![]() ![]() So those negative reviews don't reflect the current models. so after a couple of years they changed it back. Apparently they changed something in 2017 which resulted in a lot of bad reviews. It's such a hard was reading about this last night because this discussion got me interested. I wanted a Speed Queen but I heard they changed them and their rating slipped. ![]() So when I am due for anew appliances I will have to start a new researching, looking at Consumer Reports and reading reviews and ratings. Parts have been replaced with cheaper materials and are basically made to last about 7-8 years. I know Whirlpool owns Maytag, Bosh, Jen-air, Amanda and many others. Now a days the brands were all sold, mainly to Whirlpool. My model # is TR7003WN and I do highly recommend problem is when you have a washer so long, like me things change. But things don't take as long in the dryer now, so that saves electricity which is why I think it might be an energy saving thing. In my old Kenmore, things came out wetter and that meant fewer wrinkles. Clothing on the permanent press cycle comes out more wrinkled than before because it has been spun longer. Things get wrung out much dryer than I was used to, which is great for towels but not so good for wash and wear type items. So far I'm very happy with one exception, and I think it's an environmental regulation thing that is probably the case with all new washers now. There is an autofill choice, but I never use it. It has multiple wash cycles and all of the features I need, especially the ability to set water level at low, medium or high. So I went with the next level up, which does have a touch panel for everything - no dials. There was a lower level model with dials, which are supposed to be less likely to break, but it didn't have all of the features I was used to on my Kenmore Elite. Luckily there was a store nearby that stocked SQ and I was able to look at them on the sales floor. So when I asked my repairman what he recommended and he said Speed Queen, too, I was ready to buy. I also read so many posters recommending SQ. I had read many posts on this forum about washers and knew what features I wanted to avoid. Not sure if it's me you were thinking of, but I bought a Speed Queen washer in early January 2022 to replace my beloved Kenmore Elite that finally died after about 25 years. I am another individual trying to prepare for Mom Speed Queen lovers, can you let us know what year you purchased? I am really wanting to know if users of machines made in last few years are still as pleased as owners of older machines. There was a poster who bought new SQ a few months back and I wonder how that is working out. ![]()
