Frigidaire GLTF2940FS 14 Cycle Front Load Washera Review

Frigidaire GLTF2940FS 14 Cycle Front Load WasheraI had a very cheap washer that lasted for 5 years.When it broke down, rather than considering spending $50 just to have someone look at it, I decided to buy a new one.

I wanted a front-loading washer because they are gentler on clothes and use less water.However, after looking at some, I realized they were mostly pretty expensive.

I did a lot of research and Consumer Reports rated this washer as the best I could hope to get for the price.Finally after much shopping, I found a white one online and ordered it.I installed it myself in about 10 minutes and started washing.

We've now owned it for 4 or 5 months and I love it. It is very easy to run, very stable and operates flawlessly.I have washed all sorts of things in it and have never had a single problem.We have this in our kitchen-area right off the living room and, while it is a little bit noisy, it is much quieter than the other standard machine I had.

The one thing I've been a little trepidatious about is the detergent drawer which feels sort of cheaply made and ill-fitting.However, I've been careful with it and have learned how to use it and it really isn't that bad.Don't let that sway you from purchasing this machine.I really think you can't get anything better for your money.Even machines that cost over 2x didn't have the performance rating this one had.

Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus Series: WFMC544 27" Front-Load Washer with 4.2 cu. ft. Capacity, 15 Wash Progr Review

Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus Series: WFMC544 27' Front-Load Washer with 4.2 cu. ft. Capacity, 15 Wash ProgrWe purchased this washer, matching dryer and pedestals about six months ago from a local appliance store. The dryer works fine. Both appliances look great, sturdy and well-built.The problem is the washer does not get the cloths clean. My white stocks, T shirts and other white cloths come out stained and gray. We had a standard Maytag for 20 years that got the clothes nice and clean. This washer simply doesn't do the job. After numerous contacts with the company, there appears to be no solution. I can't, in all honesty, sell this product to an unknowing buyer. Our only solution at this time is to buy a new washer and matching dryer and consign this one to the dump. So long to $2,200 plus.

Miele W4000 Series : W4840 27in Front Load Washer Review

Miele W4000 Series : W4840 27in Front Load WasherI am posting a revised review of the Miele W4840/T9820.The reason is, I want to revise my score upward.(Fair is fair.) I include the original review for reference below.

I stand by my original assessment of these products, EXCEPT, I was very fortunate that my Miele dryer had a recall.(I am not kidding about this).After a few false starts, the Miele repair guy came out with a firmware change for the dryer.I complained to him that the washer was not getting my clothes clean, and I discovered that there are TWO PAGES of firmware options available to be set by a repair technician.These options include "hygiene" and "allergies", each of which increases the amount of water used in the wash.

Turning on these two options, my washing machine now uses enough water to get my clothes clean.What a concept!

I have 2 things I want to accomplish by re-writing this review.First, if you already own a Miele W4840, and if you agree that the clothes aren't getting clean enough because of too little water is used, you need to know that THERE IS A FIX.Second, if you have the hots for a Miele and are just smitten with the idea of the quality and reliability, my advice is to get them to CHANGE THE FIRMWARE FROM THE GET-GO, so that the clothes are actually immersed in water. Otherwise, you're headed for my initial experience.

My opinion on the dryer hasn't changed a bit.

I think I figured out the problem with Miele USA.When I filled out my warranty registration, and mailed it in, they mixed up my phone number, which is my account number.So any service requests just went straight to the circular file.

Here is the original review.I still think it accurately represents what you will get if you buy a unit is the "stock" firmware settings:

I soooo wanted to like this washer/dryer set (W4840/T9820). I shop for quality and reliability, and am willing to pay a significant price premium to get it. On top of that, I have a Miele dishwasher and I love it. So when my Maytag got elderly, the skids were greased for Miele Nirvana. Alas, it was not to happen. Its not that this product is terrible, it is just that it is not that great, across the board.

I had a very minor warranty failure, and my experience tells me that if you have any real problems, you're hosed. I just had a burned out LED indicator on the dryer. Called the Miele office in NJ. Got the big stall/phone tag/shuck and jive. Eventually, I asked them to just mail me an LED and tell me how to fix it. Nope. After several phone calls, and a no-show appointment (over a period of 6 weeks), I just gave up. My dryer has a burned out indicator. That's just the way it is. Not the biggest thing in the world, but for $3700+ delivered, I figured they could stand behind the warranty. Nope. Warranty performance = F.

