Hello all
My aunts Hotpoint WMA76 (silver) had it's bearings gone after 7 years with approximately minimum 3 washes and maximum 5 washes a day. A lot of washing and no repairs in 7 years, pretty impressive :) Now, I had the task of choosing the new one, it had to be big, with features like pre wash, child lock etc etc. They wanted a black washing machine as they are soon getting the matching dryer when the hotpoint ultima tcd60 pakcs up which was bought as a pair with washing machine. We decided on the LG steam 9kg in black, as we wanted a machine with steam. I started the first wash as we had about 4 to do on the first day! It was cottons 40oc with time save and max spin (1400). It was virtually silent, except when draining and filling which wasn't loud an all. Everyone was impressed especially with the steam function and 6 motion wash system :) I couldn't take any videos, unfortunately. however I had my phone with me so took some pictures :) BTW- got it on 23/12/10 which was in time for xmas :D nice pressie for aunt haha Enjoy everyone :) |

very similait to my swan (daewoo) 9kg steam washer i got a few months back and its great. nice big drum. i got it thinking i would do less wash loads a day and now i find i do more lol. i can get king size duvets in. curtains even the huge rug in the living room
like the LG mine has the direct drive and its so quiet you can barely hear it. even on spin you can hear it a little and it sounds like a plane engine when on 1400 rpm good luck with the machine, i have heard nothing but good comments about the model you have bought Robbie |

The only thing standard about that width outside of North America.
It is not 'the standard' as such anywhere else, especially for front load machines. We have access to LG/Samsung's large 27" machines here, but most if not all other manufacturers that sell in our market, sell 24" machines. Large frame i.e. 27" machines, are not popular here compared to the European norm of 24" machines. Much of the 'size' issue originally relates back to the size of cabinets used in kitchens and laundry rooms. The vast majority of cabinets used are available in 30/45/60cm (12/18/24") widths straight 'off the shelf' so it made sense to have machines that could be 'fitted'. Australia, and many other countrys, have followed the European norm with kitchen and laundry cabinets and, as a result, with front-load machines too. With the increase in kitchen and laundry renovations and the purchase of front load machines in this country now out-selling top load, people design their rooms to be sleek and contempory and thus often build in their washer under the bench. Given that our cabinets follow the European norm, people purchase a machine to fit - 24" On the other hand, there seems to be no standard what so ever for top load machines....Every thing from 55cm to 67cm is available... |
