DC5 Sanitizing Gas Dryer with Pet Plus™ Extended Tumble Steam 5-Year Warranty

Check Facebook Don't Believe Fake Reviews

Submitted by TravisL - 9/2/2026

A lot of these reviews must be fake. Search online communities like Facebook and you'll see hundreds of people having trouble with this dryer and Speed Queen can't fix it. The machine is poorly engineered. Speed Queen removed the ability to selected any times other than 30 minutes and 60 minutes. This pretty much forces you to use the automatic drying option which doesn't work. Even with the highest heat, a full load of clothes, and the dry setting; the clothes still come out wet. Anything less than a full load and the clothes are extremely wet on the driest setting. I've had multiple repair visits. They've replaced every meaningful part and it still doesn't work. Now their strategy is to make excuses about load sizes, venting, etc. This dryer doesn't work regardless of load size, and the vent I have is perfect. It's a solid pipe that's only about 2 feet long before it exits to the exterior of the house.

Not really happy with this Dryer, as it doesn't dry my clothes. Leaves things damp. End up turning it back on several times to get things dry. The only positive thing I like about this dryer is the light.

Submitted by Loretta in Indiana - 8/22/2026

My husband and I are very happy with our new Speed Queen Dryer. The motor is quiet, and all the clothes come out perfectly. We especially like that it is simple and user-friendly, not a bunch of electronic bells and whistles (which we would never use), but knobs to indicate our heat level and level of dryness selections. Thank you for keeping it real, and for keeping it user-friendly for old-fashioned consumers like us. Thank you Speed Queen, for Keeping America Great - One Business at a Time!

Love my Speed Queen washer. The dryer? Not at all!

Submitted by pine - 8/17/2026

I'm unable to dry loads in one dry cycle if, for example, the load contains white sheets and white tee shirts. The tee shirts will still be damp when the sheets are dry and the cycle is complete. I'm using the "regular" and "dry" cycles. My 22 year old dryer (not a Speed Queen) had no issue with drying that entire load in one cycle.

It's just an OK from me

Submitted by Esmar - 8/12/2026

1. I can't figure out how to turn the cycle over beep on. I have been through the manual and searched online. 2. Clothes come out damp unless I just use the 30/60 time and the Dry setting. Also, why just 30 or 60 minutes? 3. I like the build quality. Overall it is a very well built dryer. I suppose that I could just turn the water line off and use the dryer as a dryer. The lack of an end-of-cycle notification is annoying. I don't know, maybe I should have just purchased a cheap dryer.

Beast of a machine!

Submitted by Patclare99 - 8/10/2026

I don't get all that excited about purchases because most things are overpriced garbage. I brought a SQ washer and dryer for our second home. We have a big family and use the machines a ton. They are simple and made really well. They are absolute beasts. I am grateful that American made products like SQ are in the market. It gives me great hope!

Washer GREAT; Dryer a little disappointing

Submitted by NaHa - 8/9/2026

I love my new Speed Queen Washer, but the matching dryer is a little disappointing. The biggest disappointment is the "Auto Sensing" feature, which does not fully dry all loads consistently; it seems to only work well on very light items; and I have the settings on "Regular" and "Dry", but in a load of clothing, some items come out damp and have to be redried. The "30 Min" setting will usually dry clothing fully, but a small load of towels will come out damp and have to be redried. I haven't found a good use for the "Steam Boost" feature. So basically, this very expensive dryer has only one reliable setting for getting all clothes fully dry, and that is the "60 Min" setting. It's unfortunate there is not a "timed" dry where the user can set something other than 30 or 60 mins. Additionally, I find the door to be somewhat flimsy compared to the sturdiness of all other parts of the dryer & washer. At least 1 out of every 10 loads, the dryer will stop immediately after starting; and I have to open the door and restart the dryer. Once the clip in the door dislodged itself into the clip opening, and I had to remove & reset it in the clip opening; luckily, that problem has not recurred. At this price point, I'm disappointed in the performance and limited functionality of this dryer. It's getting the clothes dry eventually, but unfortunately, there have been too many glitches to give the dryer a 4 or 5 star rating.

