Product review (1 stars): Poor quality control, incorrect information in manual
Disclaimer - I bought this from a local appliance store so they would take my 30 year old Maytag away (very sorry to see it go!) and provide service if needed.  Which was fortunate, because when first plugged in the unit wouldn't even power up.  They opened the control panel and found two loose connectors that needed to be plugged together.  So much for Speed Queen's claim that every unit is factory tested.

I did my first load with a "warm" wash setting, only to find the water freezing cold when the tub had filled (northeast part of the country here, our cold water is really cold in the winter).  A "hot" water setting didn't do any better.  Turns out the washer will start the fill with hot water then, depending on load size setting, switch over to cold water after only 25 - 75 seconds, at which point it fills the rest of the tub with only cold water.  So the result is always pretty darned cold.

You'd think they could at least tell you in the user manual that's how it works, but they don't.  I believe this is a government mandated "feature" like the one that requires your rinse water always be cold, but I specifically bought the Speed Queen with the belief it was more like my old Maytag and had fewer electronic "nannies" interfering with my washing.  Obviously I was wrong.  This unit is going back to wherever it came from.  Think I'll look for a used Maytag!

P.S. As far as washing is concerned, it loves to twist sheets into knots.  I never had that problem with my old top loader.
