New Kenmore Washers released

[appnut]

the express sanitize cycle is the only cycle which attempts to use sanitize water temp.  And given what Eugene says above, combined with the fact you cannot increase soil level on that cycle to lengthen wash time to give more time for water heating, I don't like this machine.  I like the Frigilux version better because there's a regular Sanitize cycle as well as an Allergen cycle, neither of which are on the Kenmore version.  Sears offers numersous deliciate cycles instead.

About the motor: this washer works with Direct or Belt Drive?

 

[appnut]

Good Lord!!  The list price on these is $2000!!! 

 

[mark_wpduet]

Right Appnut

But wouldn't that be the same as spending 300 dollars for a washer in 1972?

Of course, the 1972 washer would LAST

One could just buy three 600 bucks machines too.

Or buy just one or two and buy those 48 shirts!

They are also available in Lemongrass!!!! (AKA Avocado) YUK!!!!

 

[appnut]

Lemongrass

chuck, the images I saw of that color are different than the iconic avocado.  There's more "yellow" tones to it.  On the other side of the coin, I'm not too wild about the blackberry or some such berry color.

Pricing Relative

I think the pricing on the newer machines is relative. Someone has to pay for the technology being put into these new devices. Generally, it is the public that is willing to pay for new innovation. Sometimes the innovation is awesome and sometimes its a flop. The one thing LG has going for it is their talent for putting something in a pretty package.

A lot of folks here may not be as excited to see LG products and how they have come to be.However, The latest issue of Consumer Reports rates their front loading washers and gas and electric dryers as the most reliable ones on the market. Their performance ratings too are very respectable.I have had them and am glad I did.They did a great job in getting my laundry spotless and the dryer dries really fast. Because of the direct drive mechanism, during the spin mode,the drum will spin either way,clockwise or counter clockwise depending on which way it is moving to sense the balance of the load. I found this out by accident when I was watching it run through the cycle. I had only seen it spin clockwise prior to this but,it went counter clockwise and made me wonder so much why that I emailed their customer service only to learn that it is normal for them to do that and their balance system along with the direct drive is why.

As far as their top loaders go, I am so impressed with it and would not even think of getting any other type of top loading washer.I've used the Whirlpool Cabrios and was not at all impressed.I like the LGs much better.They spin faster and move the clothes from top to bottom a lot more frequently.

Persons at local laundromat arriving with one, two or several large bin liners full of laundry. Cram it all into the 50lb SQ washer (regardless of over loading or not), and start the machine. Darks, lites, whites, dog blankets, towels, the whole lot, in that one wash load.

Oh Laundress, you forgot to mention the soap suds shooting out of the soap dispenser on top of the machine as the machine is in motion. This is in both the wash and rinse cycles!

nice and i also love the 18 minute wash cycle on this new washer model thank you for posting this

 

[appnut]

18 minute wash cycle

Gee, a 5 minute wash, one or two quick rinses, with no spins inbetween, and a 5 minute final spin.  That's a cycle intended for 2 or 3 items and that's it, not a full load. 

 

[pierreandreply4]

well for me its perfect full load or not its a time saver for me if i look at the 52 minute wash thats a complete waste of time if i had that kind of washer today it would always be set to the 18 minute wash with is more than engough at least for me in my case that is.

Kenmore is only a brand name, they don't produce any appliances.  they source from manufacturers like Whirlpool, GE, LG, ...

I can totally see this happening too. LOL! I'm glad I don't go to Laundromats. I couldn't stand to see something like that. All of that half A$$ washing and then baking it all back on in the dryer.........YUK!

A mind F^^K is only good for some people...

Laundromat:

For the LG FL machines, You'll be impressed until the seal fails, trashes the bearings.  The water leaks out the back, ruins the hall-effect sensor, and the stator of the direct drive motor.  Then all of a sudden, it won't be quite as impressive as you think.

Have a good look at it! (duck and runs) lol!