Just speculation, but I'll bet that non-warranty repair is a nightmare. There are so few of these sold that probably there are very few people with repair experience, and there is probably not an adequate stock of spare parts. Just a guess.

My biggest beef is that it doesn't wash the clothes all that well. Now, this is my first experience with Energy Saving front loaders, so maybe this is life after going Green, but the bottom line is that I'd rather have my old Maytag top loader. I think that Miele just went so berserk trying to save water that they lost sight of the fact that the purchaser buys this product to get his clothes clean. I have resorted to using the extra prewash cycle for everything, and the extra rinse to get the soap out. To me, this is kind of like the first low-flow toilets, where you get to flush twice. Cleaning performance = B-

The dryer doesn't work all that great, either. Everything is based on a moisture sensor (no simple timer mode), and my experience is that things either come out damp (normal mode) or over-dried and shrunk (extra dry mode). I have resorted to running everything on normal mode/gentle heat and then letting the dryer run in fluff/no wrinkle mode for a while (an extra 30 minutes or so) in attempt to get dry but not shrunk clothes. Drying performance = D.

Both the washer and the dryer are incredibly energy efficient. I saw a noticeable drop in my utility bill. Energy saving performance = A (until you start adding back extra cycles to get things clean).

The controls are needlessly complicated. You feel like a space shuttle pilot getting ready to dock at the space station. It's not that you can't figure it out, but why should you have to? User interface: C-

Now, in all honesty, I have to say that other than the LED indicator, nothing else has failed in 2 years of regular use (2 adults, no kids). Both units seem to be very well made, and I think (hope?) it is not pipe-dreaming to expect that these units will last for a long time. If they do, however, it will be a mixed blessing, since they just don't work all that well.

I just can't believe that this is as good as it gets for a $3700 washer/dryer.

Product Description:
At the very core of Miele's technical and production competencies are washing machines. Having more experience than almost any other appliance company on the planet, Miele has taken the washing machine in Europe, and around the world, to the highest level of durability, reliability and convenience while always remembering the product's potential impact on their cherished natural resources.

Stainless steel Honeycomb wash drum
Forged from the very best stainless steel with a unique convex pattern that resembles a honeycomb, the drum enhances both cleaning performance and reduces fabric wear. The by-product of this patented advancement is an 80% reduction in the number of water exit holes and a network of water channels that create a thin water layer that cushions your clothes while the drum rotates.

PC Update function
Miele was the first manufacturer to introduce the revolutionary concept of updatable machines. Thanks to the PC Update function, you can now keep up with technological advances. For example, using a laptop computer, a Miele technician can alter a machine's programming parameters to reduce its electricity consumption or even adapt it for a new type of garment care.

Advanced Touchtronic Controls
Most people own a very diverse range of clothing, linen, tableware and so on, all requiring different, special treatments. From silks and blended items to woolens and mixed fabric garments, you can clean these items easily, effectively and most importantly, with great care. Miele's Touchtronic series offers more to clean silks and other delicate hand washables you would normally dry clean.

Aqua Managers - FS 1 1/4-NPT - Floodstop for Water Heaters Water Leak Detection System - White - 1.25 in. pipe Review

Aqua Managers - FS 1 1/4-NPT - Floodstop for Water Heaters Water Leak Detection System - White - 1.25 in. pipeI purchase this product from DIYcontrols a few weeks ago. The product comes with an on line installation guide and video for the product that are very helpful. When I had additional questions that the plumber needed to know prior to installation, DIYcontrols responded rapidly.For my particular water heater the copper pipes are soldered together and attach to the heater, which meant that I needed to buy a union, as well as male and female ends that could be connected to the devise and soldered to the existing pipe.
The first device arrived defective and the valve would not close; unfortunately, I already had a plumber at the house to install the device and DIYcontrols does not have effective weekend support, so I had the plumber leave. The following Monday Scott Walker from ONSITE PRO, the manufactor of the device, called me to find out what happened and was very appologetic and said that he would send me out a new one ASAP, which he did.
The new device worked exactly as advertised and the plumber was able to install it in a little over an hour without any difficulty.
I would rate the custer service at ONSITE Pro and integrity of their workers as outstanding.
In regard to the device, I recommend to plug it in prior to having a plumber come by the ensure it is functioning correctly; however, from most of the other reviews from other sites the valve sticking does not appear to be a normal issue so it shouldn't be a worry. If you are afraid of the valve sticking, either in the open or closed position due to the motor malfunction, there is a manual override so that the valve can be opened.
My plumber was impressed at the quality of the product and I think that having it is a great idea to prevent costly water damage.

