So I think with part of my income tax return, we're going to buy a new front loader. Our Whirlpool TL does fine, but our water rates are going up quite a bit this year. Even our meter rate went from $1/mth to $18/mth...just to have a meter! So I think its time to be a little bit more energy conscious. So I wanted some input from you guys that have experience with the LG brand. This on that I have picked out is right in my price range, and is really the only one in this price range with 4.0 cu.ft. Pros/Cons? Thanks for any info! Aaron CLICK HERE TO GO TO aaronfitzy's LINK |

I would never buy another LG product - service is very bad. But being it is through sears it may be better. FYI I have a friend that has this same machine and the water usage is to little. The clothes don't get rinsed out good with one of these monsters. It would be like going from one extreme to another. I am at the point where I would rather buy Non energy savings products that get the job done right! Peter |

Thanks for that bit of info! So what problems have you had with your LG? I do purchase alot of my things through Sears, since they are 3 miles down the road from me. And the Sears store here in my town actually has a good reputation for coming right out when there is a problem, and they really try to make good when something hasn't been resolved quickly. I can't afford a Miele, so I'm just trying to start somewhere with a brand. Samsung has caught my attention also. It seems that Whirlpool/Kenmore/Frigidaire haven't had very good reviews.

I had a LG combo a few years back and to make a long story real short I couldn't get service. (U can check LG Service Nightmare in google) u can read my story. I do recommend U give the Frigidaire a chance U get a lot of bang for the buck. The Samsung from what I have seen is excellent but more pricy. But remember they are all to stingy with water and the cycle times R much longer. The other bad thing about LG is it takes forever to go into a spin. (a lot of time wasted) - keep us posted. Peter |

...if you would consider Miele... Especially the compact, European sized machines which are comparable in size (or close to it) to Miele machines... CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK |

13.000 gallons is 50.000 litres, that's what we use in 80 days, in a house of 4 people! And, mind it, we all shower everyday! Our last bill was for 64 cubic metres of water in 100 days. |

Larry, 12-13K gallons every three months? That works out to be 4K gallons a month average. To me, that's a huge amount for one person. In the winter time when I don't have to water the yard, I average between 1400 and 2000 gallons. With the old LK Shredmore it was about 200 gallons a month more. My next door neighbors are retired elderly and they use no more than 3000 gallons a month at the most, I've asked cuz I was curious.
