--here in U.S.A.,run on 110 volts and as the smaller 24 inch units may save space,when used correctly by removing half the load once the final spin has ended,drying it after the first half load has finished,they are not as convenient as they may seam.Those who are that limited on floor space may find them usefull but wind up not getting all of the practicle use of them as those who have the full size units.I sold at least 50 of the full size 27" L.G.models like the one shown on CL and only had one dissatisfied customer who assumed the door was reverseable.There were many questions asked and the most comon was "how much does it hold?" If you weigh clothes on a scale,you can wash a full 20 pounds of laundry in them BUT,unless you are hanging your wash out,you will get excelent results (2.5 minute cycle) when you wash a ten pound load without removal of any wash.Those who followed that rule,love them and sell their friends/family on them. The only negative issues are that the door must be left open because the steam that remains after these ventless models are finished drying must escape.those who did not follow through on that got rust marks developing around the door frame.The "button catcher" MUST be cleaned on a weekly basis.Lint that acumulates in it can cause pump failier and not allow the remaining water to drain. I never owned one of the full size 27 inch models but the 24 inch models I had two of were great and I had one on the pool deck and one in the 2nd floor bathroom closet.The one on the pool deck was completely useful and did all the towels and bathing suites in abot 110 minutes.We usualy ran three towels and five pieces of bathing suites.Both units were free from a local used appliance store that hated front loaders.Our friends freaked out seeing it next to the gas grill,but there was a hookup right there and it was extreamly convenient.Both worked fine but one had to be repaired after three washes and the part took 7 months to get.LG claimed the company that made the part had been on strike.So,they extended the waranty another year!I sold them before my exodous from the mainland and got $450 each for them. One was white and the other was Titanium.Go for it! |

Depends on how much you wash? Stacking F/L machines would be faster. Actually a lot faster that unit can wash 22lbs and dry 11, It might be perfect for your needs, I would be very dissatisfied. alr2903 |