Whirlpool Duet Steam : WFW9700VW 27in Front-Load Washer - White w/Brushed Chrome Review

Whirlpool Duet Steam : WFW9700VW 27in Front-Load Washer - White w/Brushed ChromeThis machine broke on the SECOND wash.After hours of being on the phone with Whirlpool and Grant's Appliances, neither one would give us a new washer, they all wanted us to get the new part.2 1/2 weeks later the part finally arrives...it broke again, same code, 10 washes later.I paid $1,400 for this washer, it is a shame that some American Companies no longer stand behind their products.DON'T BUY THIS MACHINE... I think I am convinced to buy the Miele.I just bought a vaccum and dishwasher from Miele...they are simplye DIVINE and WONDERFUL and their craftmanship is SUPERB! My gut told me to do the same with the washer and dryer...I just knew so many people who did have some type of Whirlpool and liked them?

I am just so beside myself at the moment...I had researched several machines before purchasing this one.However, I was mislead by Whirlpool Corporation...I called their customer service line to inquire if the 9700 models were made in Germany or Mexico...they told me GERMANY, the main reason I agreed to purchase this machine (wanted the 9600, but no longer available).When I got home to see my new washer, it said "Made in Mexico"It appears that Whirlpool had purposely reported false information.I will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau and reporting a claim against Whirlpool Corp and their "just tell the cumstomer lies" tatics.

Frigidaire : FMP330RGB 18in Stainless Steel Interior Portable Dishwasher Review

Frigidaire : FMP330RGB 18in Stainless Steel Interior Portable DishwasherAfter moving into my new place, I decided it was time to get rid of the Danby countertop dishwasher and get a standing, 18" portable. I'd always seen the countertop model as a stopgap, because most apartments I could afford didn't have a lot of countertop, but the Danby did well for me during the time I used it.

I'd had an 18" Sears Kenmore portable about 20 years ago, and was planning on purchasing another Kenmore because I'd been quite pleased with that one.Then I received a $500 bonus from work, in the form of an Amazon gift certificate, so I decided to give up on Sears and see what I could get through Amazon.I found this Frigidaire, which seemed to have reasonably good reviews at other sites, and ordered it.

On first blush, it was a lot like my old Kenmore, except the upper rack had an additional, fold-down shelf for small glasses.Once I started using it, tho, I was disabused of the hope that it would be an improvement over my old Kenmore, or even over the Danby.Its drawbacks are:

1. It is loud.Keep you awake at night loud.
2. The racks are so poorly designed that I can't stack bowls in the lower level unless I leave 2-3 empty 'slots' between them.The upper rack has enough space to accommodate bowls, but not enough prongs to hold them in place so the spray can hit them properly.Furthermore, the extra level on the upper rack is useless since even the manual warns you not to block the spray by stacking items immediately above one another.This means that you have only one level there, rather than the 2 levels you initially anticipate.
3. The lower level design may be intentional, because the water spray is underpowered. If I stack dishes too closely, the spray doesn't reach between them, and the top half of the plate or bowl remains dirty.
4. The rack problem combined with the low pressure water spray to make it impossible to fully load the dishwasher.I can do about 3 place settings in a load - just about the same amount I could do with the much smaller Danby.
5. The water hoses and electrical cord depend on friction to hold them in place, meaning that I have to stuff them back through a small opening into their storage space after using the unit.Dragging the hoses & cord back out causes them to scrape against the opening, and it looks to me like that will shorten the life of the rubber/plastic coverings.I've decided to leave the electric cord hanging out, but the water hoses need to be stored to keep them from dripping.My old Kenmore had internal reels for these two items, making it easy to pull them out and put them back.

The one plus that the Frigidaire has over either of my two previous units is that it does have a "Hi Temp" setting, which heats the water during the cycle.This is important since the water in the building pipes doesn't stay hot between the stages of the cycle.The Hi Temp setting uses more energy, but does get the dishes cleaner than they were when I didn't use it.

All in all, I wouldn't purchase this product again.I do prefer having an automatic dishwasher to doing all the dishes by hand, so when I purchase my next dishwasher, I'm going to take bowls and plates with me to test the rack design and, if it's a portable, I'll look for a better cord management mechanism.The other problems probably can't be assessed in a showroom, so I'll just have to hope someone else writes a detailed review of the product I'm interested in before I purchase it.

