I got that advice too, that it was the only decent one to buy, but in the last year or so, he said they don't make them like they did. Of course, huh? Is anything any good any more?

So, Speed Queen has played a sorta VW (and other corporations) game: because they were inefficient, they weren't fitting into new governmental standards. As a result, they came out with a totally new design (TR series) that increased efficiency. Sales weren't awesome, and people wanted the original back, so they brought the TC5 classic back with an efficient mode (that blows). We bought that one and, other than the two electronic start and deep fill buttons, it's totally analog.

I discovered this after, guess what, extensive research!

Are you stating that this model is good or bad ?

The one in the link is the "classic" they brought back. By putting an eco-friendly setting, they were able to get that model back in the lineup. It's essentially the machine they built their reputation on with a couple tweaks.

Here are a couple other articles for the researchers. The second one goes into how the TC5 was discontinued but then came back in '19.
