Hello Frontloader. Which model is your LG front loader? If found they take quite a bit of washing. How many people are you washing for? As for comparison what you would put in a front loader, I had a Bendix 6kg FL and a Simpson Esprit 5kg model side by side and I could fit bigger loads in the Bendix obvioulsy but think, the same size Drum in the Simpson is now being marketed as a 6kg...
Claimed capacity is just that, claimed, but i have found that the larger size front loaders ( i have had the chance to use three ) will take a load of 15 business shirts. When you sort you load out anyway which is what we should do (esp as we are all laundrophiles here ) that the capacity is enough. I wouldnt ever be washing towels and sheets together LOL no matter how big my washer was.
I had a good look in the laundry products aisle yesterday and found all the regulars, Omomatic, Dynamo Matic, Cold power matic, Radiant matic and Duo matic. Powders and liquids and different size boxes. Much more variety than a few years ago when there was only Omomatic. Also other products can be used in front loaders, I use Radiant Blackwash and it works fine in my front loader, a small layer of suds that breaks down quickly. Also products such as nappysan I have used no problem and of course fabric softener. Thats enough choice for me.
As for cycle times, well 54 minutes is not that bad. The Simpson Esprit took 50 minutes to complete a cycle ( i did time it). My Hootag does a cotton wash in about 70- 80 minutes with the quick wash button, I usually find by the time I have finished cleaning the house its nearly finished.
Hi Shannon,
I dont have a personal collection of washing machines apart from my Hootag. I do have a large image library that I have put together though
What parts of Australia are we all from?
