Reply to comment by Proud_Pug in My moms washing machine and dryer have had it. I’m going to buy her a new one but I have several loads and comforters to do now. Has anyone been to the laundry mat in lakeside that used to be called the Dutch maid - how much does it cost and do I need to take quarters ? Thanks by Proud_Pug

Here is the deal with Speed Queen washer & dryer:

They are, for all intents and purposes, commercial, coin-operated appliances with the coin-op parts removed.

Before you say "eww, gross, I want something fancy" consider what makes a commercial appliance attractive to a business:

  • Device needs to be robust
  • Device needs to last
  • Device needs to be easy to repair or service

Check this guy out on TikTok:

That guy is in Canada where Speed Queen is sold under the "Huebsch" brand name.

But he has several videos that will show you the difference between Speed Queen and competing products.

Speed Queen is only available in mom & pop stores, such as Lakeside Appliances
