I have the Speed Queen commercial washer dryer set (models AWN542SP111TW01 and ADELRGS171TWO1) and they are extremely durable. Electro-mechanical controls all the way. 8+ years strong. Easy to find spare parts and YT videos for support if you need it. Fast washing, fast drying. With kids it’s a life saver compared to neighbors who have energy efficient non agitator brands. Second the other post about roughness on delicate clothes. Mesh bag those and use delicate setting for thin tees and under garments. Can handle 2 comforters without going out of balance. Can dry full load of tees in 35 mins. Clean out dryer lint screen every time and deep clean once a year to keep up efficient air flow. Environmental damage notwithstanding with strike nearby took out dryer timer which was an easy diy replacement. Heating element also failed (high humidity area we live in) and that also was an easy fix. Overall very happy and a SQ customer for life.

Reply to SPEED QUEEN WASHERS; Are they worth it? Which model would be recommended for a large family, which does multiple loads of laundry a day. Doesn’t have to be fancy. It seems people choose SQ for their reliably, and quality, not because of the bells and whistles, or lack thereof… Thanks for any input!! by KaiBaird
