HELP!! Washing machine bust, need new machine, no time
Comments (6)I knew when I moved into this house that the 25 year old Kenmores wouldn't last long, so I started researching then. I've read articles, reviews, and I think I've been to every store that sells appliances in a 50 mile radius. I need a top-loader due to space constraints, and I wasn't pleased with any of them. When the washer and dryer died at the end of August, I knew I had to bite the bullet and choose something, and I was going to go with the Maytag Centennial. Until I saw the LG top-loader. I looked up the reviews and they were consistently good, and they had a good repair rating by a leading consumer periodical. My budget isn't unlimited, and they were much more than I wanted to spend, but I haven't regretted it for one minute. I love them. The capacity is amazing, and the clothes come out much cleaner than any other washer I've ever owned. But you are the only one who can decide if a top or front loading machine is best for your needs. There are pros and cons to each. I strongly suggest you measure your available space, and where the necessary connections are as this may limit your choices. And then go to an appliance dealer that carries a broad range of machines and actually touch them, and look at them. Keep in mind some of the suggestions you've received here. Then go and read the reviews. It's important to see them because I found that I would find one that received okay reviews, but then when I saw it, something about it would annoy me - like the 5 settings for cold - cold, tap cold, cool cold, etc....See MoreSave laundry to wash with new machine, or wash before it arrives?
Comments (8)Cold only? Do the darks and save the bulky blankets, linens etc. for the awesome FL arriving- You'll be amazed how much more you can fit in the FL! I am a recent convert and (I think the LG has internal heater in the new one?) I can't believe how whites get white w/the high heat (I have the Bosch 500 plus)-you'll want to check that out!-Have fun- ps don't forget the HE detergent- you can read a ton about laundry detergent on this web- site .There are several good ones out there. With all the hype I had to try Charlie's soap- I do like it so far- just getting use to the no scent- I have to admit, I liked the smell of Tide!-Good Luck-and make sure they level it correctly!...See MoreFisher & Paykel GWL11 Washing Machine - Leaking during wash cycle
Comments (1)The SmartDrive motor does not itself have a seal in it, but there is a seal on the tub & bearings where the motor's shaft passes through to the basket & agitator. A leak at this seal will dribble water into the motor where it will drip out of the rotor....See Morecan you wash a queen duvet in a 2.4-2.5cu ft washing machine?
Comments (4)You said your duvet is "not down." Is it more like a quilt (stuffed with not-very-compressible batting or wool) or is it filled with some kind of down-alternative that will deflate when wetted? The long running Miele W1 thread here has numbers of posts about successfully washing even king-size duvets/comforters in those models, but I'm not sure if any of those were non-down duvet/comforters. You might try asking your question there. Posters such as Luna123456 and Cal may be able to clear that up for you....See MoreOutsidePlaying
