    Need to decide today on LG 3370 versus 3570 Front Load Washer

    I got a 3170 for $500. at best buy. It's been a great washer. Washes my very dirty refinery coveralls really well.

    Correct water level for a FL washer.

    1/4" less you say? I'll brake out my precision scale and get right on that. But I'm going to go with 6mm, just to be on the safe side.

    First wash in TSPP

    Just the package. The label in the pic is one I was looking at. I sent an email to the seller and asked, he replied 75%. I found some other brand for a little more money that is 97%.

    First wash in TSPP

    Got my STPP in the mail today. It's a bit more pure than the stuff in your pic, but most likely will have the same results. I'm doing a load now. Fyi, it seems to cut down the suds level, which is a plus in my book. You can see the suds level in this video. Without the STPP, there are about...

    Saw a walmart ad for Persil--- what is it really?

    Cool! I've got a couple of pounds due in the morning. Can wait! I'm going to buy some white hand towels and stain them up, as to compare the Persil, Tide HeTurbo powders with and without STPP. I'll post pics.

    Saw a walmart ad for Persil--- what is it really?

    Cheryl Whats your ratio for STPP to detergent? I bought some Sodium Tripolyphosphate, and I'm starting from zero. What ratio's have you tried, and what worked best? Thanks.

    Your favourite modern washing machine

    Favorite modern washer would be an LG. Favorite Washer would be a SQ, but they are not modern, as there cycles/programs seem to be very dated. Now if SQ and LG could build a machine together, we have a Modern long lasting washer. I only mention this because my friend David just got a SQ FL...

    How BIG is Samsung?

    I had factors on being a renter, and short term returns over going to the Laundromat. I wanted a SQ FL digital. But could not justify the $1800.plus cost. My two factors on buying an LG over a Samsung, were the reviews, as Samsung has about twice the amount of unhappy campers. They may also...

    Which new FL to get???

    I just got a new FL washer a few weeks back. I started out by looking at SQ. I was hot to get one, but I read about a few folks having issues. I thought, Do I want to drop $1800. on a SQ? There warranty is 5 years, and they claim the machine is built to run for 25 trouble free years, so why not...

    How BIG is Samsung?

    I now feel better about Samsung after watching that video. I think it's wonderful how a small company from a small country, can achieve such a growth. Sort of wish I'd bought a Samsung FL in stead of the LG. Given the size of Samsung, I would not be surprised if LG sourced some of there parts...

    From Electrolux to LG.

    Thanks for the reply! The water level looks good from the start. During a wash, when the drum pauses, the water raises to the edge of the drum. Any higher and I could not open the door, without a spill. I mis the simplicity of the Eletrolux(Kenmore 417.420). And sort of wish I should have fix...

    Dollar store find!

    Just did a medium sized load with the Tide/Lemon, and it appears to be He detergent, as with one oz., I got almost no suds. Running two oz. of detergent got normal suds for a He detergent. Cleaned very well, as good as tide with bleach or the new Persil ProClean powers.

    Dollar store find!

    Well I just tried the Ariel, did one oz. for a small sized load, and got Suds city. I mean like more suds than i've seen in a long time. So don't buy it for your He machine. It does seem to be very good soap.

    Not sure about phosphates. Phosphates are a good thing correct?

    From Electrolux to LG.

    Hi all, second post. Just when I thought I've cover the whole internet, I find one more forum. Will the search ever end? No. Any way, I've had a really nice Electrolux FL washer for the last 12 years. A couple of weeks back the spider broke. I tore the machine apart, as to fix it. When I found...

    Dollar store find!

    Popped into the local dollar store, only to be surprised to see imported laundry detergent. They have Ariel 250g for a $1. & Tide 260g with lemon for a $1.
