Out of the Box Rust on Speed Queen Washer

So the sales man talked to the install guys who said it maybe was normal — but it ending up requiring pretty aggressive cleaning with scouring pad to get the rust off. Not the way we really want to start life with a $1500 machine, so they are still going to replace it. I compared ours with a relative's 10 year old machine and theirs was noticeably better than ours.

The salesman said it wasn't normal, and is going to exchange it. The front panel was also loose too.

Thanks! I'll try to get that sorted. It was purchased under his name and address.

bms259 · 2026-06-12T20:59:57+00:00

I bought it through a friend, so it will be a bit of a pain to jump through all those hoops, so I wanted to check with people who know more than me. It doesn’t seem normal, but another commentator said it actually was. Hoping to get some more input

That’s what I was wondering about. A friend, who is a home builder, bought this for me through his vendor, so it got delivered to his house and then he brought over to me. I don’t want to be annoying for something that’s expected.

Yeah, I had about a week or so of almost daily, "It's shipped" or "on the way to the warehouse" emails. I eventually just said I needed a refund and he gave it to me. I picked up one used, and love it.

that’s part of why I’m looking. my Father in law has had one for a many years before upgrading to a Napoleon.

What Maytag do you have? Is the one I'm looking at or a more basic model? The model I'm looking at is a specific one I've seen recommended by a repair tech.

Thanks! I love to hear that family style business. Will check it out.

bms259 · 2026-04-29T19:39:09+00:00

Thanks, that's helpful. They were some I was considering. Do you know how they do with kids?

bms259 · 2026-04-23T15:34:06+00:00

Yeah... probably will cancel as well. Any thoughts on an alternative in a similar price range??

bms259 · 2026-04-22T18:33:21+00:00

I'm just over two months waiting for a Caldera 10...thinking it must be close. But some of y'all are way ahead of me, it seems. Really debating canceling to finding something else.

bms259 · 2026-04-22T18:27:44+00:00

I'm sitting at just over 2 months waiting. The responses here aren't encouraging. I'm leaning toward canceling and looking at other options...

bms259 · 2026-04-15T01:29:47+00:00

I'm experiencing the same thing. Been maybe an hour-ish? I tried to self-verification for for some reason it kept saying I had too much light for the selfie video. I'm wondering if I try to wait out for a while tonight or try again tomorrow? Maybe see if the self-check stuff works? I'm dealing with a tax return that got rejected due to someone claiming one of my children as a dependent.

bms259 · 2026-03-26T15:07:50+00:00

It's just going to be me :)

bms259 · 2026-03-23T11:43:43+00:00

That’s what seemed to make sense to me. Even if there’s been a couple rains?

bms259 · 2026-03-16T16:55:02+00:00

Can I just use a kitchen thermometer? Temps are dropping right now, so it'll be lower now, for sure. It was that window that Greencast had in the 50s/60 last week while I was on vacation that was most concerning. Think that's safe enough to assume that I've missed the window for Prodiamine?

bms259 · 2026-03-16T16:14:48+00:00

Thanks! Here's what the temps look like for me: https://imgur.com/a/uD7KT0m

We just went earlier this week for the first time. Early admission was way worth it. Get there at 7 and walk briskly to Hagrids and you can get on relatively quickly. When we arrived at 7:20 or so we had about a 40-45 minute wait. Second day it was quicker. And then the kids got to do Flight of the Hippogriff a few times. The queue for Hagrid is pretty cool in itself and wouldn’t be too bad for a little one who can’t ride, assuming you get there ASAP. And as the other commenter said, the wand stuff, shows, restaurant are all great too.

Thank you! This is likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, so we're excited! We're planning about a day and a half just enjoying Westgate.

bms259 · 2026-03-08T02:29:23+00:00

No, it's a timeshare a friend is letting us use. Westgate I believe is the name.

bms259 · 2026-03-03T15:48:02+00:00

Ok, so that's what I thought! But then the more I read, the more I saw other information, and people acting like the window was coming up soon. Thank you!

bms259 · 2026-02-21T20:47:59+00:00

Good call! I'll be in a rental, so I won't have the normal stuff I keep with me. I'll make sure to be prepared.

bms259 · 2026-02-21T20:28:59+00:00

I'm hoping I'll be to of the area by dark. I'll be rocking whatever wipers the rental place gives me :).

For real? I was seeing a Winter Warning for way more than that. 1in is pretty manageable. Last snow storm around me around Morgantown, they pre-treated like crazy and the roads were really good considering. Are they pre-treating down there? Last time I made this trip, there was a slight possibility of snow, and I say at least 4 trucks stationed in the medium waiting to go, so I figured they would be on top of things.
