DOLLARS & SENSE

There’s a cost to your multi-family laundry room—and your residents—when you go cheap

Whether your building is home to a handful of residents or hundreds, breakdowns in your laundry room drive expenses, inefficiencies and complaints. Only the toughest, longest-lasting machines will do for multi-housing laundry.

If you’ve ever moved a Speed Queen washer and a competitor’s, you know the difference—roughly 66 pounds for those keeping score. All that weight is testament to Speed Queen’s quality.

We could build a lighter machine…select less rugged components and materials…fill it with cheap plastic. We could do that. But we won’t.

02

Get Greater Life Span with a Porcelain Enamel Outer Drain Tub

It’s no secret Speed Queens are significantly heavier than our competitors and our porcelain enamel outer tub is part of that. Most competitors opt for plastic, which is easily scratched, damaged, and can hold musty smells.

WHAT’S IT MEAN FOR YOU?

Greater life span, no risk of the tub being punctured and needing replacement…less service calls and downtime, and more satisfied residents.

03

Rugged Steel Base and Spring Suspension = Maximum Life

Our steel “milk stool” tub base and eight heavy-duty springs deliver maximum life, and maximum out-of-balance tolerance. The competition? A few light springs affixed to the tub by rubber bands. Which design would you trust to handle the overloading conditions that are all too frequent in multi-housing laundry rooms?

WHAT’S IT MEAN FOR YOU?

Fewer service calls…maximum life. Happy residents due to greater out-of-balance tolerance.

05

Are all ½ horsepower motors created equal?

Additionally, our motors’ robustness ensures a longer life.

WHAT’S IT MEAN FOR YOU?

Fewer complaints from residents whose loads weren’t completed because the machine “thermaled out.” You’ll likely never have to replace our motor.

06

Residents Get Fast Cycle Times with a Direct-drive Pump
