Welcome to the forum! Lots of great info here and very knowledgeable folks too. I hope you enjoy your visits. :)

There was a comment about front loaders taking much more time than TL. This is true to a degree, but that can be compensated for by choosing a FL with Delay Start and having one load out of the way when one gets up on laundry day. Additionally, modern FL machines have considerably more capacity...

Seems to me that the Bulky cycle with Water Plus gives you more water right off the bat, while the Heavy Duty cycle with Water Plus adds the extra water about 10 minutes before the washing portion is complete giving you a mostly catalyst wash. As far as rinsing, so far I have not had one load...

Peteski - let me know for sure if she did get at least three rinses out of those two cycles. I am just going by memory now. When I first got the machine, I was monitoring everything about each cycle I had used and writing things down as I went. Don't know where those notes are now, so just going...

Hi Peteski. I checked every cycle on my LG, and none would allow Water Plus and Extra Rinse. I know it sucks that we cannot select both, but I am at least glad to hear that there is a workaround if needed.

The Spray n' Wash dupe helped, but did not make everything come out stain free as I had hoped. Next on the list to try is a citrus degreaser. My husband looked at the Sidekick and determined that water had gotten into the electronics board. It seems that sometimes there is a door leak on the...

Vacerator - LOL! It's great to be that free and casual! Folding this way just saves so much space in our drawers, and it does help to keep things organized, which I need to do a better job of.

I do KonMari folding with our clothing. I love how much nicer our clothes drawers look, and how much more I can fit into a drawer with this method of folding. I did not get rid of any of my dish cloths and dish towels, and I was amazed at how what was an overstuffed drawer quickly became tidy...

I'm looking forward to checking it out. If nothing else, perhaps this machine will prompt other manufacturers to bring something similar to the table. I truly believe it's a game changer setup.

Just updating some stuff. I got my hands on some for Shout dupe and have that treated load in now. Will report how that worked out. Secondly, got my Sidekick fired up this morning to run a small load, and it's a no go. It just beeps and bounces around between cycles. None of the buttons...

I have to wait until it shows up at Lowe's to look at it, but I can't wait to see it in person! I will probably wait til one shows up in the scratch and dent section and see what kind of deal I can get on it. Sixteen hundred for the washer is pricey, but it is two machines.

I agree, Dadoes, or something is wrong with the way the agitator is sitting in the machine, but how could that happen? Anyway, my Kenmore 90 Series never shredded anything, but it was hard on the clothing. I just recently purchased an LG FL machine and can now wash hubby's filthy work jeans...

OK, sounds like you are pretty strong for going with the SQ. What about going with used machines, from a dealer and with a warranty, to keep the price down? Or did someone already mention that?

How much capacity do you need? Speed Queen does not offer a lot. The Maytag offers more, and the LG you mentioned offers the most. Have you had a machine with an on-board heater before? Does Speed Queen dumb down their water temps like some (most or all?)modern machine manufacturers nowadays?

I have the LG 3670. I'd get the LG with Turbo wash. Do you need steam? What is the capacity of the SQ? I can wash my king comforter in the 3670, and do bigger loads than in my Kenmore 90 series. What used to be 5 loads is now 3. Delay Start is awesome- I wake up to a load of laundry ready to...

Mark - I have to check out the Sears. I see that mentioned as a favorite a lot. There's really a limited selection when it comes to HE powders vs. liquids and pods. Do you know why powders are supposed to be better for FL machines? Matt - That's quite a deal you got there. Our Dollar General...

Thanks, MattL. I had read that powders are better for front loaders. May I ask how/where you got a year's supply of pods cheap? I see that they cost about 25+ cents each, and larger loads require 2, so it makes it seem as though going with pods are expensive. Dollar General has Tide pods for $2...

I know what you mean, Bruce. Still gun shy from the performance of my previous two FL machines, I find myself always using the Water Plus feature, and that really does make it seem like it is enough water. I am working myself up to not using the Water Plus feature on a load that isn't very...

Mark- That would be great if you could keep your pedestals. Good luck with whichever machine you choose!

GREAT turnover! It does look like it performs very well.