Samsung WF448AA 27" Front-Load Washer with 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity, 14 Wash Cycles, 8 Options, 5 Temperature Settings, Steam Washing, SilverCare/VRT Technology, LCD Display and Diamond Drum Design Review

Samsung WF448AA 27' Front-Load Washer with 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity, 14 Wash Cycles, 8 Options, 5 Temperature Settings, Steam Washing, SilverCare/VRT Technology, LCD Display and Diamond Drum DesignOne day, my wife decided to get this humongous blanket. It was so big that it wouldn't fit in our regular top load washer. It was one of those blankets that you had to wash every two weeks and it was getting to be a hassle to go to the laundromat so we bit the bullet and decided to get a large front loader. When we got our old washer I didn't think we needed to spend a whole lot of money on it so we just got a middle of the line GE. This time, I thought, what the heck, let's just get the top of the line one so we wouldn't have any buyer's remorse about not getting the best. And there was quite a big difference in cost, $500 for our old washer 3 years ago to $1400 for this one.

I researched all the washers carefully and read a lot of reviews and decided to go for a front loader, which is supposed to wash better because the clothes are tossed over and around instead of just being swirled around, and it's supposed to save water. And based on the reviews, I thought Samsung came out ahead in terms of quality. Mind you, the difference is not that much. There is no brand which is terrible in quality from what I read of online reviews, all are quite good, I just liked Samsung better. It's also somewhat subjective as I just liked the way it looked.

What I like about it.
1) Silvercare. I really like that fact that the laundry can be sanitized with silver ions instead of using heat because heat does terrible things to clothes. Especially families with kids, you've got mud and dirt and underwear, and adult clothes mixed with children's clothes. This was a very important selling point to me.
2) 4.5 cu. ft. capacity. I wanted to get the biggest size possible. This was one of the reasons which I didn't go one level down, even though the next level down was 4.3 cu.ft., which was just a little smaller. But as I said, I didn't want any second thoughts in the future, so I just got the biggest one.
3) Bells and whistles. This washer has a lot of features and functions: steam clean, bedding, quick wash, delay start, etc. in addition to the regular cycles. To be honest, I'm not using 90% of them now. I don't wear any fancy clothes and my laundry loads are either towels, every day clothing or underwear. What I do like is that I can customize the function. I chose "normal" but found that it didn't spin them enough so I increased the spin level by one. I also use the "hand wash" function, but found I needed to increase the spin level by one too. There are like 20 functions and you can customize them all to some degree.
4) Yeah, I like watching the clothes go around and it's relaxing. This is my first front loader ever. I wonder if I'll ever get tired of watch clothes go around.
5) I forget what they call this, but the washer resets itself if the clothes get bunched up. And that's one thing I disliked about my toploader. Sometimes the clothes would get all bunched up on one side and the toploader will throw itself out of whack and make a lot of noise. This one can reset itself.

Cons:
None really so far, but a few comments.
1) Water saver, it uses less water than your regular top loader. I just can't get used to the idea that clothes can be thoroughly washed without them being completely soaked and when you watch through the glass window you'll see that the water never fills up the drum; the clothes do get wet, they just don't get immersed totally in water. In fact, you never see a water line through the window. Other reviewers in other forums have made the same comment.
2) Noise. I thought this would be whisper quiet, but it isn't quieter than my toploader. It has to do with the fact that the clothes tumble around and that's what makes the noise. My old GE which agitated (the drum would rotate as well as go side to side) was just as quiet during the wash cycle. It has vibration reduction but again, it doesn't noticeably vibrate less than my GE. However, both this Samsung and my 3 year old GE are much noticeably quieter than my last last washer from more than 10 years before, which demonstrates that technology has increased a lot; and also if you have a washer more than 10 years old you should seriously look at a new one!
3) Capacity. It may have a 4.5 cu.ft. capacity but it's a lot harder to load more in a front loader because you're trying to load stuff in sideways whereas with a top loader you just fill it to the top. Fill the little things like socks first and big things like towels at the top. I feel that even though my old washer was a 3.3 cu.ft, this one doesn't wash 36% more clothing.

Overall.
For the value minded, is this functionally 2.8X better than my old top loader? ($1400 vs. $500). I would say no. It's got more functions but I think that most people can make do with a middle of the line washer.

