How do you get a speed queen for home? Do they sell a domestic line?

It's a commercial washer without a coin mechanism. I found it at one of those places that sells used appliances they buy from stores who are selling upgrades to customers.

Does it actually wash well?

Yes, I did five loads today. No issues at all.

Look on YouTube about how to increase the water level on the washer, it will increase the capacity a bunch. I understand that is one of the restrictions they did to sell to the home market. I don’t know for sure, I did ours and it really increased the capacity.
Go slowly you don’t want it to over fill.

Yep. Just bought a set myself.

I love my SQ dryer... whenever our old washer dies I'll be replacing with a SQ as well.

My newly-built house came with all Bosch appliances (including 2 washers and 2 dryers), and I have already replaced half of everything. Bosch is more like “Buy it for 5-10 Years.”
Edit: we upgraded one fridge to a Fisher & Paykel before getting our house, and it’s been great.

Love my Speed Queen washer.

I bought a Speed Queen set from the early ‘80s in 1995. Still works great.

Seems like incredibly low odds for this to be true under normal use. Even cheap appliances last 5-10 years, let alone the $3k+ ones that you may have. What went wrong with the ones in your experience?
edit: Great name btw!

I just inherited the same speed queen washer! It's large capacity and it's such a tank
