Customers still walk into appliance stores asking for laundry that is built like it used to be, machines that last for decades and clean aggressively with lots of water. In this episode of The Steel Codcast, Anthony and Jon unpack why Speed Queen is often positioned as the answer to that request, and where that story can quietly break down if it is not explained correctly.

The conversation dives into the differences between Speed Queen’s TC and TR series, breaking down wash action, reliability, fabric care, and customer expectations. This episode helps appliance professionals understand which Speed Queen models truly match the old school mental picture customers have, which ones do not, and how to confidently guide the conversation without overpromising or mispositioning the product.

If you sell laundry appliances or regularly hear customers ask for machines that are built to last, this episode will sharpen how you talk about durability, wash performance, and modern tradeoffs in today’s laundry market.
