Thanks. I don’t work in oil fields or anything. Mostly gardening in my spare time. I imagine your kids probably get their clothes equivalently dirty as me.. I’d prefer a washer that’s less harsh on clothes while still cleaning them if I can get away with.

From my understanding SQ tweaked the cycles in 2019 due to feedback and also brought back the TC5 for customers who wanted that old school style agitator clean.

Honestly leaning towards a TR. My appliance store has 3 people on waitlist for a TC and he’s saying they won’t even receive an order until end of August and there’s no guarantee there will be extra..
I don’t think you’d be disappointed. We run ours 95% of the time on the default cycle but with large fill or max fill and not auto sense just to make sure we get plenty of water. I’ve done some delicates in it and not had a problem.

For those wondering what 20 glorious cubic feet of newly acquired freezer space looks like........

This is it next to the over quarter century old Kenmore which I believe I have referenced elsewhere in this thread as the "Obelisk which laughs at time"

We also have a smaller 7cf chest freezer we got from Mrs. Haus Mrs. Haus brother, but we got tired of needing to dig in it to get what we need (even with cardboard partitions dividing it up). Now I have the compelling need to powershop the local groceries and carnicerias for their best deals on meats, since I have space. (although as you can see I'm stocked for now on bologna...)

Total tax , title, and license delivered was right on $850. It was a GE, so I have a little apprehension, the the reviews on it seemed good enough for a patio/garage freezer.

You gotta fill it all the way up so shit falls out every time you open the door to have the real upright freezer experience.

My grandmother had one at her house and this was the way.... Opening it was always a reflex test to catch/push whatever starts falling forward first.

Then you need to round out your experience with a chest freezer that you keep a few heavy things on.

Agree. Otherwise they can just push the lid up and get out and a padlock looks too suspicious.

Yeah. I have both a chest freezer and an upright one in my garage and they both have their issues. You can get more stuff per square foot in the chest freezer, but if you actually fill it up, you can't get to the stuff on the bottom.

I plan to use 2 of these and reverse the hand on the door to make one giant freezer and one giant fridge. (4 units total). The joiner strip is about $200 for each set.


I couldnt find a reason to pay $8k+ each for the same functionality.

This is the same freezer we have in our pantry / bonus whatever room, just be aware that those plexiglass whatever shelves aren't the most rigid things. You can even see on the image they have they're flexing a little.

We put about half the ground beef we got from our 1/2 cow on one shelf and I thought the thing was going to collapse. If you overload the bottom shelf the drawers won't slide correctly. We had a ton of shit from that cow we were trying to put in there so it was like 80% our fault. Would be nice to have some sturdier shelving though.

after two months I finally got my Miele.. I went with the Gucci model. The open to dry mechanism is amazing. Having it app connected is totally not overrated.

thanks sleevedraw sleevedraw for the rec.

Also just got my SQ TR-7 yesterday. About to run my first load through it. Will report back..
