Performance
Speed Queen washers are known for their heavy-duty drive motors that bring you the power and balance to effectively clean heavy loads, whether you’re tackling soiled work clothes, stained towels, dirtied blankets—and more. In addition, Speed Queen machines allow you to wash an entire load of laundry in 30 to 40 minutes, which is rather quick when you consider that many washers from competing brands may take up to an hour to get the job done.
Rather than following suit with competitors’ tech-forward innovations, Speed Queen focuses on the basics to give you top-of-the-line washing performance without all the bells and whistles. This is especially true of the brand’s top load washers, which feature heavy-duty components and minimal electronic controls to ensure reliability and a straightforward user experience.
Price Range
Speed Queen washing machines retail for a relatively high-end price. Speed Queen top load washers are valued anywhere between $1,049 to $1,269 while the higher-ticketed Speed Queen front load washers cost between $1,779 to $2,119.
