Comments (2)Hey, I wonder if the new Electrolux WaveTouch due out in 2013 will have a large touch screen replacing the dial and buttons? Any clue Chris Polk on the esthetics of the 2013 release of the WaveTouch?...See MoreLG2250 front load washer & dryer reviews ?
Comments (0)Any opinions on the low end front load LG2250CW and matching dryer ? Mostly about mold, frequency of cleaning pump filter, noise, wash times. Since it does not have electric heat - would I regret not having it ? I can live without "steam" (I think).Thanks !...See MoreLg Front load vs Samsung DV337
Comments (10)Well,... we purchased today! After a few trips between Sears, Lowes & HD, we landed on the Onyx Blue DV337AEL Electric Dryer and it's matching washer by Samsung. Very nearly got the comparable LG set, but the LG set weighed in at nearly $400 more for their top model with the same feature set. The sales reps pretty much confirmed the Samsung was equal to the LG, something I had originally thought was not true. Loaded them up on the bed of the Ram Hemi pickup and hauled them home. Unhooking the old GE set (which came with our new home some 7 years ago) and installing the new Samsungs was a snap and took all of 30 minutes. Surprisingly fast and easy. We were also surprised at how quiet these things are,... amazing. We can actually run these things thru the night and still get some sleep. Oh and another thing that pleasantly surprised us was how dry the load was after the washer finished doing it's thing. I'm thinking that'll take a lot off of the dryer and may even save on the energy bill as well. Maybe,... maybe not. We did 2 loads of laundry just to get familiar and dust off some of the excitement. Embarrasing,... two grown people standing in front of a washer and dryer with a frozen stare as they tumble our clothes around and around. The 'dent-n-scratch' LG dryer at Sears was gone, so that made it easier to take a second look at the Samsung. However Lowes threw in a free Onyx Blue pedestal because the last had a scratch on it. Cool! Would have used the cord from the old dryer, but it was advised to get a new one for safety reasons. This weekend I plan of swapping the direction of the door to the dryer for easier access. According to the owner's manual, that too is should be a snap! I'd like to thank everyone for your advice. I only hope we'll have no reason to regret purchasing the Samsung over the LG. Our luck,... stuff like that generally happens on the 31....See MoreBuying new Washer/Dryer (considering Miele, Samsung, LG)
Comments (1)It seems that you really are planning to get a Miele. If not, I have had 5 years use from a Samsung front loader. It was a frustrating experience because at first I did't know how to set it up to get clothes clean in spite of the high efficiency water and electric saving computer. Once I figured that out it has done a good job. Don't know how long it will last. It is my understanding that all modern front loaders have a much shorter life than the old top loaders (which could be counted on for 20 years of so)....See Moreattofarad
