Speed Queen AWNA62 (2nd Gen)

We LOVE our new Speed Queen. We are so happy we have gone back from a previous brand that did not have an agitator to this one. The cycles don’t go for ages but still do such a great job. We never have to rewash anything. And we can do most washes on cold water with the same results. Living on a farm / sheep station our work clothes definitely are… Read more

grubby when they go in but they always are very well washed when they come out – and like I said, normally on a cold cycle. It saves having to do a separate wash for clothes that need a hot wash. We are glad we got the large sized machine too as it means we can get so much done in one hit.

Have enjoyed purchasing this washing machine. Staff are very helpful and keep in touch during the process of delivery as we live in the country, outside of the main population centres. The machine was easy to install and works very quietly. It is faster than my previous machine and very good regarding lint deposits in a dark wash. I have… Read more

always had these types of machines but this is definitely the best. We bought the model with knobs and without the electronic menus, and my partner just loves it, so he actually does some washing now. ☺️

For years we've had a Kleenmaid washing machine made by SQ originally purchased 2nd hand. It served us well, with only a water pump needing replacement. Until now one of the most reliable appliances we've owned. It's stainless drum has now been repurposed as a fire pit! It was time to join the SQ family and our opportunity arrived. I discovered… Read more

SQ from a washing machine service tech when asked what his preference was. First impressions are inspiring, quality, finish and feel of ruggedness. I already know it's going to perform admirably as we've enjoyed more than a decade of reliability from it's badged predecessor. Can't wait to take it for a spin... Disclaimer is we were fortunate to purchase our SQ as a factory second, at a markedly reduced price. On inspection it has a couple of minor scratch marks on the carcass that are easily concealed with appliance touch up paint. Otherwise this magnificent marvel is enamelled rolled gold! Bugger the laundry, this fine piece of American machinery will go straight to the pool room alongside our Kirby...

Best washing machine ever – I just want to tell anybody who is looking for a new washing machine that I can unequivocally and without any reservation whatsoever recommend the SPEED QUEEN 8.5kg Control Top Loader Washing Machine MODEL NO. AWNA62 BLACK - AWNA62SN305AW01 - Country of Origin: USA. In the past I have experienced much stress, waste of time and waste of water… Read more ·  1

caused by previous washing machines which had a great tendency to imbalance … then the machines filling up with water in futile attempts to “balance the load”.

Just prior to purchasing my Speed Queen, my then washing machine went from 4.30pm to 7.30pm one day going through futile attempts to “balance the load”. I shudder to think what would have occurred if I had been out of the house … perhaps the “load balancing” procedure would have exhausted the whole town’s water supply … and my bank balance paying for it.

I spent a sleepless night researching washing machines and came across the brand Speed Queen. I had never heard of Speed Queen before but in the course of my research I could not find any bad reviews … only good ones.

So I came to the decision to buy a Speed Queen … and I must say … a very good decision that proved to be.

In this era of “planned obsolescence” and “off shore call centres” life is full of bitter little disappointments and stressful situations caused by inferior products which we come across daily and which often times, through lack of thought, research and choice, we purchase in haste, and regret, to our detriment, for a long time afterwards.

I have no regrets about purchasing my Speed Queen washing machine. It has been meeting all my expectations:

- it does a load in 37 minutes; - it washes and rinses to a very high standard; - I only use half the amount of detergent that I used in previous machines; - I love the traditional control knobs and the five choices of “cycle selection” viz.: Normal, Perm Press, Delicate, Rinse & Spin and Spin Only; - It is lovely to look at, delightful to touch and heaven to use; - It is a really beautifully made, solid piece of machinery; - its solidity gives me a wonderfully secure feeling that it will never imbalance; - doing the washing is now a pleasure and not a constant cause of stress.

I am so happy with my Speed Queen that I cannot stop myself from telling people how great it is. They often say “Are you in love … with your washing machine?”

I smile knowingly because I think that might be the case.

I was praising it to my next door neighbour. He told me that he was already aware of how good Speed Queen washing machines were as when he was in a job “on the road” “we guys had a Speed Queen washing machine on the back of a truck which we operated with a generator … it was great … “

So Speed Queen is a washing machine “for all seasons”.