However, getting a new washer nowadays is a lot more about function. It's visceral, it's emotional, it's subjective. For 2.8X the money, you get a washer that subjectively looks a lot better ($500 washers don't come in 4 different colors, and just don't have the same oomph.) You get this because of the features, the looks and the fulfillment that you've arrived (in the laundry room). Laundry doesn't become a chore anymore, it's an appointment with the latest technology from Samsung. You don't merely wash your clothes, you clean them, you sanitize them. And that's what the extra $900 is all about. But me, I don't have to justify anything, she who must be obeyed had spoken.

Finally, and this was what sold me - our last last washer lasted almost 10 years. Washers last for a long time. I didn't want to buy something cheap and then kick myself for the next 9 years wishing I bought something else. If this last 10 years, a difference of a few hundred dollars is negligible and this is a machine you'll use every week. This few hundred dollar difference pales in comparison to getting a washer repairman out. The last time I called it was $140 for the guy to come out and then parts and labor, so spend what you need to spend (within reason) and get the washer you want and the one with the better reputation.

Miele : W3033 24in Front Load Washer - White [German Engineering - Built to Last] Review

Miele : W3033 24in Front Load Washer - WhiteBought My washer 4 years ago, and every year I have to have it fixed. From the first month it started to leak out the front door onto the floor. Sure, the company(Miele) sent someone to fix it and replace the rubber liner in the door, but four times now ??? The warrantee is now gone, and Im stuck with a lemon, a leaky one. I paid BIG BUCKS for a piece of junk. I will NEVER buy a Miele product again....never! I should take it back to Weir's in Tacoma where I bought it, and demand another one.

LG WM3431HW 24", 2.44 Cu. Ft. Washer/Dryer Combo (White) Review

LG WM3431HW 24', 2.44 Cu. Ft. Washer/Dryer ComboI have the first version of this washer, WD-3274RHD. every thing is perfect in this -all in one. But you have to pay attention to some guide lines:
1. the concept of this unit is to help users to set and forget. Be ready to expect a longer washing cycles comparing to regular washers.
2. with this capacity it is perfect for one load per person. so expect to have six cycles a week for three users. this what we used to do since we bought this washer.
3. as it is a combo unit, you don't have to do your laundary on the weekend, it only needs few minutes to sort your laundary, load it, push few buttons and go to your work...shopping or even go to sleep. the drying will start automatically once the wash cycle is over.
4. if the items you're washing needs to tumble during the drying cycle, it is better to have smaller loads and that will help avoid wrinkles spaecially in jeans. and remember that drying needs a drum of a double size of the washing drum. so if you have the maximum washing load and you don't want to come back to split the load , just expect a longer drying time.
5. i'm personally satisfied with this unit as it is only me, my wife and my one year old child. as a small familly we stil don't do our laundary on the same day.

LG : WM2455HW 27in Front-Load Washer - White Review

LG : WM2455HW 27in Front-Load Washer - WhiteMy old Maytag finally died after about 10 years.I guess that's a good shelf life although the only thing wrong was that the transmission was leaking and getting tiny oil stains on my clothes.Apparently you can't purchase new "seals" and just have to replace the whole transmission which is, of course, cost prohibitive.My wife wanted a front loader to save on the utility bills.The reason we settled on the LG was the larger 4.2 cu ft. There were only one or two models that were bigger but they were way over $1000 which was our cut off.We bought it at Sears because they have, in my opinion, the BEST customer care out there.Anytime we have to buy a major appliance Sears is where we go.Anyway - here are the perks:
1.I cannot believe how little water this thing uses.I'd never seen a front loader in action before but instead of an entire basin filling with water if you can imagine it's almost like there are a bunch of tiny "water guns" circling the rim that occasionally shoot some water out on the clothes.
2.There is a spot for detergent, another for bleach, another for fabric softener, and one extra spot that I put a little Borax in.All this is in a tiny "drawer" that opens and closes at the top of the machine.
3.It spins the clothes for about a minute to automatically determine what the load size is and adjusts the water level accordingly.
4.There are TONS of different wash and rinse combinations.Most take at least an hour to do but they also have a "speed wash" that took 20 minutes from start to finish.I used this cycle once after my wife had an allergic reaction to a new shower soap we tried.Some of the allergens were in the sheets but they weren't soiled or dirty and consequently that option came in very useful.
5.It has INCREDIBLY FAST spin cycles that get the clothes alot closer to dry which means less dryer time.
6.I think it's pretty quiet although we have it in our basement so that's not a critical issue.
7.There's a child lock button you can press so that if you have small children that think it's fun to press all the different lighted flashing buttons they can do so to their hearts content without messing up your washing instructions.
The CONS:(I should point out that these have to do with ALL Front Loaders and nothing really specific to the LG).
1.First and foremost THE PRICE.We paid just under $1000 for the washer itself.When I was leaving Sears I noticed that most of the top loaders were less than $500.True our utility bills will be less but it'll be quite a while before we make up that loss.
2.These washers have so many bells and whistles that they all now have little computers instead of just some simple nobs.To me I worry that there is now alot more that can go wrong with them and might be costly to repair but before buying a front loader I checked with our repair guy who said to date they haven't really had any problems with them.
3.Once you hit "start" you're committed.Unlike the top loader that will allow you to add a few more clothes that you might have forgotten - this one locks the front door after you hit start and won't unlock until it's done spinning.

