MODERN WASHING MACHINES - THEIR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

I have a used washer and I re-agitate my stuff all the time. I've always used older , better, made vehicles and appliances. The best feature of my vehicles is that they're paid for.

nice story I am a old school guy love your stuff

We bought brand new Maytag washer and dryer, 10yrs ago, haven’t had a single issue, NOTHING, even with our very hard water. We NEVER use hot water, everything comes out clean, even on the delicate cycle. The units are made/assembled in the USA, and have been dead nuts reliable. The only thing I have done is properly clean them, but I’ve only done that a couple times in 10yrs. Also we have 4 people in our family, so it’s not like we only do one load of wash a month, people need to learn how to take care of their appliances!

Just bought a Speed Queen washer dryer set. I gotta say this video was in the back of my mind, I almost went with the Maytag commercial set but decided to check out the Speed Queens, my wife really liked the TR7 and I really liked the 7 year full warranty!

We ordered a set before Thanksgiving and we are still waiting on them to come in. People are tired of throw away appliances I know we are. Our current washer and dryer about 4 years old are in constant need for repair

Can ya'll list the model numbers of the machines you purchased. Thanks, great video

My older Maytag w/ limited electronics lasted 27 yrs. As of today I have now gone through two electronic heavy Maytags in 5 yrs. This one lasted not quite 3 yrs. Which model Speed Queen washer did you get? Do you recommend a specific company to order from? Thanks

I am thankful for this video. I need a new washer and have been dealing with the new yuky kind for 14 years.

What Model?

What model # is the washing machine?

Midwest humor is very good.. just depends on who is making the humor.. I often tell very creative "out there" jokes, word plays stories.. much better than snarky sarcasm or insult jokes, those are so tired and not funny..But you got to be out there and creative to do that..like how I do.

Jack stop

Could we get some model numbers please?

What a waste of time watching. I wanted go see the agitator work and pull the clothes down. Basically only an unboxing. Only slightly informative. So disappointed.

My Sears washing machine is 20 years old... my Sears refrigerator is 27!! Have a 6yr digital electric dryer, LG from Sears still going strong... but I baby it. Turn off the breaker to it anytime we are away or during power outages and storms.

Can you please tell us the model number? Would much appreciate it as we're ready for a new one.

That washer still has a computer in it

On the old fridge contest they just took it from him as part of the deal

After our front loader with bells and whistles kicked the can after 3 years.... we went back to a top loader speed queen .... was told the 2016 and older ones were the ones to get... so we got a lightly used 2015 model...

Congratulations on your new laundry appliances. I was considering Speed Queen but there are very many mixed reviews of their new agitation system from the previous 2017 and older models. Have you found any issues with getting very soiled clothes clean with the new machine with the new agitation design?

I retired 2 years ago from a major appliance repair company after 42 years and i will tell any that will listen all appliances built today are a piece of crap.I mainly blame the goverment High -efficiency is code for not working as good as they could.

all ew speed queens have boards even ones with knobs they have motor control boards lower left corner but speed are the best ive serviced them for 24 yrs

YES. YES. AND Y E S ‼️

I have a 1943 Servel propane fridge at my cabin it still works. It’s amazing.

Dislike - First, that unit does have a lid lock. The only unit Speed Queen makes without is the TC5000, you bought the TR5000. Second, that unit is an HE unit, that's what Autofill means and it's "normal" cycle is an Eco cycle (also an HE option). Lastly, that unit has a giant motherboard behind the knobs and status indicator lights, just like the digital versions you can't seem to handle. That's why it has a "touch" start and nothing to flip to start it. Any laundry or appliance video that doesn't start with, "Stop going to big box stores to learn about appliances!" is probably going to end up like this one, a seemingly nice couple who have fun making videos. Nothing wrong with that for entertainment. BUT, the saving grace is the fact that Speed Queen (with their faults) still does build the best laundry on the market, just not for any of the reasons you talked about.

The water heater in my house has been working flawlessly for over 50 years, and I just can't bring myself to change it out for a new one. I suspect a new one would fail after a year or two.

l have had my Maytag set since 1991 when I bought them used. Ive replaced a $12.00 seal on the washer about 7-6 years ago and a set of felt gaskets about $8.00 on the dryer I believe about 4-3 years ago. They run nice smooth and quiet I wouldn't dream of getting rid of them. I have friends that are on there 3rd sets of these new fandangoed sets.. Cheers!

