Home Appliance Reviews

I wanted to like this washer, but after three years, I’m done with it.

It had almost all the features - an almost endless choice of cycles (there are 14 choices of cycles), water temps, spin speeds, a digital readout for time left, great capacity, etc. It cleaned very well in a reasonable amount of time and the spin cycle left the clothes almost dry! Having had a front loader in my old house, I knew that it can be hard on your back, so I got this one with a pedestal. What a relief!

This is the best washer %26amp; dryer set I have ever owned! Yes, it is expensive but I have no regrets. LG and Korean manufacturers are really giving the Japanese and other asian mfg’s a run for their money these days! LG (Lucky Goldstar or Life’s Good) has come a long way since its bargain Goldstar days.

When our over-20-year-old Maytag washer started making a noise and acting wonky, I started researching front-load washing machines. After exhaustive research, we decided on the LG WM2233H. I watched store advertisements, and we purchased this on sale at Home Depot.

Specs~

The wash capacity in this machine is 3.32 cubic feet, which is the equivalent of a 3.83 cubic foot agitator washer. It weighs 190 pounds, and its measurements are 27%26rdquo; W x 29 %26frac34;%26rdquo; D x 38 11/16%26rdquo; H. With the door of the washer open, the depth is 50 13/16%26rdquo;. We purchased the optional pedestal, which adds 13%26rdquo; to the height of the machine. The maximum spin speed is a whopping 1100 rpm. At the time of our purchase, this machine was available in white, pewter, blue, and red. All colors except white were about $200 more.

This machine was priced in the low to low-mid range at around 400.00. It’s a nice washer to look at, and it contains a fairly ample wash tub, but this is where the positive features end.

The machine has the standard options for warm wash, hot wash and cold wash, and inside the lid are color-coded pictorials suggesting which temps and which settings are best for various types of clothing. There is a fabric-softener dispenser in the center of the tub.

Change is a difficult thing for some folks. Consumers have actually become a little more likely to take chances they otherwise wouldn’t with greater access to the internet. This is perhaps why Bosch appliances have taken off like they have. I have been using Bosch appliances for about six years, personally and commercially, with no complaints.

The Axxis Front Loading Series is their compact series that delivers a great deal of value for consumers with lighter or more discriminating wash criteria. The WFL2090UC is one of the current lineup of stellar washers that deserves some consideration

I purchased this Samsung Silver Care series Washer in July 2008. Silver care shoots silver ions throughout your wash to get rid of something like 99.7% of germs…and it does this using COLD water. (You can turn silver on or off depending on what type of load you’re doing.) Samsung brand received the JD Powers award for washer/dryers.

I never thought I would have the need for such a machine as this one that is a combination top load washer with a dryer stacked above it. As it is I did have a need as did the rest of my family on a one week vacation. We had an apartment type accommodation and in the bathroom was this stacked washer and dryer combination. We used it that week and we used it hard.