For me, for you, for everyone … for tradies and for gentle ladies … for families and for singles.

And to top all that off:

No sooner will you have paid for your Speed Queen than you will be contacted within a couple of hours by:

- A respectful and courteous real Australian human being with a real Christian name and a real surname and not afraid to give it to you; - a real street contact address in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia; - an actual landline phone number in Brisbane, Queensland , Australia.

The process of being able to have contact with a real person at an actual street address via an actual landline is very reassuring.

It helps restore one’s faith that there are still some things right in the world.

If ever I win the Lotto, I would buy every person whom I love, the same Speed Queen Washing Machine that I have … the Speed Queen, the Clean Queen and the Stress Free Queen of Washing Machines.

Puts domestic machines to shame. I LOVE our speed queen 8.5kg – We have owned 2 other major brands of machines that let us down in a big way, also out of balance, sometimes had to wash it twice. Now after reading many reviews and speaking to people who own speed queen washers I decided to purchase one in April this year (2023). Now the price tag is somewhat scary but they are worth every cent, they are built… Read more

like a tank and weight about the 85kg mark, they are basic controls and wash our clothes perfectly every time without fail. Now they are not exactly quiet but I wished I bought one years ago instead of wasting money on fancy brands with electronics that simply fail or struggle to wash properly and can't get parts for.

I highly recommend the speed queen, the build quality puts most other brands to shame and that's putting it politely we have NOT had any out of balance issue it just seems to wash without any drama's. Costs however is a factor you need to take into consideration when deciding to purchase one. The warranty is excellent, the life expectancy is VERY impressive, AND ITS FULLY serviceable. I will also note speed queen BACK their products and offer great support too.

I simply love my industrial 8.5kg Speed Queen top load washing machine. The service provided at delivery and installation was great. Every wash is perfect, it is so simple to use and the spin cycle leaves your clothes near dry without damaging them. It is a bit noisy but we knew that from having used the machines in lots of laundromats and caravan parks. It is worth every cent of the purchase price. Show details

This is I think my third speed queen washing machine and I cannot fault them. I have never had a problem. The service is excellent - they deliver, install and remove packing etc. There was one minor issue after installation which related to my limited understanding of technology. The Speed Queen representative wasted no time in determining… Read more

the issue and bringing me up to speed on the added technological benefits which these washers provide. Again I say the product is excellent and the service from Speed Queen is even better

I purchased the machine directly from Speed Queen in December ‘24. The salesperson was fantastic and agreed take away 2 old washing machines at no extra cost. The installers were also fantastic, taking time to install the machine properly plus explaining the operating instructions. Overall the process from purchase to installation was faultless. The machine couldn’t be easier to operate and does a great job.

We have had our Speed Queen washing machine for approximately 12 months. We are delighted with its performance and build quality. The five year warranty gives great peace of mind. Definitely worth the money. Show details

I absolutely love this washing machine! It has exceeded all my expectations. The washing performance is fantastic, and it cleans clothes thoroughly, even stubborn stains. The variety of cycles is perfect for different fabrics, and I can easily adjust the settings to get the best results for each load. It's also very quiet, which is a big plus. The… Read more

energy efficiency is a nice touch, as it helps me save on electricity. The design is sleek and modern, and it fits perfectly in my laundry room. I also appreciate how easy it is to use and set up. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly washing machine!

Tough quality build – I am very happy with my machine I am convinced it is the best on the market especially compared to my friends flimsy plastic high tech machines which break down. It is a worthy successor to my old G.E Americana Show details

Speed Queen is the best – I've been using the Speed Queen AWN62 for a few months now, and I'm incredibly impressed with its performance and durability. This washing machine is a true workhorse, handling even the toughest laundry loads with ease. my husband is a carpenter and thanks to SQ all his clothes are now heaps cleaner than before. compare with previous cheap brand… Read more

-samsung its surely wash better and faster. i dont mind pay more if the product is ACTUALLY GOOD! and this investment is 100% worth it

Great machine, excellent customer service – - Decided on the Speed Queen for the reliability and expected lifespan - she was replacing a 20 year-old alternate brand, USA made machine. We wanted another USA made machine for this reason. - Excellent customer service from Speed Queen who followed up with the agent to ensure we received our girl as soon as possible, and touched base with us to… Read more

ensure we were satisfied - We wanted the base model with dials (we aren't fans of a lot of electronics). Despite the simplicity, the machine is surprisingly highly functional, looks great and is sturdily built - Only on the third wash in, however so far I am very pleased with the results of the wash and speed of the wash cycles. Our loads predominately consist of outdoor work uniforms, office/casual wear and towels - I am excited to do the laundry!

