Yes, Martin. At some point I may have to throw in the towel. :/ Mark -Lol....In that case, maybe you need to start researching what to get next. What features will you be looking for now that youve had a FL all these years? Any ideas on what you'd want next? I am glad to hear your WD is still...

The oil rig laundry guy - Yeah,the stuff he's using is probably not suitable for a residential machine. But he could at least tell me, right? :) Another thing I really like about my machine is that the drum is tilted back just like a Neptune. Seems to me that the tilted drum could hold more...

Bruce - I have tried the Goop hand soap. It was a disappointment, especially since it says something about being the best stain remover and it has a picture of clothes hanging on the line. I was bummed. On the Lestoil -I was over on Amazon reading reviews of the various stain treatments, and...

There is this guy on YouTube who runs a laundry service for the oil drilling rigs, and he gets in laundry that looks worse than mine, and it's grease. He throws in a some different powders into a commercial FL machine, and the stuff comes out clean! I have asked him what he is using, but he...

I have the LG 3670, and a dog that sheds like crazy AND I also hang my laundry. Glad to see another "hanger"...lol. As far as pet hair, I do see some on some types of fabric. For some reason it sticks to my husband's work hoodies the worst, and I saw some stuck to the sheets and pillowcases...

Strickly - I agree, a person should get what works best for them and their situation. I came from a FL to a Whirlpool wringer washer and a Kenmore 90 series, because the FL was poor at cleaning,and my aunt told me that nothing cleaned like her old wringer. So I got one. It was awesome at...

Cameron - I know what you are saying as far as starting out with a cold drum and clothes, but you'd be surprised that this little machine has about 4 inches deep water upon fill. It seems to me that it should be enough to at least get the water lukewarm. I chose the Normal cycle, so next time I...

Askolover - Now that you mention it, I remember smelling Lestoil coming from the washing machine when I was growing up. My dad worked on heavy equipment. Her and I don't speak, or I would ask her how it worked out before I go and buy it.

I got the chance to really put this washer to the test on laundry day, so I may as well make a review in case someone in the future comes here searching and finds this. I think the agitation is superb, and the rinse + spin out good - though the spin out seems better with heavier fabrics...

Askolover - I have tried the ammonia, hot water and good soap to no avail. Last time I washed the shirts and hoodies in the Kenmore, I used Gain with bleach and was pleased with the results. Though they were not perfectly clean, they came out better than usual. I'm going to have to be careful...

Thanks, Mark - Perhaps I can try Dawn on the hoodies, and straight detergent on the shirts.

Thank you, Yogi - I can try rubbing detergent into the stains next....But I am wondering something...if I am using straight detergent, am I risking over-sudsing in the FL? The T-shirt fabric is 50% cotton / 50% polyester. It must be the polyester holding on to the stains, because the jeans are...

Embarrasingly, this washer is not called the LG TrueSteam. It is the LG Steam with TrueBalance, specifically the WM3670HVA. Duh. Sorry for any confusion that caused! Update since laundry day: My husband's filthy work jeans came out clean, just as in the Kenmore. Impressive, since my previous...

Autowash - What failed on your Whirlpool Gold? How long did it last? I've had one for at least 6 years, and it's been great. Curious as to how long I can expect it to last and what might fail first. Any particular reason to not go with another Whirlpool Gold?

That's a shame about the local dealer. I just "spoke" with an appliance repair tech on YouTube the other day who said the same thing - can't get parts for Samsung right away. He said he had to wait weeks to get them, so he refused to work on Samsung washers/dryers anymore. So Dadoes - how...

Vacerator - Thank you for explaining that. We were thinking of installing a blender before the washer inlet, or switching the water lines. Sounds like that would not have worked either, per your explanation. Now the full size LG FL washer we got to go with this little Sidekick is doing great as...

Strickly- I went to the next faucet after the washer and ran it til hot water came out. Perhaps it is not enough?

So as I posted in another thread, we picked up this sweet little machine last Saturday. I did one test load in it, and had it set to Warm water. I checked it partway through, and the water was cold. Has this happened to anyone else? Could something not be right? My husband said the Hot water...

I can't find my old post, but briefly......Some time ago, I had posted lamenting about no lint filters in modern TL washing machines. Some suggested going to a FL, which creates less lint, which I was resistant to because I had two FL previously that did not seem to perform well. Some ideas and...

Whitetub-We have HE TLers with a lint filter in the US? Which ones?
