That is a very attractive machine, and I like the control panel, which seems very intuitive. Steven, would it be possible, at your convenience, to look and see where this machine was built/assembled? | ||

5 Rinses
LG quality here in Germany is seen as very good. But after the bullsh** (sorry PC police, forgot we are supposed to pretend) I got told at Homo Depot a few weeks ago; I will not buy anything from them in the US: Me: "So I hear they have serious service problems? Sales Weeny Idiot: "They are our top of the line. Even men find them easy to use" The fantasy continues: Me: "Well, yeah, they look good, but I hear folks have trouble getting them repaired." Sales Weeny Idiot: "They outsell GE Performa with our high-end customers. Your wife will just love all the stainless steel." (What a jerk. There I am in my pill-box hat, my whiter-than-white Samantha Steven's purse under my arm and he thinks I'm straight?) My "wife" needs to shave twice before lunch, mister...but I digress. Anytime a salesman avoids a direct question twice, you know they are lying to you through their teeth. Never had any trouble with my LG here...but what should a US consumer do, ship their problem child over here to get it fixed? | ||

Nice One!!
Hi Steve Looks a nice size drum, does the waterfall work all the time etc?? and I`m sure I saw one of these machines shooting jets of water from the holes in the plate and from the middle disc, does yours do this?? Is it ultra quiet in operation??, have you looked at the transmission/motor etc... Have fun, Mike | ||

Kevin i'm working on it as we speak. A fiendishly clever door sensor is incorperated in this machine with a hidden magnetic switch in the lid and under the top rim. Its a pain to fiddle but i'm nearly there with it so vids coming yeah. Steve | ||

Cool vids - thanks! The spin is amazingly quiet, kind of reminds me of our spin dryer. The auto load recognition really seems to work. BUT: how do you like turn-over? In the vid it seemed like to items would be swishing back and forth but there didn't seem to be a lot of turn-over. BTW: the putfile.com videos have a much better resolution. I, too, noticed that after uploading my dishwasher videos - the quality dropped *in some cases* dramatically after YouTube down-sized the video file. :( Alex | ||

I was successful in locating and saving WMV clips of your LG and Hoover washing machine demos. In my situation, lack of eyesight did not hamper my enjoyment of these videos, as the sound quality was such that I could get a good audio view of how these machines work. Many thanks for these washer videos!--Laundry Shark | ||

5 Rinses Keven- I remember that day at the "depot", you were in your nighty, hair in curlers, and green Grinch slippers. I'm sure the salesman was doing his best because he thought you were fresh off the "tour" bus. The guy was truly a geek! T | ||

would never fly over here
We have the situation here in Germany that the only people who use top loaders are either folks with lots of space or very little. Top loaders in 40-45cm widths often end up in small bathrooms where there is no space for the 60x60cm units. Since nearly all kitchens use "built-in" counters with continuous counter tops, adapting one to fit is a real pain. I had one for a long time (Miele) and loved it. But these are H-Axis machines with low water levels. Given that our laundry comes out cleaner with less water, detergent and energy use than with these designs, I don't see how they would appeal to anyone except me. I love Rube Goldberg solutions - but most folks I know would say "too complicated" "too loud" "a repair waiting to happen". And the energy/water ratings would kill them. I also wonder just how well they would work with the problem of heating the water. The UK is radically different to the rest of Europe here, there they might stand a chance. Many British machines expect a hot water input, here that is extraordinary. And heating that much water to a useful temperature with a 2000W element...there goes any time savings. LG in Germany at least, has a good reputation. I know five people besides me with LGs - none of us have had any problems and the service is properly organized. In the US, based on what I have read here and in other forums (together with what the obviously rehearsed lies the idiot sales in-duh-vi-dual at Homo-Depot said about how good there service was)I would never buy an LG anything. | ||

a mistake... I meant to say, in the last line of the previous message, that I'd be up to buy an energy efficient V-axis top loader!! Silly me.... David | ||

David i'd certianly be up for one of those too. I'd love the smaller Lg top loaders they do which wouldn't take up as much space as this beast does but alas they don't sell them here. Steve | ||
