Speed Queen recently gave its popular Horizon frontload washer and accompanying dryer a commercial quality stainless steel upgrade. The company now offers both the washer and dryer with a stainless steel cabinet option.

Underneath the new stainless steel cabinets, are the same reliable components vended laundry owners have come to expect from the Horizon and its counterpart dryer. An 80-litre washtub means Speed Queen's Horizon is ready to wash even customers' biggest loads.

In addition, the Horizon offers exceptional efficiency, using just 56 litres of water per cycle. A true horizontal axis design ensures a wider surface area for clothes to come in contact with water and detergent, which shortens overall cycle times to between 28 and 31 minutes. The washer's 1,000 RPM final spin further aids efficiency by removing more water from loads. That translates into reduced drying time and lower energy consumption.

Speed Queen's dryer features the same rugged stainless steel cabinet and an extra-large 198-litre cylinder. The highly efficient unit is offered in both gas and electric heat models and is equipped with the largest door opening in the industry (1,914 square centimeters).

Together, the pair is perfect for vended laundries, hotel guest laundries and student laundry rooms at universities.
