For those, like me, who always wondered how the motions actually work, there's a channel on YT showing a LG doing its thing. This is not a super-capacity machine, I think.

Nice technology but only of limited usability. Guess it won't do much for full loads. Also, many cycles only use the tumbling motion. Kenmore.com has a motion chart. I think it's beneficial for small, heavily soiled loads. I read somewhere that some motions are used at certain points in the cycle: filtration + spray to saturate the load, stepping to loosen items after the spin. But haven't seen any reference on Kenmore.com.
I doubt all this rocking will do any good with regards to the bearings etc. |

Just manufacturers trying to fool the public that their mediocre peice of sh**e is better than the next ..............yawn
I look forward to the next series which will probably have at least 8 motion washes and of course quartz lock speed control with a digital read out so you know exactly what speed your machine is spinning at...........which of course is soooooooo important like all the other useless features........................yawn Wake me up when a manufacturer produces a sensible well built no nonsense machine like the ones we used to have |

Another marketing gimmick. The clothes with this kind of action will get equally clean, provided that the load is as small as that showned in their pretentious propaganda campaigns! It doesn't mean of course that all you favourite programmes are going to be delivered in this way by these high tech machines... only some of them for very specific purposes... but I still fail to see any solid advantage compared to a multiple speed tumble action.
Just my views anyway... though I think that generally the latest LG appliances look quite charming. |

The wash rhythms looked almost painful to watch, as logixx pointed out I bet they won't do the machine any good! |

Not sure what the point of "Filtration" is about? You'd think that will push the dirt/suds into the clothes again? |

It does the normal tumbles but every so often does 'filtration' aka distribution. On the delicate cycle it does swings and followed by rotations so clothes are well washed. At the water supply stage it does one of the motions to help dissolve detergent, my aunt has the F1479FDS6 (Black 9KG model with steam) and I was amazed at how well it did with a jam packed load.
Btw- got pics in another thread take care |

![]() Add me to the group that smells a gimmick, here. I suppose it's possible that a couple of the special motions (like the 'swing' for delicates) are beneficial, but I'll be surprised if we see copycats from other manufacturers.
Having said that, just think of the joy future collectors will get from finding one of these. I can imagine a lot of people rolled their eyes at the Apex bouncing basket back in the 1950's, too, and relatively few were sold; but finding one and having such a unique machine in your collection would be fun, even if it wasn't the best idea in laundry engineering. Ditto the indexing wash tub. |

From Kenmore.com - their front loaders only seem to have five motions. Fast-forward the attached video to 4:50 - it has explanation for the "moves".

Will be interesting to see how it performs with a full load in their 11kg capacity machines, I wonder if it would help distribution by randomly breaking up the position of said clothing!!!
Many of the high end machines of multi stages drum rythmns now, even the Fagor model I`m testing has a profile wash (which very much surprised me!!) slow / fast tumble, slow distribution, fast distribution and a 600rpm spin within the wash cycle!!! BUT whatever machine you use (and get to know how it works) they are capable of giving perfectly cleans results, as long as the operator can compensate by calculating the variables!!! ![]() |

![]() We need these new movements to makeup for washing in cold water. When you lower one variable, you must raise another to achieve the end result. Eventually, the paddles in the tub will be spring loaded. When they reach the top of the drum, they will swing down and pound the load into the puddle of ice water.

You would have to own a lot of clothes to only wash once in every few weeks. I have kids and need to do at least 2 loads a week of their things just to keep them dressed. |

![]() Tumbling -- very good lift and drop Swinging -- useless waste of time and energy Stepping -- one step down from tumbling, but why stress the motor and suspension like that? Scrubbing -- more stressful that stepping, and note how some things aren't lifted at all Rolling -- for when you don't have enough pilling or you need more lint in your dryer lint screen and need more Filtration -- Just because you want to whip the water and detergent in there to more suds |
