Very Disappointed Current Speed Queen Owner

I thought my machine was not working. I purchased the machine in December, 2025. After using it for several loads, different settings, I called to have a technician out. My clothes were always damp. He assured me the machine components were working. He told me this is a common complaint they receive.He told me that the moisture sensor is not big enough. They have told speed queen. That doesn't help me. I wish I would have spent half and gotten a big box store brand. This machine has caused me more labor than it's worth.

I was so excited to purchase my first speed queen dryer. The Appliance Place was extremely helpful and had my dryer delivered in just a couple days.
Unfortunately, after having it in my home for 27 days, the new dryer stopped working. We waited a week for a repair man to come to our house to find out the entire output board needed to be replaced. It was extremely discouraging that one of the "best dryers on the market" had a malfunctioning part in the first month. I will definitely think twice before spending the money to purchase the matching washing machine, or recommending speed queen to friends and family.

We finally made the decision to purchase a speed queen washer/ dryer set in Nov . Best decision we have ever made . My purchase price 13 yrs ago for a non speed queen set was only $300 less & not even close with how this set functions day to day . I'm confident this won't disappoint .

We had a Kenmore "high efficiency" washer with no agitator, which on its best day took an hour to complete a noisy cycle. I say this because now I am often surprised the Speed Queen's wash cycle is finished so quickly even when I add an extra rinse to the cycle.
This machine is quiet, efficient and gets laundry clean with no residue left on items such as sweaters in lingerie bags.
I am delighted my dear hubby bought this machine for my birthday present. 😊😊😊

must invest in a Speed Queen
Gynny

My story starts 34 years ago when my wife and I got married. At that time my grandmother said that for our wedding present she would like to get us a washer and dryer. She said that we could buy anything we wanted but that it had to be a Maytag (not today's Maytag). For the first 20 years of our marriage along with three kids the old Maytag was good. However in the last 14 years we have been through three sets of supposedly good quality washers and dryers, and I can fix anything but not circuit boards or junk. The last set (Maytag lasted 3 years with only my wife and I in the house). I learned about Speed Queen through my son and did lots of research. Two months ago we purchased a new 5 series washer and dryer from a local dealer. The first time I laid eyes on a Speed Queen I fell in love. What I saw was very like the old Maytag machines that we purchased 34 years ago but better. They are fantastic, and we are 100% positive that they will last for the balance of lives. Don't get another washer and dryer every couple of years, just invest in a lifetime washer and dryer now. They are more expensive for initial purchase but much less expensive over time. You may ask why I am so sure of the quality. Like I said I can fix / disassemble and reassemble anything and on day one I completely disassembled the dryer so that I could configure it for side vent discharge (knockouts to allow) so that I could install 4" closer to the wall. Everything inside these machines are rock solid designed for years of heavy use. The side vent option was not hard at all (needed to get a short pipe and two elbows) but was disappointed that Speed Queen nor anyone else had any directions or videos of how to do. I did it with ease but would have felt more comfortable about tearing apart a brand new dryer if there was a guide or video. In hind site I should have recorded and posted but it's too late now. With Speed Queen you are not buying a necessity appliance, you are investing in a one time lifetime investment for your family. I wish that I would have known about Speed Queen 14 years ago after my first 20 year old Maytag washer and dryer died. I am certain that if I would have known of Speed Queen 14 years ago and purchased them when my old school Maytags died, that they would sill be here and running great. With that said I wish that 34 years ago my grandmother would have known of Speed Queen because she would have said "any washer and dryer but it must be a Speed Queen".

Quiet, though dryer makes a thumpa thunpa noise at the beginning of the cycle I wonder if is normal. Seems to use less water, but clothes still get clean. Overall I love the machines, but do have some suggestions. Wish there was a way to choose a rinse only cycle. Hate the locked cover as I often find that run away sock after I've started the machine. Wish the dryer had the extended tumble available on the less dry setting.

Recently purchased. As with the washing machine waited several weeks for delivery ,salesman explained this at purchase. Was disappointed as the door clip broke before first load was in the machine. We were extremely disappointed when we were told it could be several days before it could be resolved.

Sad Customer
11/7/2025
We have received two dryers, model #DR5004WG, since October 2, 2025. The first one had a defective motor that made a clicking sound. It came out of the box that way. The installer said it would stop within an hour. It never did. Eventually the store we bought it from contacted Speed Queen and was able to get a new one sent to us.
The second dryer began making a high pitched squealing sound a couple days after delivery. Instead of going through the dealer again, I called an appliance repair company and have service scheduled to look at it. If it is major, I will again be calling the appliance store that we purchased from.

