Any actual use? I'm interested in buying this as my first FL machine. Does anyone have actual experience using it? I've heard it is a faster cycle time and uses even less water than the "non-steam" versions. Has this been in the Korean market for a few years?? | ||

LG ROCKS!!!
I am the happy owner of an LG WM 2432. It is a 3.7 cu ft front loading machine with a 1200 RPM maximum spin. It is the most intelligent appliance I've ever owned. It's water usage is downright stingy and it's maximum spin has cut drying time in less than half--in fact I dry more stuff on the line and on a rack than ever before. It's dispensing system is very good: it dispenses Wash powder or liquid for main wash, powder for prewash, bleach and softener in whatever final rinse is selected. My only gripe with the dispensing system is that I wish it were set up to work like the dispenser on the Duet's which dispense bleach in the first rinse, when the water is always cool. I would buy this machine again if given the choice. My only constructive criticism of this machine is the water heating system which is somewhat disappointing. The machine is advertised as having a maximum temperature setting of 167 F but it rarely, if ever, reaches above 162. It takes forever to get there and towards the end of the tumbling, the motor begins to strain to turn the clothes. After repeatedly trying to contact LG, they finally fessed up to me that 167 F is the upper limit temperature. The heater can only operate for 30 minutes at one time, so it rarely gets that high. I think LG and the other manufacturers of large capacity front loaders should take a page out of the European manufacturer's engineering design books and wire them to run on 220V instead of 120. They would have a greater range of temperatures and faster cycles. Having said all of this I will iterate that this is a great washing machine; it is quiet and the controls are clear and well designed. I am a pastry chef by trade and I bought this machine in the hopes that it would be able to clean my "whites"--the uniforms I wear at work that get covered with chocolate, blood and fruit juice stains. I can set the machine up to wash a program that I recommend to all of my culinary students: cool prewash with a liquid enzyme detergent ( I can pause the machine here to have an attenuated soakin period), high speed extraction, extremely hot wash with dishwasher detergent ( love the phosphates, also love no suds AT ALL{I'm not paying P & G's HE prices})and I put ammonia, not bleach, in the bleach dispenser which gets dosed in the final 5 minutes of the wash cycle, two cold rinses and a final rinse with softener. Works like a charm. Here's a Fantasy--my retro American Standard puke pink bathroom outfitted with a Hybrid GE '60's/LG high-efficiency pair. Makes me all misty just thinking about it:

I saw it the other day at Best Buy and it almost looks like it's black. It sure did look nice though but I think I would like it in white. | ||

LG Rocks hi bajaespuma. I have the Model WM2032. I also love this machine. It cleans very well. I sometimes wonder though how it cleans with so very little water. I also worry that my clothes are being rinsed well. Do you have the same opinions? Thanks, Ray | ||

For rayjay
No problem at all with rinsing. You can set it to have up to five rinses, but usually the two rinses do the trick especially with the high speed spin cycle. You do, however, have to remember not to use more than 1/4 of the amount of regular detergent in the machine--it's using less than 1/6 of the amount of water as a standard top loader. Also, you do need either an HE detergent (low or no sudsing) or use dishwasher detergent for the Sanitary/extra hot cycle. Does anyone know whether the new LG mentioned runs on 220V or 120V? | ||

Baja, I agree totally, in that these large front loaders for the American market need to expand their offering to include a 220 volt model. I would think it would be a relatively simple addition - the 220 volt circuit could be used just for the water heater, and the 110 volt motor, pump, and controllers could be retained by using just one leg of the 220 volt circuit (which would give 110 volts). Some say this won't happen because there isn't a big enough market for a 220 volt machine. I say nonsense. These mfg's see fit to offer three or four versions of each model, so why not offer a 220 volt version? While I'm at it, I think the mfg's should also allow for reversible washer doors - or offer a right hinged door as an extra cost option. It seems odd to me that the much maligned Maytag Neptune line has managed to offer reversible washer doors since its introduction... without leaks or other issues. High time the others follow suit. | ||