Driver fell asleep and took out the pole and transformer on my road. The resulting power surge from the transformer being destroyed ruined the computer boards in my neighbors furnaces and washing machines. I didn't know that mundane appliances were sensitive to power disruptions.

I would go for Speed Queen instead of LG and Samsung!!!

How much do they cost?

“They would wash their horse” 😂😂😂😂 Underrated joke.

Which model did you buy?

There is a standard for dryer plugs!

My newer maytag has stopped completely spinning out water.I need to see if it's under warranty...says ten years but most parts excluded...

I'm sure that you guys are enjoying your new W&D. I bought a Commercial series Speed Queen W&D last year, and happened to get a (free) 10 year warranty when I purchased. SO glad that I got rid of my Samsung HE. The Speed Queen cleans much better and is EXTREMELY fast compared to the Samsung.

Would this be a good choice if you have to pay for water?

They are electronic controls even though it looks like old school timer

I have a Maytag belt driven drum washer that has been working well since 1995. Apparently they have changed their design and manufacturing quality since then though.

Speed queen is the best..still made with 100% real premium stainless steel, gears made of steel and a 5yr warranty. (Old appliance repair guy) and only have worked on 2 in 25yrs.

Only if they knew there's nothing old school about the about most new Speed Queen they are all electronic with knobs

were did you buy the Speed Queens?

I will spend 20 hours of labor and endless time troubleshooting and tracking down parts to keep anything old in service. Anything with a computer part will never win as a replacement for longevity

Dangerous to let their kid go in there. Now she will look at it and try it again. She can die in there if she’s not supervised and gets in there. Tisk tisk tisk

Almost my favourite video!

I have done appliances for 30 years... Whirlpool is the best, even their newer side load tech like I have now is 11 yrs old and do awesome. If old tech is what u need, they still have some models.I understand wanting old tech, and to save money buy the Amana the knock off brand for low tech economy prices.

How much do they cost?

The electronic control in my stand alone freezer crapped out over a month ago. I bypassed it and am running the compressor and fan from a $3.99 timer. Its been great.

I wish I would have seen this video 6 mos. ago when I bought a pair of Maytags which do not clean and only works in one mode now because it broke after a month. It also requires expensive cleaning tablets every month.

Do you still like your Speed Queen washer and dryer? Looking to purchase new ones soon.

Modern washers are JUNK

Why have so many Americans suddenly started saying "right here" and "right there" and "right now" all the damn time?........

The new maytags are horrible.I should have spent the same money on rebuilding my old washer at least it worked well and would last another 20 years.

I bought a hi efficiency washer. Waste of money. I always turn eco wash off, or it sometimes rips my clothes due to not enough water.

How much $ and size are the appliances you bought?? I live in NY , I’ve heard of speed queen but nobody has them around here I’d have to see about ordering online.

I have a full automatic gravity drain costway washing machine that uses one third the power, and cleans two times better than these new pieces of junk front loaders

30 seconds of garbage..next video!

Out first washer and dryer when my wife and I got married was a second hand Speed Queen. I think we had those for about 25 years and they worked great. Didn't know you could still buy Speed Queen. My wife and I are actually looking for a new washer and dryer and will have to look at the Speed Queen.

The only problem with Speed Queen that I have found is that they don't make large capacity machines. They make one size (fits all). However, they ARE the best out there.

ill be back in 60 years to make sure this works well. thanks

What are the capacities for the units? Model numbers would also be helpful. Thanks.

Same machines the state prison uses in inmate housing units.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that speed queen is electronically controlled. How to you think it works with no timer and auto fill options?

Sounds like we had the same journey! We now have a Speed Queen washer as well! Love it!❤

Nothing gets clothes as clean as a wringer washer .

By the size of your back door, you might want to put a doorstop on the floor so it doesn't hit the washer. It might not hit it but it sure looks like it in the video

I love Mrs W's clogs, are they wooden soled?

