I have a TR7 from 2019 and I have to say I’m pleased with the machine. I wanted a machine with lots of cycles and still the ability to select my own water levels.. I definitely didn’t want another front loader.. I fought washing machine smell and pictures falling off my walls with an LG wm2688 for 13 years.. I still have that set for washing bed comforters and maybe if I want to run 2 loads at once .. the second dryer is handy..
I work on old school busses For fun.. think big truck diesel dirty is how I get.. the agitub seems to get my coveralls pretty clean.. for reference I took the same coveralls to a laundromat that has old style whirlpool commercial and another with old speed queen commercial and there’s no difference in how clean they get. My formula for really dirty greasy clothes is hot water. Full tub, a tide pod, a cascade dishwasher pod and a tablespoon of dawn liquid.. works every time..
Maybe the improvements for 2019 made it better? ( what are the improvements from the 2018 to 2019?) my wash action seems to sling things around pretty good. I don’t get that supposedly coveted “turnover” at a high rate but the clothes make their way around and get contacted by each other and the agitator quite a bit. If there’s any negative in my mind it would be the neutral drain.. but the spray rinse is very early in the slow part of the spin so the clothes are easily rinsed which maybe negates the need for a spin drain. Oh and my cycle selection is to use heavy duty button medium soil hot/cold extra rinse and large load
As for a new transmission washer I’m not sure why?? When the old shape agitator could be fitted to the old style tub and use the 1hp inverter motor that’s in the TR series.. a clutch for the tub.. the inverter is more than capable of a fast 210 degree agitation with the tub in neutral. When it’s time to spin engage the clutch and go. You still can keep the lid lock and go no brakes or use the inverter motor as a dynamic brake..
I suppose the commercial entities feel the old style mechanical system is more reliable than inverter motor?
My home air conditioners are 10 years old and have inverter compressors that have never been touched.. they run winter and summer as they heat too.
For all the complaints against the LG I have with odor and vibration as well as inferior cleaning( sweaty summer clothes smelling like butt after washing in the LG.. I can say it never broke down. The dryer finally just needed belt and drum rollers on that set.
lnverter motors are reliable and powerful and you could perform any type of wash action you like.
