15kg...

Who ever needs to wash that much anyway? Even I with all the washing I do can cope with a 5 kilo machine :-p. The LG could get the average person down to 2 or 3 loads a month!!

This spiral DD motor which is a power it led and also the water the existing product compared to 11% and 60% about to improve a wash power and a dehydration power each and the war potential amount used reduced 12% and 10% each,


=> (Because of) this spiral direct-drive motor which powers it, and also the water the existing product uses, comes to an 11% and 60% improvement, approximately, in washing power and extraction; and potentially reduces water-use by 12% and 10% each.

Beautiful machines and look at those COLORS! Price is a little steep (it should be $3K for the SET) and who will know about the initial reliability?

Sorry, I'd rather go for a Wascomat instead...at least I know they'll hold up!

I wonder how a load of 15 kg is going to be heated. Would this be a 220V model?

Loius:
Who says it is going to be heated?
That is not a local cultural imperative.

But i'm with you; IF a heater is on-board 220v makes more sense.

Perhaps the motor will pause (except for a very bried turn-over ever few minutes) while the heater is energized to maximize the allowable size of the heater.

OR if they were really smart.

Give it a std. 110v plug and cord (flex) with the option to rewire (by cutting off cord and adding one appropirate for North American 220v) at the terminal box, like older GE dryers. (You'd shift one wire from a 2nd hot-leg to the neutral t6o go from 220 to 110).

Then, have a procedure to re-program the "timer" (computer board actually) to ALLOW motor and heater use simultaneously.)

Conversion of 15 kg

I asked on another forum for a conversion for the 15 KG. Posters were in agreement that 15 kg is equal to 33.07 lbs of laundry. The Duet, by comparison, only hold 9.07 KG of laundry or 20 lbs.

That's incredible that this machine can hold over 1/3 more than the Duet!

There was also discussion that although commercial laundry standards vary, this capacity would be close to a triple load commercial machine!

This sounds right. I recall last time I was in the local laundry they had a sign up stating the double loaders would handle 20 lbs of clothes and the "senior" wascomat 35 lbs.

My only question would be what its dimensions are. If it is the same footprint as the Duet, that's great, but if it is larger I know a laundry rooms wouldn't handle it. On the other hand, I would be curious as to how they would be able to make it 1/3 larger without increasing either the depth or width compared to the Duet.

If nose to fingertip (on a British male) is a yard...

Three feet
36 inches
36/40ths of a meter,

Then how wide would you guess these are?
I'm going with 30 inches being 2.5 feet.

(or is it stated and am I once again embarassing (sp?) myself?)

Which is USA or Japan?

LG- "Life's Good" is Korean and I believe a re-incarnation of the company that made Gold-Star electronics.

Hi Steve,
The full name of Goldstar Electronics was Lucky Goldstar this is where the LG comes from.

I think that 15Kg LG washer is awesome it's the answer for large families with a lot of laundry. Since I got my 8.2Kg Whirlpool top loader and my 7Kg Dyson Contra Rotator I could never go back to a pathetic 5Kg or 6Kg European front loader again, a domestic washer should be able to wash all bedding in the home including a King Size Comforter.

All the best.
Hugh

Nice; now let's have emerald green while we're at it... Though, red white & blue is a nice gesture at a time when much of the world has been severely alienated by our foreign policy; I'd take it as a sign of friendship between SK & the US, rather than a cynical marketing ploy.

35# is about three weeks' worth for me. But I have clothesline space for at most about 10# at a time, so I couldn't make good use of the added capacity.

LG is taking a gamble here getting into an obviously high-end machine, seeing as some of their more basic ones have gotten spotty reputations for reliability and repair issues. Perhaps a sign that LG is making a serious effort at quality improvements.

I'm goign to speculate that the way they get the extra capacity is by mounting the drum at a slightly inclined axis, and using some means such as paddle shape and/or porthole glass shape to move the load laterally across the axis of rotation.

For evidence, look at the pictures and note that the round black hubs at the back of the drums on both machines, are slightly below the center line of the windows in the doors (inclined axis), and the windows themselves appear to be less deep at the top than at the bottom (to act as chutes to slide the load back toward the rear of the drum). The inclined axis plus lateral movement would also enable some degree of water conservation compared to horizontal. I'm also going to guess the angle of the drum is between 10 and 15 degrees, as per the percentage of water savings.

I'm also going to bet that the red ones become quite popular in places that have to handle infectious loads separately from normal loads, and in those cases, the other machine would be white or blue, and therefore the sales of red ones into that market segment would be equal to the sum of sales of the white and blue ones.