The dryer has very nice features and performs well Two minor misses - I had a timed dry choice from 0-60 minutes on my 10 year old dryer. This only allows either 30 minutes or 60 minutes. Also there's no time left display, which was on my old dryer. If it had these 2 features I would have rated it 5 stars

So far, best dryer we've purchased. Large drum that doesn't wrap our queen blankets into a ball that I have to keep pulling out, unwrap & put back for longer drying time.
Steam feature is the first I've had in a dryer, still figuring out all settings. But fantastic so far!

DR5004WE Dryer Review
Zole
11/2/2025
The Speed Queen DR5004WE Dryer I purchased was a replacement for a 30-year-old commercial heavy-duty dryer that was another brand that finally stopped working. I wanted to replace the old dryer with something comparable in terms of quality and dependability. Speed Queen was the ONLY brand that met that criterion. Also, from what I remember, my parents owned a Speed Queen washer and dryer in the 1960's and 1970's and loved them.

This dryer doesn't dry properly when I use the auto-dryness feature. Invariably it stops before the clothes are dry. I've tried small loads, separating lighter and heavier clothes, cleaning out the filter between loads. It doesn't matter. 60-minute timed loads do better, but for what we paid for this, I expect the auto-dry feature to work properly and for the clothes to dry completely.

I purchased my DR5 dryer after it was recommended to me by a friend. It is quiet and easy to use. My only complaint is that there have been occasions when the clothes (heavy items, jeans, towels) don't get totally dry. I just add some time to it or lay it out to dry. It could be my fault for putting a heavy item in with lighter weight items. I'd rather have 1 or 2 items slightly damp than have all the lighter items over drying.

Good Quality with Some Shortcomings

While I'm happy with the quality of my new Speed Queen dryer, I find the door incredibly difficult to open and close without pulling very hard & slamming it shut. Both actions actually move the dryer and I always have to reposition it. Also, I would prefer a timer that would give me more options than 30 or 60 minutes. Thank you.

I absoluitely love this dryer. We switched from Electric to propane as we live on a farm, and believe me I have a LOT of laundry. This is the BEST BEST dryer that I have ever owned. I also have the matching washing machine, which I have had a few years already. After my older dryer went out, I suggested we get this one. I love it so much. It has all the bells and whistles yet it is easy to figure out and operate too, especially for a senior like myself. I love the steam setting on it and everything about it. Thank you Speed Queen, and the BIGGEST perk is the 5 yr. warranty and that it's made in the USA!!!!!

I wish I could give this a 5 but I'm very disappointed with how it dries. Takes forever. I use auto sense for efficiency but I am constantly having to reset as clothes are NOT coming out dry even when I am choosing "dry"...I thought long and hard about what appliances to buy. I decided to pay more hoping that Speed Queen would be the best choice. Not so sure.

This dryer doesn't dry and required 4 service calls (and counting) to try and repair. We tried multiple cycles. At one point it took 3 sanitize, heavy duty cycles. Now it won't dry at all. I'm told they'll try one more repair and then make me try another repair shop opinion. I haven't been able to dry clothes properly for months. I've had this dryer for just over 3 months. Replace it with a new or different/better one.

The machine is simple to use. There are 3 dials on the machine. It is impossible to not be able to use it. Speed Queen are known for their durability and warranty. Washers and dryers should not be "smart" or connected to wifi. They should plug in and work. These will last years.

I have been very frustrated using this dryer. I have called customer service more than once. Most loads dry now but I still have an issue with the "delicates" cycle. That cycle has yet to completely dry a load. My answer from customer service that it is likely an installation problem. The builder came and replaced vent on roof but that load cycle still does not dry. Clothes are more than damp.

I previously bought a Speed Queen washer, which worked well. However, I am very unhappy with this dryer. Basically, the only setting that works for me is timed dry, which only has options of 30 minutes or 60 minutes. I would like to be able to select a wider range of time options, like my GE dryer let me do. I also expected the autosensing to work, which it doesn't, unless you spend a lot of time sorting the laundry by fabric weight before putting it in the dryer and then use their recommended temperature settings. I like to just put in all my laundry together in a load and dry it on low heat. If I do that and try autosensing, the laundry comes out sopping wet, hardly dried at all. That is unacceptable lack of functionality for such an expensive dryer.

I bought the Speed Queen make based on a friend's recommendation. The dryer is well made and easy to use. However, I find that it doesn't;t fully dry the clothes when on the delicate cycle AND the clothes come out with grey and black streaks. I don't know what is causing this, but based on this alone, I would never recommend this particular dryer. I am extremely disappointed especially for what we paid. It's a brand new dryer. WHY is it leaving grey marking nd black streaks on the clothing?
