New Speed Queen TC5 Owner Needing Advice

New Speed Queen TC5 Owner Needing Advice
Posted On: February 8, 2023

So I'm clueless about laundry, and this machine is simple. However, I really love to read the instruction manual and the manual doesn't say much. I bought the TC 5 after reading reviews here and wanting a simple machine that cleans well and lasts forever.


After looking online for basic advice, I figured I'd come here. Sounds silly, but I really don't know what all the cycle options are. I'm also reading things that make me think my water bill is going to be sky high. I doubt it, though, as my old washer was an old Roper that filled the drum to the top every time and did a bad job cleaning.


Any links to a thorough video or directions on the specifics of operation would be nice. Also, it seems that the green agenda has taken over Google search and a lot of the reviews I read say this thing is bad for the the earth and my water bill. By BS meter goes off when I hear that, and I don't mind taking shorter showers and I don't water my lawn, haha.


Sorry if this is a dumb or repeat question, but I've checked all around and didn't find what I really was looking for. Any help appreciated.


Question from user Spank_Me_Happy at Appliances at reddit.com.


Answer:

If you already had an old fashioned machine, I wouldn't think your water bill would be any worse. I use “heavy duty” cycle all the time and just select temp and load size based on what I'm washing. The “normal eco” cycle I've read is a required cycle to minimize water use, but is not recommended for actually getting clothes clean.


It's definitely not the most water conscious washer out there by any means, but I figure having to run loads multiple times and - or toss a lesser machine after a few years damages the environment in its own way. Its function and longevity are why I got a SQ.