All in all I have no complaints so far (other than price).It does a great job getting the clothes clean and at a fraction of the utility cost that our old top loader did.Let's keep our fingers crossed that I get at least another 10 years out of this one!

Samsung : WF218ANB 4.0 cu. ft. Front Load Washer - Breakwater Blue Review

Samsung : WF218ANB 4.0 cu. ft. Front Load Washer - Breakwater BlueIt was in our house 1-day, and the drum on the washing machine would not go into a high spin, so all the clothes kept coming out dripping wet.Sears sent out repair man who had to call Samsung for assistance....... After figuring out it wasn't operator error or machine malfunction, the Samsung Rep wanted to know the room temperature of our wash room.the repair guy told them it was 65 degree according to his meter with a cold water temperature of 43 degrees coming into the house.Samsung Rep told us, we could not use cold water to wash our clothes... EVER. The ball bearrings that spin the drum are in oil and because we live in Upstate NY where it gets cold, NOT ALASKA cold, but cold..... the oil is thickening in their machine and CAN'T go into a high spin.WHAT????!!!!The machine needs a temperature of 72 degrees to operate properly! They are aware of this problem, they are working on it, but don't have a solution yet!So I guess they sleep okay at night knowing at least the folks in California who buy their machines love them.Finally, CR and their glowing report, I have to say I'm dissapointed in them too.So they are getting picked up tomorrow and I'm thankful we bought them now and not in the Summer and discovered this way after 30-days.So, as a good customer, I'm trying to help Samsung with a solution.... I will be sure to tell everyone I know about this and warn everyone not to buy a Samsung washing machine (unless you live in a hot climate OR you always wash with HOT water).I can still hear my repair guy laughing...

LG : WM2101HW 27in Front-Load Washer with 4.0 cu. ft. Capacity Stainless SteelPros: Quality, Features/Settings, easy to use, Performance, Style/Design

"Our top load washer bit the dust and I had been considering a front load washer so I purchased this model because of the features and 10 yr motor warranty. I am amazed at the huge load of towels this machine is capable of washing and is very quiet except when filling with water. The wash times are average but with the very first load we noticed that stains that normally had to previously be pre-treated came clean without doing anything with this machine. My wife loves how clean and fresh they come out and it uses so little detergent it's hard to believe they could come out so clean. Water and electricity savings are to be expected as the machine spins the laundry so much drier than any other machine we've owned in the past. I wish I had bought one sooner!! We also bought the matching dryer along with the pedestals and couldn't be happier with our purchase. Our old clothes seem to be renewed with these machines."

LG : WM2487HRMA 27in Washing Machine Front Load - Cherry Red Review

LG : WM2487HRMA 27in Washing Machine Front Load - Cherry RedThis is a terrible washer.It shakes and squeals like crazy.We have a wood floor (installed in 2006), and apparently you cannot put this washer on a wood floor.Or course--no one told us this, and it does not specifically warn against putting the washer on a wood floor in the manual.It simply says that "the floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing."The washer shakes so much that it moves between two and five inches every time we run a load.Our floor is perfectly level, and a repair technician verified that the washer was level.It's just an awful design.

The repair technician said that the squealing noise is normal.It sounds like there's a train going through our house.Do not waste your money.

