Speed Queen Top-Load Washers: TC5 vs TR3 vs TR5 vs TR7
How Speed Queen's TC5, TR3, TR5 and TR7 top-load washers differ on cycles, controls, spin speed and warranty, side by side.
Speed Queen's residential top-load washers all share the same 26-inch cabinet and 3.2 cu. ft. tub, so the choice between the TC5, TR3, TR5 and TR7 comes down to controls, cycles, spin speed and warranty. This guide explains how each model differs so you can match the washer to the way you do laundry.
Every model here uses an agitator and a stainless steel drum, and none of them has Wi-Fi. The step-ups are in cycle count, load and soil options, and warranty length.
