I have 2 LG front load washers. Both spray wash and rinse water over the load throughout the cycle. One has a single spray port, the other has 4 spray ports around the boot. To me it seems like a very sensible efficient addition to the machine and would improve wash performance. I just spent...

How ridiculous. How can a child climb in to the drum, and then shut the door on itself. Totally get it if one child inside and another outside to shut the door and hit start button. Nanny state of Australia.

You are correct beehive boy re the spray arms getting blocked. I always check the arm is free to rotate before I start it which at time is difficulty if really fully loaded. Also if there is a blockage or something small has fallen through the rack it can be difficult to retrieve, sometimes...

I have the F&P double dish drawer. The two independent drawers work great and hold a fair bit of crockery etc. I have a second full size Bosch dishwasher in the laundry room. I thought I would need to use it over Christmas as we had friends over but two dish drawers managed big loads easily.

Agree, my front loaders use next to no water for the wash phase yet stuff comes out spotless and smelling really clean and fresh. My F&P washer dryer combo has a setting to add extra water but so far never used it.

So I have run several loads in the new washer dryer and so far am very impressed with it. Below is the user manual...

I paid $5,400 AUD which as of today is $3,703 USD. It is listed as over $6,000 AUD. It is the most expensive washer I have ever bought but it is an early Christmas present to myself. I do get the occasional pang of guilt for spending so much but hay ho.... I will get over it. One thing I am a...

The F&P Washer/Dryer arrived on Monday. It is a beast, had to take the door off to get it in to the laundry room. Only done 2 loads so far, wash and dry and very impressed. Huge massive drum. Touch Screen control panel is not very intuitive and have to keep referring to the online manual to...

TBH I dry everything in the dryer except sheets and underwear. Sheets don’t do well and just ball up and the elastic in underwear doesn’t do well in the dryer. It loses its elasticity.

This debate comes up fairly frequently. I have both FL and TL machines and I really like all of them but in my opinion, FL washers are superior in wash / rinse and spin results. Also they use soooo much less water. OK, they can take a long time to complete a cycle but that is a small sacrifice...

I have 2 LG FL washers, an old 1990s GE Filter flo and a Fisher and Paykel Smartdrive TL washer. I did have a smaller F&P TL washer that I got 2nd hand in 2004 which has just bitten the dust. Very sad. I will be taking delivery very soon of a Fisher and Paykel 18kg washer dryer combo. Very...

Here are the pair when they were hooked up a good few years ago. They are now languishing in our garage. I should probably sell them

I had and still have a Maytag Atlantis pair. Must be over 20 years old. I don’t have them hooked up anymore. Worst washing machine I have ever used. Washed and rinsed really badly and very noisy when running. The drier was pretty good but like all electric driers very expensive to run. I have a...

There is a very similar Samsung model here in Australia but doesn’t have the slanting control panel. Similar spec and cheaper. Just don’t like the look of it. Probably Haier too https://www.harveynorman.com.au/samsung-18-5-10kg-bespoke-ai-heat-pump-combo.html
