I don't know if this has been discussed here before but has anyone seen the new (new to me) suspension system on the LG front load washers?
This is for model LG F1443KDS. Are these washers even in the USA? In the Youtube video provided at (time) 2:45 they show the new suspension. It looks pretty cool and seems like an innovative design. Although I'm not a huge LG fan, this washer (over all) does look interesting. Has anyone experienced this washer or the suspension system shown in the video? Does this new suspension make a difference? CLICK HERE TO GO TO georgect's LINK | ||

11KG LG
I have one of theas machines, its totaly silent it spins upto 1400rpm and if you listen you can just hear it.
If I was picking flys its too fussy with smaller lodes it will mess about balancing it for ages before it makes its mide up about spinning. its amazing how much you can get in it. Had it repaird 3 times because it kept thinking it was a small load when it was fully loded turned out they had had a bad bach of computer bords.

fussy FL's
The best way to stop the fussyness of spinning is not to use FL's for too small a load, The 5kg ones just spin but above 7kg its fuss fuss fuss. This is exspesialy true of the 1600rpm machines as an unbalanced lode would shake the machine to bits very quikly.
A good tip I discoverd is if you finde the machine fussing switch it off and on and select just spin only this seems to work for the LG and she is a fussy cow at times. | ||

LG 11kg review
If you live in a house with 6 other people who all seem to live in the bathroom and have clean clothes on every 20 mins then this is the machine for you.
The build quality is generaly very good, it waighs a tonne. Knobs and buttons seem good and solid and responsive. There are 3 king size beds and I can get all the covers and pillow cases of two of them in in one go ( 2x kigsize duvet covers 12 pillow cases and two king size flat sheets ) The oh god wash at 60c can take upto 3 hours and that includes washing, 4 rinces and spin and a final spin at 1400rpm. However pressing the time save button ruduces it to 2 hours ! A 40c standard wash full is about 1hr 30. It has a 60c 1 hr wash 2 rices and spin which dose a very good job. The medic rince for people with alergys adds an hour to everything ( not nessisary in this house) I like the spray it dose while it washes and rinces, it dose this because the drum is tilted backwards and with so littel water that it uses it makes shure everything is thoroughly soked. The tumble action is exselent you are in no boubt things are getting a good scrub,it also spins intermitantly throughout the wash cycle. ( not on delicateas) Generaly I would buy another one. | ||

dryer hahaha not too sure hey. do you want to import whirlpool heavy duty? with the exchange rate it'll probable work out cheaper than from the States. the dryer costs about R3800 brand new which is 380 pounds then you just add the shipping charges. should be worth your while :) | ||

Fixed Drum So I assume this machine utilized some sort of boot in the rear that will be impossible to at some point? It is a neat design, but without a good initial balancing system, it would remind be of a GE Filter-Flo on it's side whaling away at a plastic outer tub. I do however think it to be an interesting design. Sometimes I sort of miss my little Ariston W/D, it was a crude but neat little piece of European engineering.

An 11 kg 220 volt washer would be a great thing for the states, but I doubt we'll ever see one here. And we'd want it to be hot/cold fill, as well.
The Neptune 7500 sometimes can be a little fussy about spin balance. The only time it usually has a problem is with a full load of bath sheets. Generally if I casually fold each towel a couple of times before loading each one separately, they don't tangle enough to cause a spin balance problem. Just tossing them all in at once seems to be a recipe for trouble, though. Even then, the machine will usually spin, although perhaps not at full speed. At which point one can manually redistribute the load and go for a spin only cycle. The built in diagnostics will tell you if there was a spin balance problem on the last load, and the real-time display will tell you a lot about the current state of affairs: rpm, torque, balance, etc. The other loads that might cause spin balance issues are throw rugs of different types of fabrics. Like mixing heavy cotton with lightweight foam. The Miele 1918 never seems to have a spin balance issue, even at 1600 rpm, but mostly I only do small items with little potential for tangling in it. Maybe just for grins I'll toss in a load of bath sheets in it today, and see how it copes. | ||
