Fabulous washing machine
Mine is 9 years old never had a problem
Wonderfully clean washing on a cycle that takes less than 30 minutes
Would buy another tomorrow

Not Worth the Dollars AT ALL
The machine was sold as a commercial 8.5kgs washer. When unpacked it showed 7.5kgs under the lid. When queried with Speed Queen Sales was told it was 8.5. Timing is not the time used to wash etc but the time programmed into machine to fill, wash, empty etc etc. No matter the water pressure the machine takes far too long to fill. The soak cycle is useless - it empties all the soapy water and re-fills for the wash!!! The hot water hose kept leaking so we replaced with another brand. The machine at one week after warranty cessation stopped
... Read moredrawing hot water. As the serviceman quoted some hundreds of dollars for the part we have washed in cold water since. Unlike past washing machines it is of no use for me for taking to the garage to wash gardening clothes and/or horse rugs - too small, too slow, a pain in the neck. We are putting it in the hard rubbish. Let someone else tear out their hair.Purchased in at Harvey Norman for $2,500.
No Nonces washing.
Love the no nonces dials. quick cycles, great water levels and the stainless-steel tub for easy cleaning.
I am able to stop the cycle and add any forgotten items. My towels and bed linen come out lovely and clean and are not wrinkled after the spin dry.

The Sherman Tank of Washing Machines
My wife & I have owned and used many washing machines during our lifetime. Also, as an electrical contractor that has spent a great deal of time repairing an assortment of commercial and industrial appliances, I have always appreciated the use of high-quality components and heavy-duty construction methods. This often doesn't result in the most attractive or quietest equipment, but 'generally' the upshot is a machine with a longer lifespan that is readily repairable. Spare parts are also often easier to source but I do not know if this is the ca
... Read morese with Speed Queen. The cost of a Speed Queen was the biggest hurdle for us. After all, we could probably purchase three domestic machines for the same price. It was a difficult decision but after using it for almost 6 months now, we are extremely happy with our machine. While it is significantly louder than our previous machine, we got used to it after only a few washes. Neither of us see it as annoying or a deal breaker. I have always liked to keep the number of electronics to a minimum in our appliances, however, we ended up going with the electronic version. We are very happy with that decision as well as it provides us with a range of options and a cleaner look. We have surge protection fitted at our main switchboard together with a plug-in Belkin surge cube on the powerpoint itself. These should provide reasonable protection for the electronics. We are not connected to scheme water and therefore operate from a rainwater and pressure pump system. Water is particularly precious to us as is the pump runtime. We were initially concerned about the 3-star water rating and the 1-star energy rating, however, we have found that a 32-minute ‘Quick Wash’ cycle (simple wash-rinse-spin) works perfectly for 90% of our washing. We came from a 9.5kg Simpson using a 1.5 hour cycle and we believe that we are now saving on power, water and time. The machine stays rock solid during all cycles, no matter what we have thrown in there. Dropping down from a 9.5kg to a 8.5kg made no difference at all to us. Funnily enough, it actually seems like we can fit more into it. It’s not always a case of “You get what you pay for” but with Speed Queen (so far) I think it might be a fair statement.Purchased in at Harvey Norman for $2,895.

What a great washing machine
This machine was purchased 4 months ago, but we decided to wait a while and get quite a few washes under the belt before submitting a review. After all, how can one submit a user review after only 1 week of use?
We bought the machine to replace a 10 year old Fisher & Paykel 7Kg washing machine which had come to the end of its economical life. A bit of over kill one may say seeing that there are only 2 of us in our home now, but we figure that this machine will be the last one we have to buy.

... Read moreplaced. It took the 2 delivery people plus my husband to get it into position. One thing that was noticeable from 1st use was that it was not as quiet as the F&P, but it's like moving into a house built near a railway line. At first you are aware of the trains, but within a couple of weeks you don't notice them at all. The slight noise increase is because it has an all metal gearbox, rather than the nylon plastic transmissions that most other machines have these days. having said that, its nothing like the old "Pope" brand wringer machines of the 1960's and 70's. If the F& P machines are "Quiet," I'll rate this one as "Normal." Overall it gets the clothes a lot cleaner than its predeccessor and the spin cycles remove a lot more water.Purchased in at 1300 Washer Speed Queen (via E&S Trading) for $2,895.

Exceptional
I LOVE the machine. I don't have to shake the clothes out before hanging them up as they're not tangled, they're very clean, and it's costing me less in laundry liquid (on the advice of the installer, I use only half the recommended amt). There is no 'woollens wash' cycle, but there is a 'delicates', so I wash my merino and lambswool jumpers on this, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. The noise level depends on the level of water - low you can hear the water sloshing around, but when machine is full, there is little noise. I also very

Almost perfect
Overall its a very good washer machine it washes clothes very well however, the lint on the black garments is a bit of an issue and some of washing cycles is very short, I feel inorder to get a good wash I need repeat the washing cycle.
Finally a tough washing machine
I like to wash my doonas, blankets, towels on a regular basis. I’ve been through 4 supposedly high quality washing machines in the past 10 years none lasting the distance despite looking after them as recommended. Love my new speed queen. Tough, sturdy, doesn’t move at all when it’s washing, clothes come out brilliantly clean despite the extra heavy duty wash with soak cycle only taking 78mins as apposed to 140 on my other models. I’ve never been so excited over a washing machine. Test now is for it to last it’s recommended 25years life span wi

