Re: Speed Queen - Horizon Front Loaders
Overall, I have been very happy with them. They do a very good job in the final spin. Get as much water out as possible and keep the drying time low. One thing that they do that seems strange to customers.....when they spin after the wash.....it really isn't much of a spin....the drum speeds up a little and then slows down.....speeds up and slows down. At times I wonder if this is an out of balance situation, but each machine does this most of the time. I thought they would crank up like a final high RPM spin but they don't. In spite of this they seem to be doing the job just fine.
I also do not like the fact that there is very little that I can change in the program cycles. I don't have my owners manual with me right now, but I think I can only set the machine for 1 wash, 2 rinse, OR 1 wash, 3 rinse, OR 1 wash, 2 rinse and a super spin. Well, I have enough spin the way it is so I leave it at the factory default with option 1. I find it strange that the wash cycle is only 2 minutes and 45 seconds. That is right out of the owners manual. Before that there is a 6 minute prewash/fill with tumbling action.....so maybe the manufacturer considers that part of the wash cycle. I just think that 2:45 is way to short and I would like to shorten the final spin but I can't. The total cycle is 27 minutes when you add in other spins and rinses. Like I said earlier......it works OK......but if anyone knows a way to change these I would like to hear about it. I have been through the manual and talked with service tech and it seems there is nothing I can do.
In spite of the comments above, I think they are a good machine.
