Haxisfan: Sure clothes dryer were used in Italy since the 60s! Candy had a full line since the introduction of the first lines of automatica! Along with it came the Superdraier 5. Also REX had its Solarex line since the early 80s. As the Ariston/Merloni/Indesit I'm sure they had some but don't...

Welded tubs Sure enough 99% of all the washing machines sold in Europe is made that way. From the most cheap Turkish one to the most expensive stuff from AEG-Electrolux.

Why isn't FIAT just as creative here when it comes at advertising?! The best we get over here is Uma Thurman driving an Alfa Romeo Giulietta... which is quite sad, for Uma, not the car (which I'd but in a second!)

a leap in the right direction Exactly what I think, that's why I was left mesmerized by such a bad record! Anyway if Luke found himself so bad with the machine it's his right to change brand.

how big is that drum actually? As I previously wrote is 112 litres and the thing went on sale over here ages ago...

Yes, but I can order a Miele spare for a machine made in 1980 and they still have it! And on first istance the Miele machine from 1980 will still be working after the repair. If your LG breaks down you simply call the dump and have it picked up...

Gosh, you're having quite a hard luck with your machine! Lemons happen but this is silly heheehehh, the only thing left original in your machine is the cabinet! :O You're right, it it gives you anymore troubles it's a good idea to have it replaced! Even if it leaves me wondering! The new...

On top of that LG spares are among the most expensive on the market and after 8 years they simply disappear from the market and you're left alone! This I was told from one of their service techs... go figure! Only Samsung is a bigger offender when it comes at this!

amount of water water condensing dryers use to dry! On the Candy a total cycle would take a whopping 6,1 kWh! Just as much a current Candy uses for a 8 kg load, washed and dried... and the water my old machine used to dry now is total consumption! Sure technology went on the good path, at least...

use a pretty high water level on the wash Not really you see the water only when it fills and starts heating, as soon as the load saturates there's no visible water, it's a two water level machine 19/14 depending if the 3/5 kg button was depressed or not. So it was really efficient for the...

Been on the market here in Italy for more than a couple of years. Of course I won't trust LG for anything because they have a dreadful reputation, plus they always cheat on what the machine offers. 15 KG my A$$, the drum is only 112 litres... just like stuffing 10/11 kg in a washer with a 74...

Yes modern machines use less water, but energy consumption i Not at all! My old Candy Alisé 16WD from 1985 uses a whopping 1,7 kWh of energy for the 110 minutes 60°C cycle, along 110 litres of water. My modern Candy CMF125 uses 0,85 kWh and 39 litres of water for a 180 minutes wash. Wash time...

and nobody knows the criteria...does anyone? Not really: it's as standardized as it can possibly be. Down to the formula of the detergent used and the composition of the load and even the WAY TO PUT THE GARMENTS IN THE DRUM. I'll fetch the relevant UNI EN norm if you want to know more.

frequently doesn't actually reach 60 degrees So much for the news... it's 10 years that everybody knows this! It happened since the arrival of the A+ and higher classes of effiency. But luckily just pressing the "intensive" or "stainblast" or watherver turns the 60°C ECO cycle in a classic...

Imported from Europe? So was it leased/sold to the Candy group? Or is stuff just coming from the Italian Electrolux factories?

Who owns the Hoover brand in Australia?

No relationshipt to Beko whatsoever! They're made either in Italy or Poland in Indesit factories! They're very good performers, were even tested by our consumer reports, Altroconsumo, months ago and scored "good buy" and "quality for the price". Beating many other brands and being only after...

GROSS! Here something like that is sold on "ECO" friendly stores and internet shops. A total scam! Was even tested by our consumer repoports, Altroconsumo, and results were just like washing in water alone! Go figure if somebody starts using that in every load all the time, YUCK!

put a fan which blows air into the tub and moisture sensors Or educate the consumers better as was done over here for ages! (sadly a thing that is starting to disappear!) Sure most of the rage against front loaders would disappear in seconds.

what is referred to as a brown out. Luckily I never experienced one ever. And power hasn't failed since 2003 (the big Italian black-out). Our infrastructure is fairly efficient and voltage drop is minimal and anyways always in the range of +/- 6% and all the machines can cope with that as it's...