LG : WM2010CW 27in Front-Load Washer with 3.5 cu. ft. Capacity White Review

LG : WM2010CW 27in Front-Load Washer with 3.5 cu. ft. Capacity WhiteThe good: save water and electricity
The bad: serious design defect

We bought this LG washer recently to replace our over-10-year-old washer. We were excited to get this since it looks nice and is energy efficient.It does what it says: use significantly less water and wash clothes clean. However, we found a big problem with the washer. Every time we start the washer, our house water pipes will shake violently for about one minute. The strong vibration occurs on pipes some distance from the water tap and is caused by rapid engaging of the on/off valve of the LG washer as it starts. As we never saw this kind of vibration with our old washer, we contacted LG and a technician came over. It appears that this situation is not unique to us, as the technician had responded to other similar complaints in the area.Furthermore, we were told older houses (>10 year) are more likely to have this kind of air hammering effect. We are concerned that the strong vibration may cause problems in our house water pipes.Not surprisingly, a google search of the problem found that other LG users had complained unknown, repeated leaks in their water pipes, sometimes from behind the wall. Fearful of the leaks in our water pipes, we installed two air hammer arrester and that seems to alleviate the problem.I wish that LG had warned customers of this potentially serious problem.

Fisher Paykel Washers EcoSmart 3.7 Cu Ft Washing Machine - WA37T26GW2 Review

Fisher Paykel Washers EcoSmart 3.7 Cu Ft Washing Machine - WA37T26GW2My 18 year old Maytag died on me a few weeks ago and I thought it would be easy enough to select a new washer since technology and efficiency should have improved.I was horrified as I did my extensive research in which I basically concluded my next machine will not last more than 5 to 7 years (unless I would purchase a very expensive Miele washer that has a 10 year guarantee and is tested to run for 20 years).Other than the Miele, all brands seem to have issues with reliability/maintenance, expensive repairs, inability to consistently wash clothes properly, etc.

How did I end up deciding on the Fisher Paykel model?I was at my wits end and went to my local appliance store.I was resigned to purchasing a basic Whirlpool.I figured I would not bother buying a higher end model since it is all a crapshoot whether a machine will work out in the long run.At the store, I looked at the Whirlpool and the salesmen noticed I was not looking too happy.He suggested I look at the Fisher Paykel models (which I had read about during my research but dismissed since I had never heard of the brand and did not know anyone that owned one).The salesmen indicated he owned one for several years and so did 2 other salesmen in the store and they all highly recommend the brand.

This washer is a top loader which was a must for me but designed with the efficiency of a front loader.I was impressed with what I saw (roomy inside with a steel tub that has a washboard design).I was leery of the electronic controls but was very satisfied that the machine provides the ability to override its efficiency controls.For instance, you do not have to use the auto sensing water fill if you want to do a wash that will fill with more water.Fisher Paykel is a bit more expensive than a Whirlpool but with the rebates, it ended up being about the same price.Also, the manufacturer offered a 10 year warranty on the motor.

I have been using the machine for one week now and am overall very pleased with the way it operates and washes clothing.So far, I have seen no need to override the auto sensing water fill function.I stopped the machine several times to see how much was filling in and it is not much water!But the clothes were sufficiently drenched and sudsy.And the spin cycle takes out most of the water so that my clothes are much drier at the end compared to the way my Maytag worked.One downside I read about and was reiterated by the salesmen is the level of noise from this machine.Not true from my perspective!Compared to the noise level I was use to from my old Maytag (which sounded like a geyser when draining into the laundry tub), this machine is pretty quiet to me.In fact, I have been leaving my laundry door open now.

Of course, my opinion is still to be determined on longevity and maintenance.I hope to come back a year or two from now and provide an update since only time will tell.

Haier Portable Compact Washing Machine - XQJ5031 Review

Haier Portable Compact Washing Machine - XQJ5031The first washer arrived damaged. I called Target and they were so helpful. UPS picked up the damaged unit with no problem. The new one arrived a couple of days later and thankfully was in perfect condition. We easily put it together. As others have mentioned the directions were kind of vague. But other than that assembly went quickly. It is now up and running. I did two loads of wash in my own apartment last night! It is like a miracle!

I was considering the smaller 8lb. model but I am so glad that I upgraded. The 11lb. model has an agitator, wheels that come with it and are optional to attach, a bleach dispenser and a fabric softener dispenser. It is also super quiet.

I would recommend this to anyone who hates the laundromat and is sick of dragging their clothes out of the house to wash them. I just wish I had know these portable washes existed sooner, I would have bought one a long time ago. It is going to change my life!

If you are thinking about buying one - just do it, you will not regret it.

