We've had our Speed Queen for nearly 30 years!!! Had repairs only twice since we bought it. It is an easy understanding, very reliable washing machine. After all these years, our machine still looks good and works well. We would NEVER have any other washing machine, but a Speed Queen!!!

Although ageing, like her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth, our Speed Queen remains hardworking + loyal to her people. She never complain, always gives her best + never disappoints. She has been with us for 24yrs + over this period, have washed an astounding nearly 7000 bundles. Although break pads, a water pump + the likes were replaced, she still is an original beauty, which we really appreciate. Thank you Speed Queen for building these great machines, for adding value to our lives.

I have absolutely loved my Speedqueen washer and drier bought in the early 90's. I really can't believe how long theý lasted. The washer was indispensable when my kids had masses of washing and now it's indispensable for washing my grandkids clothes.

Karin Stewart

Gauteng

“

My machine is now 28 - perhaps a few more- years old and has been used non stop. All I can say is that this machine has been the best purchase I ever made, it has been a loyal work horse with no problems and I would buy another without hesitation. My family has often said that they would have to bury the machine with me when the time came but are also hoping to inherit it - bit of a dilemma!

Melinda Abbey

“

Twenty one years ago, my wife and I decided to buy two SPEED QUEEN machines a washer and a dryer. The machines never failed or disappointed us and whenever we walk into a shop that sells speed queens we would just stand there and admire it. We can honestly say SPEED QUEEN laundry machines really deserve it's name.

Without a doubt, my washing machine has been the most steady and hassle-free purchase of my life. It has ALWAYS been there for me and has NEVER let me down and is still going strong. I use my washing machine virtually everyday [for 21 years] and have never ever had any clothing ruined or spoiled by it. If only All purchases in life could be this great, wouldn't life be wonderful!!!

My husband bought these two trusty old ladies circa 1995, when he opened his guest house. No matter what, they just keep going. They've seamlessly moved from servicing guests, to coping with our family of 4 and now they're still happily working for just my husband and me. They've definitely grown older more gracefully than we have. Best of all, they require minimal attention, with very few call-outs - so un-demanding! Gotta love my Speed Queens!

Lyndsay Jackson

I have had my Speed Queen for more than twenty years. It is the best washing machine by far. It is versatile, from large pieces of linen and blankets to baby clothes! My Speed Queen is part of the family and will follow where ever life might lead us.

Hi, I am Debbie's Speed Queen tumble dryer...'I am 27 yrs old!!! I have worked hard every day drying the towels and gowns in Debbie's hair salon. I have never needed more than a service. Never stopped!!!'
I will pass u to Debbie... 'I love this dear old Speedqueen tumble dryer. Bought a 2nd one but still this dear soul works. I adore this machine could not be without her. I also have a hard working 20 year old Speed Queen washing machine.'

The best machines. Bought my first machines during 1987. Then new ones during 2004. There is no alternative to Speed Queen.

Our Speed Queen washing machine and dryer are the second generation after Noah. At least 30+++ years. They reared two children and are still going strong with a call out to rejuvenate some minor parts. Our machines are family.

I bought my Speed Queen washing machine in 1995/6 and it has proved to be absolutely reliable. It has worked relentlessly all these years. It has only needed a call out once - about 18months ago and it is still going strong. My next Speed Queen (if I need one) will probably outlive me.

I have had my speed queen for nearly 30 years. My joke has always been that if I ever get divorced, my speed queen will be the first to go with me.

We bought our washer + dryer soon after my first child was born 1988/1989. I am so totally impressed with the reliability, durability and consistent smooth running of my machines. Now that I have a grandchild it has gone full circle with the baby stuff and frequent washes.

Dale Gauldie

“

Our Speed Queen has been with us since July 1994. What a fantastic machine that is so easy to use and always does a great job. We use the washer at least twice a week and considering that it is over 26 years old it has only been serviced 3 times. This is an amazing performance record from an appliance that makes life easier for us.

Basil Dakes

I’m very happy with my Speed Queen washer and dryer. I have had my washer and dryer now for +-25 years. They do work hard as we are a family of four, with two teenage girls. I would never have any other brand but Speed Queen.

Rita Lowrie

Best machine ever. Old, got it in 1985. One service and still running one or two times a week.