Miele

Immediately threw down a thumbs up when I heard the sarcastic “thank you Obama!’ :)

Speed Queen isnt as good as it used to be. maytag commercial is better and cheaper. miele is good too.

Yes... Speed Queen is the way to go... I don't want a Samsung to break down and wait 4 weeks for a part!

I have had terrible experiences with the high efficiency front loads. Some Of my clothes wouldn’t even get wet the entire cycle.

HE is such a hoax. Less water, yet cycles take forever to complete and then clothes come out dirty - real efficient - NOT! Here`s hoping my 26year old Maytag last me another 26 years Please keep us updated on how you are liking this SpeedQueen

Wow thanks for the wisdom. Was not aware these was still being made. Oldies But Goodies are the best.

They're

POINT PLEASE! I learned more from the comments.

For what it's worth, I am using a Fisher & Paykel brand dryer I bought in 1999 this very minute. ( Electronics still work )

I have no problems with an he fount load washing machine.

It only took 1 month for me to grow so disappointed with my new washer and dryer so I understand.

Now we need to know which Refrigerator is best?

Just got rid of my Kenmore dryer after 47 years. Still working but didn’t turn off when it was opened. Had to turn off manually. Harvest gold color. Hope I have good luck with my new one.

Washing machines for the lower IQ set. Good for you guys.

Mrs.W is a great addition to videos she bring light to every video she is in.

When people grow up they become a conservative. Im 20 years old and use to be a liberal just like most people my age but im more mature than most people my age so I guess I became a conservative sooner than all the people my age but I guarantee they will all be conservative soon.

Even speed queen is not good anymore they had to conform to the federal regulations like everybody else unless you’re getting an old pre-2016 speed queen you’re still getting a piece of garbage

Oh that countertop looks like mine called wild sea granite.

Super Speed Queens can take the abuse. Excellent choice

I had a Maytag washer and dryer for 20 years and repaired them myself many times but it became harder and harder to find parts. I did a lot of online research before replacing them and found that the newer Speed Queens were not quite as good as the older units. I ended up going with the Maytag Commercial units. Very similar to Speed Queen, only available in white, top loading, knobs instead of fancy displays, doesn't play electronic music when the load is finished. These babies fill the tub all the way to the top and have an actual agitator that doesn't just wiggle back and forth. It screws your clothes from top to bottom in the tub and completely swirls everything.

Mr. Wranglerstar gets another honeydew item. (9:42) Hand on his shoulder she gives him the smile he hasn't been able to resist since he first saw her. His hands go in his pockets, his heart skips a beat, he thinks oh oh, what now, new addition, new porch, rotate the chicken coop, this could be trouble. (9:58) Whew, not so bad... that will go right after item number 46 Fix bedroom door.

Refrigerator efficiency improvement is driven by much improved insulation. It drives the structure and the insulation. It goes in a minute from a liquid to a solid foam that rises and fills the space. Motors are better also.

Speed Queen is the best manufacture there is...hands down.

Please give updates as to how these machines are working out for you!

Which models are these? Thanks!

So glad I came across this video!! I HATE the new fangled washers!! They are a joke! They have to be invented by a single minimalist that has never washed more than a half a load at a time and for sure never gets really sweaty and dirty! 🤭😉 I’m really not an angry person but they messed with something that wasn’t broken and now the system is broken. I wish I would have know about speed queen 3 years ago when we bought our Maytag set. Y’all are really cute and fun! Thanks for sharing.

$20.00 forearm forklift straps were on the hook next to the dollies at home depot ..........I deliver appliances and I wouldn't do it without those ...................................30amp 220 volts

I too would have purchased Speed Queen for the same reason as you BUT, the low spin speed is a deal breaker. I LOVE the high spin speed of our Fisher & Paykel top loading, simple, direct drive washer. Makes life easier for our 20 year old, pilotless, Fisher & Paykel GAS drier. Oh, and your wife's smile is amazing. What a sweetheart!

Exactly, I much prefer the old school washing machines. The new ones cost a fortune and don’t clean well.

Had my same modern front load set for 15 years with no problems, and no bad smell. If I ever have to replace, will continue to stay modern.

You guys are awesome! Blessings :)