WE were disappointed with we paid for the best and the installers ran for 30 min and left. when we tried would not get hot. We had a brand new dryer and could not use for a week after waiting two weeks. The the solenoid gas valve was not opening. We asked for a new dryer since we have little faith in this one, and was told no. We got the part another week later and now working but expect better. Also your authorized dealer was less than helpful despite multiple phone calls for the product. And to add to the speed frustration our 2.5 year ol speed queen washer waiting for a correct diagnosis Therefore that was out 3 weeks and finally the dx was a faulty water inlet valve.

The Best Washer and Dryer

Submitted by Mickey Goldmill - 8/8/2026

My ex-wife and I had a Speed Queen washer and dryer when we were married 40+ years ago. I have owned other brands since then. After a 35+ year hiatus, I recently purchased a Speed Queen washer and dryer to replace the units which came with my house when I bought it about six years ago. I can tell you that Speed Queen hasn't missed a beat over that 35/40 year period. Beautifully made appliances that get my clothes sparkling clean and dry in no time. So glad I bought Speed Queen appliances!

Disappointing

Submitted by Eric9 - 8/5/2026

I've been experiencing that the dryer has been leaving black marks on laundry. The marks appear to have the same shape in most instances. I don't know what is causing that. I've wiped down the inside of the dryer numerous times. Other than that, I wish you could adjust the timed dry cycle more than just 30 or 60 minutes. I know that nothing is perfect, but the black marks are very disappointing.

Submitted by KoKo3 - 8/2/2026

I have gone through 3 washing machines when I bought two other name brands. The last one was only two years old when it quit. So, after a lot of research, I bought a Speed Queen. I LOVE IT! It cleans my clothes in a shorter time than the last one. There is no lid lock which is great. I went ahead and bought the matching dryer.

After replacing my 6 year old, expensive dryer, I decided to spring for a Speed Queen. I've only had it about a month, and it doesn't get heavy use, but so far I like it. I guess if I still like it in 10 years, it will have been worth the money.

This will last the rest of my life! (I'm 60) I had my Maytag for 25 years. And the folks at Manweiler told me to get a speed queen 5000. Well worth the cost! The washer takes a mirror 27 minutes to finish a big cycle. And the dryer is phenomenal. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

Disappointed

Submitted by dlm007 - 7/19/2026

I purchased the matching washer and dryer less than 2 years ago. Since then I have had to call for service multiple times for the dryer and the washer has been beeping randomly while not in use. Since it was not beeping at the time the service tech arrived, nothing was done. They said I needed a recording of beeping events for them to return since they didn't hear it. The machines are not nearly as well made and efficient as advertised. Thankfully they both are under warranty for 5 years, but it is extremely inconvenient to be calling for service so many times. I planned to have this set for many years, but based on performance so far, it is doubtful they will live beyond the warranty period.

I already have the Speed Queen washer which is the greatest washing machine made! My daughter even took my advise and purchased one. Therefore when my old dryer starting making weird noises it was time to get a matching Speed Queen dryer. It's heavy duty, I love the interior light and I'm sure it'll last longer than anything else out there.

Very well built gas dryer. I love the lint trap design, very easy to clean. Auto sensing is not very good. I don't know if it's the position of the sensing elements or the actual function. My 36 year old Kenmore 70 series gas dryer, without using the sensing elements, worked much better by monitoring the temperature of the exhaust air. I love the ability to remove wrinkles with the steam function.

Love this dryer. Bought as a set with a TC5. The lint trap is honestly one of my favorite parts. On our old machine you had to remove the trap to clean it and inevitably lint would fall back into the exhaust. My only slight quibble is that I wish the selection dial was a simple no-heat, low, medium, high rather than using "delicate," "permanent press," etc. Explaining to my kids that "permanent press" means medium was amusing though.
