I have a the previous gen Speed Queen front loader. Quick look, it appears to be the same machine but with different control panel. I went with the front versus top loader since my savings in water paid for the additional cost within several years, not including additional savings from reduced cost of drying clothes (due to them coming out from the washer more dry). I've had it for maybe 5 years with no issue. It does tend to walk a bit due to being on a Wood construction floor. I'm planning to add a layer of 3/4 inch ply underneath it to help stiffen the floor and attach isolators on the front feet. My understanding is I wouldn't have this problem if it was on concrete slab. Answer from UCCheme05 on reddit.com

r/BuyItForLife on Reddit: Speed Queen Front Load Washer - worth it?
March 1, 2023 -

Electrolux washing machine is on its last leg, and we are ready for a BIFL investment in a washing machine. Anyone have experience with Speed Queen's Front Loader (FF7005WN)? Is it as good as the top loaders? The increased gentleness on clothes + better water efficiency is the primary motivator to go with a front loader over a top, but open to alternative opinions if people have thoughts. Thanks!

Speed Queen front load washer cleaning ability?
I've read reviews saying the front loaders are not that great, and that's probably why they discontinued them. There is a work around if you want the older style Speed Queen top loading washer. Buy the commercial SQ HomeStyle model, which has only a few differences. Read this post for details from an SQ "insider." More on reddit.com

Speed Queen Front Load AFN50 Washer Review - Long Post
October 3, 2014 - The lady verified that the home version of their washer was identical to their commercial washers except for the outer case and no coin box. Doing a comparison of the bearing designs between the LG and Speed Queen, a weakness of many front load washers, seems to justify the claim that the Speed Queen washer is built better.

February 10, 2022 - I decided that you liked my product review, so I should do one on my Speed Queen set! Now, my sense of time is terrible, so we either got these in 2018 or 2019… I CAN NOT remember and neither can my husband. I’m 99% sure it was winter time and our previous set was having issues. We had a Whirlpool front loading set and after some adjustments with that set, I had grown to love them.

My Speed Queen Review - Shalice Noel
February 15, 2024 - As a busy mom of five, waiting six months for a washer and dryer simply wasn’t feasible. So, I reluctantly opted for an LG front loader, which never quite met my expectations in terms of cleaning effectiveness. Needless to say, I was thrilled to replace it. Then came the TC5 top loader from Speed Queen.

My Review of the Speed Queen Top Load Washer - Lorain Furniture
April 20, 2017 - Over sized motor can easily handle anything you can load in it. The outer tub is made of steel (the other brands are plastic) which basically prevents any disgusting goo from building up in your machine, causing it to get stinky. The all-steel transmission, with steel gears will quite literally never go bad. I service some really old speed queens, and have yet to ever change a transmission. Even under intense use, the washer will easily outlast its 5 year warranty.

Speed Queen Review: We Toured the Factory and Tested Their Classic Washer. Here’s What We Learned.
November 27, 2019 - But even on the wettest, hottest, most vigorous setting that the TC5 offers—the Heavy Duty cycle with Hot water and Deep Fill selected, which uses about 50 gallons of water total to wash and rinse, almost half of which comes straight from the hot-water tap—it wasn’t any better than our favorite front-loader on its Normal cycle, which uses about a quarter of the total water and a small fraction of the hot water. The stronger Speed Queen cycles also caused quite a bit of fraying damage, as we expected from a washer with such a strong agitator. Other reviewers have found similar results with the TC5 and older versions of the same washer.

November 8, 2023 - As the only front load washing machine manufacturer that claims to last for 25 years (and even more with maintenance), no other brand of front loaders comes close to Speed Queen when it comes to durability. But durability doesn’t always mean compatibility, especially for shoppers looking for specific details like Wi-Fi connectivity, large capacities, and other smart features. Bottom line, Speed Queen washers will get the work done, and they do it well, but not every buyer is shopping for a washer just for its durability.

You can also leave the door open and dry the gasket to prevent it. Build Quality: Steel components, three coats of commercial-grade finish, and everything is front-serviceable.

We are able to wash queen-size comforter no problem. It's easy for us to load/unload. Previously we owned a GE and Electrolux front-loaders. The newer front-loaders were just too huge for our small washroom, and I wanted something reliable, so we tried the Speedqueen. So far, so good. ... We bought a Miele washer because Speed Queen was making junk when we needed to replace our dead LG.
