MODERN WASHING MACHINES - THEIR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

I have been married for 24 years and we have been through 4 sets of washer and dryers. Our current set is Samsung junk. I have been working on them since they were 1 year and 10 days old. They are now about 4 years old and we just ordered the speed queen’s Saturday. I just pray that our just as expensive Samsungs last the 4-9 weeks it will take to get our speed queens. American made by Americans.

I went from watching the F2 52 washer and dryer but that is true the speed queen rules I found that out when I had to put a new drum gear thing was a stater on mine you couldn’t replace just the gear you had to replace the whole thing so I went to the laundromat talk to the laundry mat owner about their cool machines that last a long time but cost a lot for the heavy duty ones but those speed queens are like grandpa’s

'Poor' is a state-of-mind. 'Broke', however, is just a financial position... and that can be changed.

No regrets for paying extra 8 years ago for the Speed Queen. Built like a tank, no circuit board gizmo, never loud vibrations, thumping or dancing around.

what model number for the washer and dryer?

Your wife is fun:)

Sounds like my wife with her magical language, "Honey do list." I love it! Semper Fi

What model of speed queen are these?

Do you guys rent or own that house.

Oh my gosh. Went thru the same thing a few years ago. Bought the high efficiency and the the clothes always smelled bad. Decided to return to old school and have never looked back. High efficiency are terrible. Don’t waist your money. Jon

Find someone who looks at you the way Mrs. W looks at Mr.W

Had a national brand washer die after 4 years. Replaced it with a USED coin-op washer that had the coin slot thingy in it. It lasted 12 years in my house. In total it was 20 years old when it died.

You your wife should do some videos together

REAL MEN NEED REAL WASHERS! LOL

should have got the tc5000 and dc5000. no difference in the dryers but your washer is the new design speed queen , the tc is the classic design that has been in use for around 35 years , minimal electronics , and no lid lock ! what you got is better than any other brand though , just not the speed queen that the reputation of the company was built on

SPEED QUEEN non electronic TOP LOAD clothes washing machines are FANTASTIC! I have a TOP LOAD washing machine that i let my renters use, over 4000 loads......no problems! No electronics, no sensors, no HEADACHES! Get the TOP LOAD........... get clean clothes! I soak my clothes in the speed queen washer for an hour before turning on the wash cycle! What a difference!

I needed a new washer. Thanks to this video I researched Speed Queen and purchased their TR5 model on Monday. It is being delivered Wednesday. I can't believe I am this excited for a washer!...

We went to buy a washer. We said, "we don't want pins and whistles" . The sales person looked at us like we were crazy.

You are a sexy machine

I’m an appliance technician and you can no longer get the Speed Queen with the push and turn timer. You can still get the option for a full tub of water, but they have gone with the digital dial interface. The model you want to get that is laundromat industrial grade is TC5000WN. It’s called the “Classic” model. They are identical to the old style other than the digital timer. Do not buy any other model since they are modular designed. (Just like all the other bottom feeder machines)

My step father owned 3 Laundry mats

We just bought a speed queen also 😂 I love it !

The new high efficiency washers only drain half of the dirty water, that is why they are considered high efficiency. So when it fills back up you still have half of your dirty nasty water in there. This goes for commercial washers also at laundromats.

How is the set performing?

Those heavy cardboard angle packing bits make excellent vice soft vice jaws,when cut to length

Best choice for your washer and drier...too many side stories.

Nice and there only $2200 bucks a set.

I've got a two year old LG front loader, and it's got a "sanitary" cycle that I use for sheets and towels, that goes extra-hot to kill bacteria. It's also got its own heating element, so I could supply it cold water only and it would work the same. As far as cleaning, it works very well because of the high speed spin cycle getting more of the dirty water out of the clothes before the rinse. Also, since I got it, the clothes have a lot less water left in them at the end of the cycle, so I only need about a third of the drying time that I needed with my ancient top-loader.

They work great if you add a bit of trisodium phosphate to your laundry detergent.

The Mrs. definitely has Nordic blood running through her.

Front load washers are the worst. Pretty soon I'll be able to get rid of mine.

Nothing more homestead-like than using as many resources as possible. Super sustainable.

It hits the old look so it must be better but unfortunately it doesn't clean as good as the modern stuff. If you actually look at the reviews of it cleaning, its middle of the pack.

Would love to know which set of Speed Queen washer/Dryer you went with.

I love this!! I didn't know anyone makes a good non-electronic washer today. I'm ready to shoot the modern GE that we use. There's nothing like filling up a washer full of water and the washer decides it needs to drain the water out of the tank instead of actually washing the clothes. Thank you for this!

