Who Is Speed Queen?
Providing The World’s Most Reliable Laundry Equipment Since 1908
Commercial Quality For Your Home
Speed Queen is the world number one in commercial laundry, bringing commercial quality to your home. A premium, American-made brand that’s been engineering the toughest, longest-lasting machines since 1908. Our washers and dryers are built in Ripon, Wisconsin, where we manufacture the same machines used in laundromats, military bases, and mining sites around the world.
Here in New Zealand, we’ve been proudly supplying Speed Queen since 1994. With a local warehouse, nationwide service network, and a team that knows our gear inside and out, we back every home product with strong support and a full 5-year warranty.
Why Should You Choose Speed Queen?
Speed Queen isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. We’re here for people who want something better.
If you’re tired of appliances that break down too soon or machines designed to be replaced every few years, Speed Queen offers a smarter alternative. Our customers are homeowners, farmers, tradies, and property managers who want real durability, fast cycles, simple controls, and local support they can count on.
When you choose Speed Queen, you’re buying from a local team that knows laundry. We carry a large stock of machines and parts right here in NZ, offer expert advice with no upsell pressure, and back everything with a 5-year warranty and nationwide service network.
We’re a premium choice; not because of the price, but because of the value over time.
Built Better To Last Longer
Every Speed Queen machine is engineered for one thing: lasting performance.
Built in Ripon, Wisconsin, our washers and dryers use stainless steel instead of plastic, solid mechanical components instead of throwaway electronics, and a design philosophy that prioritises serviceability, not planned obsolescence.
Each machine is tested to last over 10,400 cycles — the equivalent of 25 years in a typical home. We push our products far beyond industry standards in factory testing, with vibration, stress, and endurance tests that simulate a lifetime of use.
That’s why our machines are trusted in laundromats, military bases, mining sites and homes just like yours.
