These are Speed Queen's third generation of washing machines. They are notable for having a button on the door latch. They came in three versions, electromechanical, B-Micro, or NetMaster.

Electromechanical was the earliest in this series since these were being made at the same time the Dexter based machines were produced. These came with 4 cycles that were selectable by a rocker switch. The cycle progress is displayed via a dial.

B-Micro came with 8 cycles and has an LED 7 segment display to show the time and price.

NetMaster came with 7 cycles and has a VFD 7 segment display to show the time and price. These were notable for having a connectivity feature to the laundromat's computer system to show machine analytics.

Specs

• Type: Rigid mounted

• Capacities: 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 80 lbs

• Extraction Power: 80-140 g's

• Cycles: 4 (electromechanical), 7 (NetMaster), 8 (B-Micro)

• Extras: none (electromechanical and B-Micro), 1 (special cycle, NetMaster)

• Control type: Electromechanical or Microprocessor (NetMaster or B-Micro)

• User Interface options: Electromechanical, B-Micro, or NetMaster

These are Speed Queen's fourth generation of washing machines. These got upgraded user interface options and have upgraded door latching systems. They came in three versions. These came in 2-speed and inverter driven motor types. The very later versions came with a different designed front panel construction for easier front servicability.

Quantum Basic was their basic level user interface that has 4 cycles and is selected by turning a knob. This also has a green switch style start button and has the cycle progress lights arranged into a circle shape. This also has an LED 7 segment display to show price and time. These are very rare.

Quantum Silver was their mid tier user interface equipped with 9 cycles. They look very similar to Quantum Gold equipped washers. These are quite rare.

Quantum Gold is their most common user interface. They are equipped with three cycle options to adjust temperature, fabric selection, and soil level.

To tell the difference between the Gold and Silver models, the Gold model will have three rows specifically listed for the soil level, fabric type, and temperature, while the Silver model will have 9 cycles listed on the thing.

Specs

• Type: Rigid mounted

• Capacities: 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 125 lbs

• Extraction Power: 80-140 g's, 200 g's for later variants
