Thanks for the recommendation! Seems like it has a few more electric features without being over complicated.

I have a TC5/DC5 set. They are basic tanks—like, super basic—so if you want more features, definitely look into their other models.

That being said, I got mine because I don’t wear incredibly expensive clothing with technical fabrics and I like basic, no-fuss, easy-to-fix appliances that will last forever (all SQs do, but the TC5/DC5s, especially).

I don't care much for features. Just dependable and easy to repair. Read over the TC5 user guide, looks to have everything I need. Thankfully the mrs also agrees that all the extra features are unnecessary.

The TR series do have some more circuit boards, but they are less mechanically complex than the TC5. Fortunately the circuit boards are easily replaceable, and are also tested to a high standard.

The TR series has mechanical simplicity going for it, in addition to being gentler on clothes than the TC series. The TC-5 is better if you come home from work with really dirty clothes, or if you just want an absolute minimum of electronics in your washer. There isn’t a wrong choice between the two.