Old faithful since 1998. A splendid bit of machinery that has served our family with distinction and since I retired 5 years ago has become my task as chief operator and our SQ just keeps on taking the challenge relentlessly. Will I ever buy any other machine NEVER !!!

My Speed Queen washer was purchased in 1989 by my sister's mother in law. When she moved into a smaller house, she offered it to me. I jumped at the opportunity because I had always dreamed of owning a Speed Queen. It still works perfectly and I'm still living the dream.

I bought a Speed Queen washing machine in 2007. We used it in our house until 2015. In the meanwhile I was asked to start an anti poaching operation to help protect the Rhino's. I then moved my Speed Queen washing machine to the camp. We were 9 people that used the machine. That machine was working every day. The machine was standing under a little roof on a pallet. The machine worked until June 2020. What an amazing piece of equipment.

Wilco Meyer

My Speed Queen washer + dryer are probably my most prized possessions. They have helped me out for the past 25 years + I've only had one call out for the washer throughout all these years. There was minor leakage due to the wearing of the water pump but it was quickly replaced + back to being used again. My children are also in hostel so every Saturday we wash + dry about 3 to 4 full loads of laundry + never had any performance issues. I could not ask for a better + more reliable washer or dryer.

Joey Baker

“

We bought the machine about 25/26 years ago because we still used cotton nappies for both our children. After they grew up, we started a guesthouse and the big tub machine came in handy to do the daily washing for all the guest rooms. A home appliance that you can rely on.

I had it for over 20 years and I have never had a problem with it. Subsequently I moved to a retirement village cottage where I only had place for an undercounter, so I gave this 22 year old Speedqueen to my daughter who needed it to do the laundry of the 5 self-catering cottages.

You ask how I feel about my Speed Queen ..... Well after 40 odd years of regular usage and very few call outs I reckon my answer is GRATEFUL!!!

We were newly married + purchased our Speed Queen Washer in 1984. This is one of our the best investments we made in our lifetime. The machine functions to this day exactly like the first day we set it up. We moved home in 2001 + gave "The Queen" her own room + she sits there happily. It is absolutely reliable + is very economical as we only use the use cold water washing. My wife always remarks + advises family + friends that the Speed Queen washer is like no other in the market.

Colin Pillay

My speed queen washer is by no doubt the very best of ALL my electrical appliance we have ever bought. In 38yrs of marriage its travelled from Jhb to Cape Town. Washed my babies’ clothes and my parents’. It’s a part of our family.

Jean Sleigh

When I bought my current house 10yrs ago, the owner included the washer & dryer in the purchase price. The machines were already very old, at least 15yrs & I was a bit dubious about whether this was a good deal. However, since then both machines have been a fantastic bonus & have given me another 10yrs of excellent service. I had previously heard of the reputation of Speed Queen, but I can now safely say that it is a reputation very well justified. I will never go with another make.

Jonathan Hericourt

My beloved Speed Queen washing machine is about 25 years old. What I love most about my Speed Queen is that you can pause the wash at any point in the cycle if necessary or add an item that should have gone in but was overlooked - even once the machine has filled with water! There is really nothing to beat a top-loading, large capacity Speed Queen washing machine.

Lynne Lewis

Kwa-Zulu Natal

“

Our Speed Queen has undoubtedly been one of the most important investments in our 48 years together. Both my husband and I and the three daughters we have raised have been fully involved in sporting and outdoor activities. To cater for all the washing our Speed Queen has been a loyal servant. She certainly has been a QUEEN in our life.

Susan Carlson

In 2007 I was looking to own property. There was no ways that I was going to buy the house if my SPEED QUEEN could not go with me. After much precise measuring... It's a tight fit, but she is still there where she was placed 13 years ago!! Obviously I bought the house. So on the 25th January 2021 I will be celebrating my 25th SILVER ANNIVERSARY my amazing Speed Queen. AMAZING!!! I will not buy any other brand should I ever need a new washing machine.

Cathy Bothma

I got the speedqueen washing machine from my parents in law as a wedding gift. I was very upset that they did not give me an opportunity to choose my own washing machine... Now after 27 years of washing I am so thankful they did not let me choose and that they bought a speedqueen. The wisdom of older people. My speedqueen is still going strong and washes the washing for a family of 5. No hiccups.

