps you coordinate with your household’s water needs, noise preferences, and more. Additionally, operating your appliance during off-peak hours may reduce energy costs.)

- Bleach Dispenser: true
- Fabric Softener Dispenser: true
- Detergent Dispenser Type: Single load, Single load (Single load dispensers hold enough liquid detergent for a single cycle and must be refilled after each use. A multiple load dispenser holds enough for multiple cycles before it is necessary to refill the detergent. The exact number of cycles completed before refilling will vary as machines with multiple load dispensers will calculate and dispense detergent automatically based on load size and other user preferences such as concentration level.)

A: I ordered mine in October 2022. Had a November delivery date, which was pushed back to December which was pushed back to February which was pushed back to March 20th. I got a call on the 18th with a narrower window for delivery. It never came and I never got a call. I did call and got some very nice people who didn't cause the problem who were very sympathetic. They said the wrong machine had been delivered to their warehouse and they reordered the correct one. They promised delivery on the 22. I did get it. The delivery people said they had never seen a machine like it. I used it the first time today. I am hoping it will last as long as my old Kitchenaid that was still working when I gave it away last week. It was over 30 years old. I want a strong, uncomplicated work horse. I want one where I can choose the water lever and temperature and have no more than 3 cycles. I want one to last 20 years and as I am 77 I want this to be my last washer. This fits the bill and so far after 3 loads of clothes seems to be working fine. I didn't like that I had to pay for it in October and not receive it until March and I didn't like that no one from the delivery called me on Monday to tell me they weren't coming. Those nice people I talked to offered me a $200 gift card for my troubles. I didn't ask for that but it is nice that they offered. I would have appreciated cash quite a bit better
A: All Speed Queen washers fill all the way to the top with water like machines used to before the government got involved with water saving. I finally figured this out after asking and asking and lamenting about the last washer we bought not filling with water. That ridiculous washer only lasted a few years and every appliance repairman I spoke to said buy a speed queen, they work like washers used to and rarely break. So I did! And I'm so happy to no longer have to pour gallons of water from a bottle filled from the kitchen sink into the washer to get my clothes covered with water like machines used to do!
Q: How many gallons per average cycle does this washer use?
A: Hi, MikeK! The water level on our TC5 is preset to each cycle. The Normal/Eco cycle will use less water to achieve that Eco status. The Heavy Duty, Perm Press, and Delicate cycle use around 14.5 gallons per fill (one fill for the wash and another fill for the rinse). Then the Bulky/Sheets cycle would use around 16 gallons per fill. The Deep Fill option increases each fill to 19 gallons.

Speed Queen the Best!
I've had my Speed Queen top load washer for almost EIGHT years - I paid the price for a no frills old fashioned washer because I want to set my water levels and be able to throw in additional items...I paid about $850 back then - I see they have about doubled in price...but I doubt if I'd ever buy anything else. Hate those "energy effcient" which don't even get clothes wet ...

Bring it back to old school washer
Works great, it's easy to use. Minimum options which is all you need. Unlike 14 options that you'll end up only using about 5 or less. This washer has the perfect amount of options for washing. Which is all you need. Less chance of it breaking down with less options

Speed Queen the best
The BEST WASHER you can buy. Clothes come out clean no soap residue. I mean really clean clothes. Yes you can load up the washer . Queen size comforter fits and it comes out clean. It does not tear clothes up at all . Bottom line worth every penny spent on it. Yes 28 minutes to wash clothes.
