15kg LG washer launched in Germany

83kg

Seems awfully light for such a big capacity washer. My Miele is 95kg, 6kg capacity.

One cannot compare FL to TL, but...

...our Candy TL holds 7kg and I doubt it reaches 70kg empty weight...When it comes to the spin cycle I always believe it is going to burst (or blast).

7kg load to 70kg weigth is good. But EU TL machines are always more heavy then FL machines as they have a higher leveled center of gravity. Mieles with 5.5kg TL modells weigth at least 90kg, even through they use GlaronK, a special mixed plastic, for the outher tub...

I just had a look at the Samsung WF 431 (sold over here as a "commercial model") and it only weighs 100 kilos as well - at a rated capacity of 14 kilos.

The Bosch Logixx 10 was around the same weigh for a ten kilo capacity. Besides, it only came with a weak heating element of only 1300 watts IIRC.

Italian machines longevity

I had a German AEG, and the bearings barely lasted 3 years. The Zanussi which followed, lasted 8 years: the motor was on the way out. Now have a Panasonic.

My mum had British Hoover machines, followed by a Candy-ised Hoover Excel which lasted about seven years (motor and electronics). She now has a Bosch aged 7 years.

My sister had a Candy Aquaviva and it lasted about 14 years. Now has a Bosch.

My brother had a Candy Combiwash and it lasted even longer. Now has a Hotpoint.

Samsung 12kg

A WiFi washer... Weight 71 kg, drum volume 79 litres. I think this is way too little. The 60° programme will run 4h4mins, this is ridiculous. 2.400W seems a little bit weak, too.
