We have it, and it's awesome—huge loads done in 35 minutes! And, maybe because we replaced an older machine, we never noticed any water use difference (and use cold for everything).

So, Dan, if you're looking for the classically-built Speed Queen, you'll be looking for the TC5. It still uses a digital panel rather than analogue knobs, but the machine itself is the bulletproof one SQ built its reputation on.

Oh thanks so much for that, it's good to know. So if anybody does decide on the SQ we just need to be careful of the model. Yup, no surprise government regulations mess everything up. They think they are saving us from the world or the world from us and it ends up a bigger mess.
