LG 14U1TBS
Hi Guys and thanks for comments.
I was after a Speen Queen top loading washer, model LWS17. It a commercial made machine and looks very sturdy. The only thing that put me off was the large amounts of hot water needed to complete a wash. I was also worried about the temperature of the hot water after the machine had filled as they do not have an internal heater.
I also looked at the LG F1255FD which can be found on the 365 electrical website. It has a massive 15kg wash load.
Then my partner and I had a look in Currys at the weekend and we both liked the Samsung WH90H7410EW priced at £749.00. As we were looking a nice LG rep came across and started talking to us about LG machine. She showed us the LG14U1TBS and explained all the features on the machine. So we decided to go for the LG which was priced at £549.99 instead of £799.00.
The machine in question looks complicated to use but its really quite simple. You have Cotton, Cotton Large, Mix, Easy Care, Duvet, Allergy Care, Steam Refresh, Gentle Care, Stain Care, Sports Wear, Dark Wash, Silent Wash, Speed 14, & Download Cycle. You can alter the wash to normal wash, turbo wash, intensive wash. As for the rinses you can add an extra rinse or use the medic rinse, which heats the water up to 40c. The temperature range is from cold, 20, 30, 40, 60 & 95.
The steam function can be used during the wash or at the end of the cycle, or both together. Also on the turbo wash cycle it lets you add an extra rinse and can complete a cycle quite fast.
I will let you know how it performs on the next few days.
Cheers
Paul
