FAQs
Top load models (like the Speed Queen SWNMN2) feature the longest agitation arc in the industry and are ideal for traditional laundromat operations. Front load models offer higher spin speeds (up to 1400 rpm), lower water usage, and programmable cycles. They’re perfect for gyms, salons, and commercial operations requiring customizable washing programs and maximum extraction efficiency.

It can be installed and leveled easily with the leveling feet, or by utilizing one of the multiple plinths offered as an option. All front load models are 100% freestanding with no complicated installation procedures.
The Tullis WMC 8943 is the most compact option at 595 × 706 × 850 mm, making it ideal for tight spaces.