Elzahn Krause

“

I bought my Speed Queen 30 years ago. Not one day has my Speed Queen disappointed me, when my kids were still home I did a couple of loads a week, to present day I am still washing with my trusted Queen. My machine has moved with me from South Africa to Botswana and back, I always just connect and have the confidence that my washing will be done. Everyone should know what a amazing product you sell, 30 years old, never broken down and still going strong. Speed Queen fan for life.

We have had our Speed Queen for longer than 23 years without any problems, our 2 children have since grown up and left the house leaving us with our machine still in perfect working order.

I got my first Speed Queen about 25yrs ago. I can confidently say it was money well spent! My SQ has really worked very hard over these years. From using it to wash everyday clothes to blankets to curtains at times, it has really proven to be a remarkable machine. It is so easy to use. I have not had many problems, maybe around 3 or 4 call outs over the 25 years of having the machine, which in my opinion is great. It has proven to be such a reliable tool in my house + has made my life easier.

Annie Chetty

“

After two home moves and 27 years of washing, my Speed Queen needed its first service. After full inspection from the technician, I decided to rather acquire a new Speed Queen. Within a day, the technician arrived at my home and installed a new machine which will do the laundry ‘twist’ for the next 27 years. Thank you Speed Queen for reliability, durability and service. It has been a real treat.

I've owned a SQ washer + dryer for well over 20yrs. I have 2 children + am a farmer's wife so you can imagine the MANY dirty overalls + shirts with mud grease blood etc that needs cleaning regularly. We own a sand stone quarry + are on a gravel road -thus tons of dust. I also have always had dogs and cats, whose blankets + beds need washing weekly. My machines are used almost daily + with large unusual loads but carry on regardless!! I have never owned another brand + will not change!!

Nicole Potgieter

Western Cape

“

A note of appreciation to your company for producing such an amazing washing machine. I purchased my SQ about 15yrs ago (2nd hand) but even so, I have never been happier. She truly is a work horse of note, in fact she seems to function better under a heavy load. I have had many different makes of washing machines over the years, but can say without a doubt that the SQ out performs all of them. It is very reliable + for me, the best washing machine on the market, I would recommend it to anyone.

I LOVE my Speedqueen; she is a TRUE and worthy "queen" and is worthy of her "crown" and has served me loyally for over 25 years! She is a indestructible lady who is not afraid of ANYTHING, just load her belly full and she gets on with the job - whether it is a blanket or dirty jeans or dainty ladies' stuff, she does it cleanly every time!

Our journey with Speedqueen started with a large family gathering on the farm in Zimbabwe '91 - our new acquisition contributed hugely to the success of the festivities. This machine was a vital part of our essential furniture when we relocated. We have built up a 24 bed B&B business + expanded the laundry to 5 top loaders + 1 dryer, all essential. We love the simplicity of operating these machines especially for staff. We have been blessed by the longevity of our Speedqueens and their wonderful service.

Never been happier. I have both a washing machine and a dryer. I had a problem just once in the 20 years I have owned them with the washing machine, but not serious. Would recommend them to anyone, they both still going strong.

I am the proud owner of my Speed Queen Washer for over 20 years now. Her High Capacity Load is fantastic as she gets used 3 times a week without fail. She is certainly "THE QUEEN" of Washing Machines - That I can certainly vouch for.

During my working life time, I could count on one hand the people that showed a passion and love for their work as Andrew displayed. What an amazing disposition.

I believe he is a great asset to the company, and know that our machines received the best attention they could get.

Please receive this vote of confidence for the Lead laundry team + its services that it provides to the Talisman foundation, a penny scarce rehabilitation centre. My faith is absolutely restored in qualitative service standards + other people’s ability to truly care for no gain to themselves.

I have not had many problems with my machine, maybe around 3 or 4 call outs over the 25 years of having the machine, which in my opinion is great. I was very happy with the service from Lead. The technicians are very knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly they are reliable. I did have to wait a couple of days for the technicians to come however, they did give me a lot of vital information about the Speed Queen that I did not know before.

We only ever had one call out... Two years ago, was the very first time that my washing machine needed a tiny service, as it was leaking water, whereupon Lead Laundry replaced a washer and gave the motor a small clean.