Got a newer maytag bravos..clothes stay wet..I hope I bought extended warranty

I was looking for new washers... was really wanting to go for a 5+ cubic foot top load. May have changed my mind...

I like the Leonard DiCaprio hair on jack

I love those old ones. The new ones takes for dam near ever to wash my clothes those other ones a few minutes and it was done

Just boil wash your clothes

Power steering by Armstrong. Get it? Misses W old car.

My little bro been in the business for about 25 years. I buy mine used, the old standard variety that's been around forever. He says they're the best.

I would love to know the make and model. Or maybe a link to the pair you bought. I'm definitely in the market for one myself.

Mrs W got the fizz as did you as well

❤️ Blessed by your family

Got a dryer from the 60s an that thing rocks. Went thru lots of new washers but the old dryer still kicks

You're wrong about no electronics. All current Speed Queen topload washer models (TR7, TR5, TR3, and TC5) have a computer board in the console. The rotary knobs are selectors for the board. The cycle selector on the washer is not a mechanical timer. It doesn't start at a Wash position and rotate to Off at the finish. It'll be at the same position at end of the cycle as it was at the start. Get a screwdriver, open the console, you'll see the electronics in there.

Which model did you get ??? Etc.

I use a Maytag wringer washer and always will. Minimal replacement parts, metal parts when metal parts were METAL.... cleans your clothes like NOTHING else....actually faster than the modern, "efficient" washers that leave actual dirt on your clothes and the cycle takes an hour. I found a source for new parts and will NEVER use another machine.

$200 spent on a 2.5 year old used Whirlpool Cabrio (all modern electronics) to replace the old analog Frigidaire washer that failed and flooded half my house. Run it on deep water setting so the wash gets enough water. It's okay, but I can't wash heavy stuff in it because it won't stay in balance on spin cycle. Going back to the old style with big agitator when this one dies. Maybe a Speed Queen. Thanks for the info.

The funny thing is. I was on holiday in North Wales and this old couple, still had a really lot tv. When they turned it on, it actually knocked off the all the internet in there village. HaHaHa 😂😂😂😂😂❤️🙏💖

I’ve been trying to get my wife to change back to the old washer and dryers but she hasn’t budged yet. Buying new every 3 or 4 years is getting kinda old.

We've had our Speed Queen ten years. Still runs perfectly.

The warranty went out on our washer in June and now it's broke. 🙄 I'm with you. I'd much rather have an old style washer.

I had a Speed Queen W/D set that I ran for 26 years and never had to do a thing to them.

We bought a new HE Speed Queen washer six months ago and haven't had a clean load of laundry since. Low water, low speed agitator, short wash cycles. We tried a HE Maytag from Home Depot and had the same results. Guess we'll just have to get used to stiff, dingy clothes with all this new technology. Try getting an honest answer from any of the sales people; they blame it all on California's energy standards!

I thought it was a washing machine so wouldn't it be a clean little secret 🤣

Speed Queen for me next! My 11 year old Amana will need replacing because can't get the circuit board anymore and its already been repaired twice. Love your videos!

We love our Speed Queen washer and dryer. One of the convincing factors when we bought them was that they are what the Amish use because they are the only ones that can get the manure stains out.

Do those work on the European/Benelux electronic system?

Speed Queens they got are the new TR series. Highly debated redesigned agitator and drum (doesn’t clean as well). Speed Queen brought back the Classic TC5 because many speed queen fans like old school wash agitation compared to the TR5. Let’s see how these TR series’s clean. Consumer reports and other USmuchs channels giving bad reviews to the slow wash action that doesn’t clean stains. And yes all new speed queens have electronics/ computer boards regardless of series.

This is why we still have our almost 32 year old Maytag washer and dryer. Made in U.S.A. by Maytag. Simple and old school. Have only replaced a few things and they are very easy to work on.

Should have gone with the speed queen classic instead. Big difference in washability

*Some folks confuse these failures with the term known as Planned Obsolescence. These are obsolete machines! The old 'manual washboard' is obsolete (at least it is, in our modern day society).* *These machines have been designed/engineered to DIE AN EARLIER THAN EXPECTED DEATH (but also, to die after the warranty has expired, of course). It's really sad... and these companies that follow this unethical process of designing/manufacturing these flawed products should be be absolutely ashamed of themselves!*

I love their commercial washers but they cost $5k-10k

Great video Cody @WranglerStar

I have the new Samsung dual load smart washer and dryer and me and my wife love them has the main front load and had a small load option on the top for small quick items and I still have my old whirlpool washer and dryer just like these outside for my greasey clothing from work so my greasey clothing isn't in my wifes new units @wranglerstar

I dunno, if you buy a decent HE setup, read the directions, and know what you are doing, they work excellent. Whatever works for you though!