Perfect washing machine
I have owned quite a few washers in just a few years - I have gone from top loader to front and then went back to top load - I previously had another well known brand before the Speed Queen and this hands down is the best machine I have ever owned and used.
This is the old school traditional top loader I have always been looking for. The price may seem steep, but I assure you it is absolutely well worth it. It's built so well and the wash performance is outstanding. Whites are white, colours are bright (I really did notice this with things like

Best Machine Ever
Best decision we made was buying our Speed Queen . After having good brand machines before they just couldn't handle the heavy loads of workwear jeans and shirts without getting out of balance . Would take ages just to do 1 load . I had not heard much about Speed Queen before and when saw reviews thought this has to be the one . Absolutely the best decision ever , very quick loads even when extra large and heavy soiled .and the choice for 2nd or 3rd rinse is great . Very easy to use display and very easy to clean and has never got out of balance , have washed loads of bedding and handles it so easy . Really Best Machine Ever .

No regrets
The machine was bought through Appliances Online but installed by Speed Queen technicians. They did a great job and were friendly and informative. I did extensive research before concluding that the Speed Queen was the only option. Have no regrets. The machine is much quieter than my previous Fisher and Paykel. The most pleasing aspect is the speed, with most washes taking only 37 minutes. Clothes are clean and lint free. It really is an awesome machine.

Speed Queen 100%
I absolutely love the speed queen!! I have never been able to get all my washing complete over the weekend due to the long wash cycles of my old front loader! With the speed queen I am loving starting the week with empty baskets.

Extremely Happy with our purchase
Every bit as good as our last Kleenmaid which served us well for over 18 years. Washing daily anything from delicates, permanent press, woollens heavily soiled loads.
Easy to use control panel,
Excellant cycle options

A great start to an expected long life
We purchased the Speed Queen through Winning Appliances to replace a Maytag top loader we had for over 20 years. After considerable research, we chose the Speed Queen because of the expected quality and long life, similar to the Maytag. We are very happy with the machine so far. Program selection is straight forward and the washing and spin drying have been excellent. Another 20 years of service will probably see it outlive us!

Questions & Answers
Is the AWNE92 Black meant to beep or something when the cycle is finished? Mine doesn’t and I’m wondering if I’ve done something wrong. I have to set alarms so I don’t forget that I’m doing the washing. TIA
My machine simply stops. It makes a sort of loud sighing noise before it stops, that's all. Rather nice, I think. So, no, no beep.
Thanks so much for your quick reply! Yeah the beeping of my old machine was quite alarming. I don't mind the silence, very quiet machine
No. Annie B sums it up in her answer,
Sounds like your 'Signal' button is set to 'Off' The instructions state: "Pressing the Signal keypad will change the end of cycle signal volume. There are four settings: Off, Low, Medium, High."
Holy moly! Thanks so much, I’ve just adjusted it. I really appreciate your help!
Hi I bought the SQ around 4 months ago have to say the whites come out absolutely clean and bright however I can't say the same with dark fleeced garments as they come out covered in lint and NO I don't wash anything with the dark coloured garments may cause the lint I have to use a lint brush to remove the lint in every wash. Please any one have some advice on how to avoid this or do I have a faulty washermachine.
1 question back and 1 other point to ponder.
Is your local water supply hard or soft water? We live in southern Victoria. We have soft water (very few natural minerals in it) and have never had a lint issue. We live with with 2 indoor cats that shed cat fur which gets onto our clothes. Our machine removes it and it gets flushed away with the wash and rinse cycles.
Point to ponder. Maybe at some point in the not too distant past, a tissue or similar has gotten left in the pocket of a pair of pants or a blouse/shirt, and what you are getting is the remains of that, still trapped in the machine? The machine will not create the lint. Something else is going on.
Have you tried buying some Lint Removal Balls and putting them in with the wash? You can get them from Amazon.
See: https://www.amazon.com.au/Lint-Remover-Balls-Set-12/dp/B004YTCIW6
Using them a few times should remove any residual lint that is still contained in the wash bowl.
I appreciate you taking your time and effort to respond to my question. Regarding your question I never had an issue with lint or hard or soft water as matter of fact with my previous WM hence why I needed to ask if there cold be an issue with this machine in terms of forgotten tissue yes there was one time that happened but I don't think that should be on going problem. But will definitely give a those lint balls a try and see if that would fix it. Thank you again.

I don't really know what's going on, but perhaps separate out the dark fleeced items into their own wash, if you're not already doing this. Also, maybe set the washer for a higher level than you have estimated, so there is more water in the machine for this particular wash.
I appreciate your reply, I have always separated my whites, dark and towels in separate loads and the water is always increaaed the level of water but the dark coloured garments always have lint and fluff on them its driving bonkers.
I put your question to "The Boss" (lol).
She says to refer to P 18 of the "Speed Queen Use and Care manual."
That page of the manual says the following.
Excessive lint can be caused by
1) Improper Sorting.
(Solution) " Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed with fabrics that receive lint."
2) Insufficient Detergent or use of Non Phosphate Detergents. (
(Solution:) " Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in the water and is flushed out. Do not oversuds the water."
3) Mixing fabric types.
(Solution:) "Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only with similar items. Use fabric softener in rinse water. "
She also adds that maybe the lint is coming from something in your whites but because of the colour, you are not seeing it in the bowl at the end of the whites wash? Just a thought.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Honestly, I have been following all the steps you presented to me and take good care when sorting out the washing etc. I don't know what else to do but thanks anyway.
