Know before you buy

Yes, the door is reversible, allowing you to configure it to open from the left or right side to better suit your laundry room layout.
This feature uses sensors to monitor moisture levels in the drum and automatically stops the cycle once the clothes are dry, preventing heat damage and excessive wear on your fabrics.

Speed Queen builds these units with heavy-duty components, such as a 1/3 HP motor and an aluminized alloy drum, designed to withstand significantly more cycles and heavier use than typical consumer-grade appliances.
