New LG washing machine May 2014

Hmm, I'm not convinced that'll work particularly well, but we'll see.

I wonder if these LGs will let you add rinses to a quick cycle, I know some of the older ones wouldn't.

According to the manual (link below), every cycle allows Rinse+ to be added and some also allow the 40C Medic Rinse.

6 + hours for a cycle is crazy.

If this is where technology is taking us then I am going to stay in the stone age and keep my AEG 88840 going for as long as I can.

I can kind of see how they increase the length of the wash to compensate for lack of temperature but honestly is it really going to come out that clean? After all if I wanted to take that long to wash whites etc I can soak them in a bucket over night and that uses even less energy!!!

So yah boo LG I am keeping my 10 year old washer that still is as good and clean as it was when new and you can keep your 1 rinse express wash this old AEG has double the time save as you can press it twice but to be honest I have never bothered with it as I like my things to be washed and rinsed thoroughly and if I get a mountain of laundry I can always pull up a twin tub...

Tested our Bauknechts 4h cycle at 60° (reaching only A+++), and I have to say, I am impressed. I ran the other part of the bedding through the AEG 60° shortend to 2:10, dried it and just 10 min later, the Bauknecht cycle completed. Used intensive rinse, but it really washed well. It started with 1h cold wash, than a 45min enzyme stage (35° peak) and than reheated to 50° I think and had about an hour main wash left. The bedding felt just as clean, if not cleaner that the AEG load.

LG is my absolute favorite brand of new appliances. I have and had both types of washers and those I sold have yet to brake down. Those I kept also have no issues. They look great,work great and are lots of fun to watch. Great customer service and great frequency of repair records.

What I like about LG is they are one of the few cheaper front loaders you can still buy a spider rather than a whole drum assembly. It is often the difference between a viable repair and a scrapped machine.

My everyday use machine is an LG intellowasher, I'd guess about 15 years old by now?? I got it with a broken spider, replaced the spider and fitted new SKF bearings and seal, it has been reliable ever since. Downside - suspension is poorly designed so it jumps forward when out of balance, and it occasionally burps water through the dispenser drawer, a known issue with the model due to inadequate drum ventilation during fill. I have made the official modification but it still happens sometimes. Still, I like the machine so it remains in use...