Speed Queen AWN412 Review

Speed Queen AWN412We had the front loaders from LG, steam model, and do not miss them one bit. My wife went out of town for a week, June 09, and I was in charge. About the third day of laundry, long story but we had been remodeling and I figured it was a good time to do a top to bottom house cleaning. Well, after many loads in the LGs I threw the towel in. I called my local family appliance store in Chelsea Mi and asked them what they recommended in regards to a new washer and new electric dryer as I had had it with the front loaders. He told me the Speed Queens are the way to go, and no, he did not sell me the LGs. I asked about colors... He said, "Sure, you can have any color you want as long as it is white". I told him on the phone that I will take them and asked if he could deliver them tomorrow. The next day I was redoing laundry! And the LGs were sold in a day or two on Craigs List, paying for our new Speed Queens.

Now that we have the Speed Queen washer AWN412, and matching electric dryer ADE3LR, our clothes are now clean and smell fresh. And from many months of usage I would say that the Speed Queens actually use less energy. A typical load of wash in the front loader took near an hour to complete, and then near an hour to get them dry. Sure you may use less water with the front loaders, but we can now do a load of clothes and dry them in an hour, saving time and energy. And again, our clothes and towels are so so much cleaner and that musty front loader smell is now history.

Oh, my wife loves them too, turns out she hated the front loaders as much as I did!

LG : WM2301HW 27in Front-Load Washer with 4.2 cu. ft. Capacity White Review

LG : WM2301HW 27in Front-Load Washer with 4.2 cu. ft. Capacity WhiteOur old washing machine broke a couple of months ago; and, even though we could have fixed it, we decided it was time to go with a new front loader instead. The main reason we wanted front loading machines was because of the space savings when stacked. After a week of research, we settled on either this LG model or the comparable Samsung, based on reading pretty much every review we could find - we settled on the LG because of price.

Aside from the fact that these are extremely heavy compared to our old top loaders, the installation was fairly straight forward. The water hoses are a couple of feet longer than a typical washer hose (even other front loaders), which was great for us since we ended up stacking them a few feet from the water inputs. They are also very easy to setup and use.

At first we were a bit nervous about the height of the machines when stacked, but those fears were completely unfounded. I'm 5'9" and I can access both the washer and dryer with ease. The washer tub is actually tilted upward to make it easier to access when it's sitting on the floor instead of a stand. As a quick reference, if you're worried about the height, the bottom of the dryer opening sits at 54" when stacked, the center of the dryer control knob sits at 76", and the top of the dryer is at 79".

Aside from the obvious space savings, here are the things we've really liked about this washer:
1) It runs very quietly with no noticeable vibration. I was worried about this after reading reviews for other front loaders, but it hasn't been a problem at all - even with both the washer & dryer stacked and running at the same time.
2) It gets our clothes at least as clean as our old washer ever did; but it uses a lot less water to do it. (It's supposed to be easier on the clothes too, but I have no way to verify that.)
3) The controls are intuitive and easy to use.
4) We can fit an amazing amount in each load. Our old washer was a high capacity top loader, but this thing can probably clean almost twice as many clothes in each load. It is especially nice when it comes time to clean bedding that didn't even fit in the old washer.
5) I love the load sense feature. This is one of the things you should read the manual to figure out how to use; but it is definitely worth the effort. Basically, it tells you how much detergent you need to add in order to get the clothes clean for that particular load - I use it to tell me when the load is full by just adding clothes until it says I need the full amount of deterget:). It really does eliminate a lot of guess-work.

As usual, there are some things I wish I could change:
1) You can't use powder detergent with liquid bleach in the same load. You need to have either powder or liquid for both.
2) The controls don't remember settings, which can be a bit irritating since we use the same settings 95% of the time. Luckily they are easy to set, but you do need to reprogram it every time you turn it on.
3) The washer door only opens one way (the hinge is on the left), which is great if that's the way you need it to open. In our case, it opened the wrong way so we had to rearrange the room a bit. Fortunately, the long hoses made it possible to rearrange everything without a lot of extra effort or expense.

Another thing I had read about the front loaders was that the door needs to be left open between loads. I thought this would be a pain, but it really hasn't been a big deal at all. The manual doesn't actually recommend doing that; but says to periodically run a tub clean cycle (I think it says to do it every month) to eliminate any odor. I figure I'll leave the door open as well just to be safe.

Overall we are extremely pleased with these. I guess time will tell if they hold up as well as our old top loader did, but so far I'm pretty confident that they will. I highly recommend these if you're looking for a new washer and dryer.