I have found the Washer of my dreams :) – This is the best washing machine I have ever used it is fast, thorough and has a huge capacity. I have a family of 6 and spend alot of my time washing, it is a thankless job. I have been struggling for the last few years with a good looking front loader that was terrible and it didn't clean the clothes properly, so with this I feel I have gotten… Read more

my life back with the Speed Queen. I have two regrets though, the first is that I didn't spend the extra $200 and get the electronic version as it has more cycles (I would like to be able to soak my clothes) and two, I didn't get it sooner.

Great Machine, Great Service! – I was use to having a Maytag for 20 years. Speed Queen was the only equivalent replacement. Clothes I wash vary from delicates to tiling trade work clothes. Have had the new machine for a few months now, can't fault it. It's easy to use, cycles are quick, no residue left in the bowl. Installation was great too, installer took the time to go over the machine functions in a bit more detail than the standard brochure. Show details

Best washing machine – We have recently replaced our washing machine as it was about 20 years old. The new Speed Queen we have now is fantastic!! It is very easy to use, holds a lot, does a brilliant wash and spins well so that the clothes dry quicker than with our old machine. It fits perfectly into the space left by the old machine. It was installed very professionally. We are so glad we chose the Speed Queen. Show details

I love this machine – I replaced my faithful Maytag with a Speed Queen because a Maytag wasn't available at the time. I am super happy with my Speed Queen and I'm glad the Maytag was out of stock. The Speed Queen has a much bigger bowl and takes less time to do a full load than the Maytag. The only thing I miss about my Maytag is that it had a timer where you could… Read more

tell how far through the wash it was. The Speed Queen gives no clue about this and if you stop the wash for some reason, you really need to start the whole cycle again to make sure you don't miss part of it.

Absolute workhorse – This washing machine can handle anything I throw at it. Greasy, muddy work clothes are no issue. A full set of sheets/doona cover all in one load without throwing a hissy fit. I can smash through the washing in no time at all! Show details

Should be Called Speed Clean! – What I love the most is the size and solid build of the Speed Queen washers and dryers. The capacity is fantastic creating less washes, saving us power, wear & tear & money. The simplicity of controls also makes for a fuss free washing job. It should be called ‘Speed Clean’ because that's how I get through the washing and drying at our home with the Speed Queen range. Show details

Best Washing Machine – We bought Speed Queen washing Machine AWNA62 in July 2022, so we had enough time to make assessment of it. It is an excellent machine, the best so far we have used, and we had used quite a few others of different makes. Our thanks to sales staff of Harvey Norman of Caste Hill for advising to buy this machine and technician of Costello & Co. of… Read more

Auburn for installing it. They did a great job.

The machine is very efficient, all clothes of different kinds, including delicates, are washed very well and it runs smoothly. Very pleased and very highly recommended.

Its's certainly speedy! – I LOVE my speed queen. I am now no longer waiting around all day to get the washing done. The washing’s in then it’s out then I’m off to do more exciting things.

Speed Queen - Happy King! – After researching the internet it became obvious that the Speed Queen was head and shoulders above all others. Although more expensive in cost initially, I could see the benefits of a 25yr warranty and hassle free washing for decades to come, making good value for money in the longer term. 30min washes clean our clothes 100% cleaner than any… Read more

machine we’ve had or used in the past. Solid construction, quiet, and super fast, you won’t be waiting all day to do multiple washes. A great product that you won’t regret, from the machine through to the Speed Queen team delivery and installation, you won’t regret this purchase.

No Unnecessary Bells and Whistles – We love our Speed Queen, it’s awesome and does exactly what a washer machine is supposed to do, wash clothes without the unnecessary bells and whistles.