No power steering is better then no steering Cody

' your mother just pointed out this may not have been my best idea . can i try my bed now ? this is not really your bed i was just joking . this is mama's washing machine ' . so cute and so funny , rofl

No you only go to jail if you live in California

You and your better half are a hoot. She has an infectious laugh.

What are the specific models of the washer and dryer?

I bought a speed queen washer and dryer almost 10 yrs ago. (Still use em) At the time I was enjoying an all expense paid vacation curtesy of the USAF. The new dryer started leaving black spots on the clothes. The appliance outfit who installed it came out and looked at it, said it was user caused and charged the family for a service call. When I got back, I tore the thing apart and discovered that the drum rollers are rubber and they create a fine dust that get sucked into the heating element and ends up on your clothes. Best bet is to find harder drum rollers, or don’t put whites in dryer when dryer is new.

Speed Queen are great. The only issue is that they don't make oversize options AFAIK, which Whirlpool does, as well as offering stainless wash baskets (drastically minimizes rust stains). Whirlpool's commercial grade, whatever the labeled brand, is available w/ physical knobs and do have reliability similar to Speed Queen. Check out Atskos Sportswash for the best regular use laundry detergent!

You must hope that America comes out of its trance because The Green New Deal will make that equipment illegal!

A good senator named Rand Paul tried to explain to the green idiots [democrats] that the specs for water usage per load the government is requiring is putting the American made appliance manufactures out of business [not to mention the super high repair cost]. Now we toilets that have to flushed twice and wash machines that are to expensive to run.

So you don't know how to repair electronics, and your ignorance of the subject and inability to fix it yourself is their fault. That about it? Not in your comfort zone so don't bother learning and blame ”them”. Let's not hear you complain about people throwing away perfectly fixable tools because of their own lazy indifference.

Was there any content at all in here about the dirty little secrets? I found this video completely useless

Which model did you buy? I'm sick of our 'he' washer

Unless it has something to do with me I don't care =conservative How many so called conservatives will now wear mask...lol

Grt an older whirlpool or kenmore ...parts are super cheap and easy to fix

Wise purchase Wranglestar. I like your thinking on this. Keep it simple and build it solid.

should have got the tc5

You are so right on what you say. I am done with the new junk. I bought a ring washer.

If you think that thing doesn't have electronics, I've got news for you. Take the 2 5/16 screws off of the bottom of the front panel and see the PCB. Oh yeah, take the control panel cover off of the back and the other board. Oh yeah, that thing is programmed at the factory to conserve water. Sorry to burst your bubble.

In the 70's when they were pushing efficiency in cars it often just means less. Less power. So was it more efficient in getting from one point to the other? In a sense. But that didn't mean more useful work per unit of gas.

Loved the video! You guys are so cute together.

For those of us who live in areas that have limited well capacity along with poor perking soils appreciate minimizing water usage so the side loaders help. Most gas dryers do not have a pilot now but a glow plug and sensor. Electric is $$$ in our area but propane is cheap hence gas for dryer and cooktop

Gas dryers have pilot lights?

Front loaders are a moldy mess. Even keeping the door open when not in use doesn’t help the mold issue. I’m done with them.

stick with the old mechanical type remember them things vibrate and nothing like last long in transportation

When we got our speed queen the dealer misled us and said we couldn’t get one with just knobs. Ours has digital buttons

I think you bought the wrong model, you need to get the classic clean one with the real agitator. the one you bought has an agitator paddle and only swishes the clothes a little

I have old Kenmore's that I fix if something goes wrong

I recently went back to the OLD school washer and so glad I did. I had 2 HE washers go out at 4 year's. So when it went out I said no more. I found a old school super heavy oversize capacity plus by Maytag I paid 185.00 for it it works like a dream! It has a stainless steel tub I have NEVER been happier! Brought it home gave it a scrub down and now we can wash comforters and no longer have to take them to the laundromat! It looked brand spanking new when we bought it so who ever had it had taken excellent care of it. No rust stains nor scratch marks. Yes I'm in love with my washer❤

Put your foot in middle of dolly....on wheel ...if load goes crazy...your foot pays he price. In the middle...not as effective, but much safer.

This is GREAT news that someone is still making these types of washers. This is what I want when I have a house eventually.

Are those red kap pants

👍👍
