Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ease of use and intuitive dial readings. Purchased machine on recommendation from a certified repairman for a different brand of washer and drier.

Pro: Washes like the old washers—fully mixing clothing in water to get out debris, very fast cycles (35ish minutes), and you can open lid at any time, but it does stop the cycle. HOWEVER, it’s easy to bypass the lid opening shut off—just google it—so you CAN see clothes agitating and be able to determine if you can add more clothes or not, see if something is just floating (jacket, shoe, etc.) and not actually mixing, discover if clothing is twisting with other clothing, etc. Love, love, love that I can see what’s going on and make sure all is going well (by holding down a lever in the back to allow the machine to continue running while running the cycle). Con: No small or medium load options! :( And the spin cycle does not dry clothes quite as well as my old (very old) washers, so longer drying times needed. Not as much easy control to get it to do what I want as my older machine. I only use on heavy duty for through wash and thorough rinse. (Eco mode does not fully rinse, just a spray rinse.)

I Love Everything about. Old School all the way. No bells or whistles needed.

I love my speed queen washer. Compared to my Samsung washer that we got rid of it washes a load in 1/3 the time and makes my water and electric bill less. The one complaint I have is it seems to leave a bit of detergent on the bottom of the tub. Much better at spinning the clothes and all in all I am pleased.

Only takes about 30mins to do a load and has not gone out of balance once

We watched one down quilt it was perfect. We watched the second quilt when the cycle was finished we went down to the basement they were down feathers everywhere and there was a 2 inch rip in the seam of the down quilt.

I was told this would be a good machine to purchase after getting it. I have limited cycles to choose from. It doesn’t have a low wash load cycle. It uses too much water. It’s loud and it’s damaging some of my clothes and items that I put in the machine that I could normally wash in the front loader not satisfied at all

Only had it a couple of months. The cycle is very fast. The lid hits the control knobs when lid is opened. The end of cycle alarm would be nice if it was actually loud enough to hear. Would like to review after a few years.

Before I had my own W&D, I’d trundle to the laundromat where the washers were always Speed Queen. I didn’t know that I could buy a commercial one of my own. I have owned 6 washers during my laundry life. Bet if I had bought Speed Queen from the beginning, I’d still have it sloshing and washing my clothes today.

Long story short, we love it! It cleans so much better than the Maytag we got a few years ago, we can interrupt the cycle to toss is items after it starts and it's not confusing to identify if the machine is or isn't running. It's great. Simple and works perfectly, Hope it keeps running for a long time.

Fast wash cycles and the clothes are clean and smell great

Very sturdy. Runs quietly. Last washer we had sounded like it was going to fall to pieces and loud. My speed Queen, cleans the clothes better and cycles don’t take as long.

Amazing product that is built to last. The tub is smaller than most on the market but the solid construction on this unit means it is capable of being fully loaded and it just works. It doesn't care that you stuff a king sized comforter into it. Two small annoyances: 1: The machines is not quiet. Do NOT put this machine in a laundry room near to where you are going to be watching tv or the like. 2: This machine does not have a lid lock (this is good). However it does have a switch that when the lid is lifted it will pause whatever it is doing. This includes the fill cycle which is very annoying as they way to add the detergent is during the fill, and you will want to rinse out your measuring cup. Thankfully there are a few ways of either temporarily by reaching behind the machine and pressing a release switch while the lid is open or permanently by using something to keep that release in (clothespin, block of wood or styrofoam, etc).

This is my second purchase of this washer. Totally loved the first one but when it went bad decided to purchase again. After a couple of weeks it made a terrible noise when aggitating. Repairman came out weeks ago and said it did not get the correct amount of lubricant at the factory. He had to order a part and lubricant and that was weeks ago. I called the service line last week and they said they would check.....no answer a week later. Totally disappointed. I should be given a new washer as I thought the excessive price warranted a working washing machine for years to come. What do you have to say for Speed Queen now? I'd love to hear from you.

I like that that the tube fills with water unlike my previous machine. I have a problem with suds coming from the drain hose and the machine is very loud but it does get the clothes clean

This is a fantastic washing machine, capable of washing a variety of clothes regardless of their soil levels. I think the functions such as "Deep Fill" are really great for heavier loads. I love the efficiency of each load being washed and the clothes have never come out cleaner!

The companion dryer protrudes from wall and does not line up with washer.

So Glad we purchased a Speed Queen Washer! We had a front loader for 15 years that never really got the clothes clean enough. The Speed Queen is head and shoulders above any other washer we've owned. Super clean clothes and the quality is amazing!

After several years of a front load machine….this was one of my best decisions….i love it and am so happy. My salesman,Herb, spent time with me showing me the differences in the machines. I had really decided a few years ago, after reading about Speed Queen , that this would be my next washer. He wanted me to be informed.

Awesome speed and durability and great value for the warranty
