LG washer problems... already! Not sure wtd.

I remember that when we bought our demo Kenmore 28102 front load they included stainless steel hoses as part of the installation package and no extra for the hoses. Pretty sure they do last way longer and are less prone to just blowing open but I agree making you pay extra or refusing to install it sucks. I'd go down to Best Buy and complain nicely and if the manager is a good guy I bet he'll refund it or do something else to make you happy.

Timeing

The 30min cycle time claim is for an 8 pound load, so really not a whole lot. Bigger loads will increase cycle time.

Ah,

the square door ones. Cool! They look great. Let's pray you never have issues. You will get used to cycle times......it's offset by the fact that they can handle much much MUCH more laundry. I let my laundry build up. I will see a pile of laundry that looks like 8 loads, and it ends up being 4 loads and it gets knocked out pretty quickly. I stopped paying attention to that a LONG time ago. I remember being annoyed at first. I still would never use the normal cycle in any front load machine.

You will get used to it. I remember when I got my LG FLer. I was not happy with the long cycle times, but now I just work around it. I can get away with using the Towels cycle for most loads, except my husband's work clothes And every other load of Whites gets done on Steam. Those two loads that require Steam get thrown in when it doesn't matter how long it takes, OR overnight on Delay Start. I hang my laundry out, so things are done differently than when using a dryer. I can have one load done the night before laundry day - folded neatly in a basket and ready to hang, one load ready to hang when I get up - which gets pulled out and loaded into a basket immediately to fold, and the last load is thrown in right away and can be done in less than an hour, which gives me just enough time to hang out the first two loads and grab a coffee. It works out well and I'm happy with it now, but it took time to adjust.
