 Mike, glad you didn't add any more towels once the load was all wetted down. That's not supposed to be done. Once it's loaded full, leave well enough alone. Yes, I don't like pancake washers either, I"ll take a front loader. And with our drought eneering its second year, I"m becoming more and more aware of water usage. | ||

@Steve I love the styling of the Kenmore badged LG front loaders...love the square door. Steve have you been back your buddy's LG laundry room? Do you still have your GE filter flo? I had that exact same 1991 model as you did. Mike | ||

Pancake washer Bud, what I am attempting to convey is people look at those large HE top loaders and fill them to the brim with laundry. Some cycles add more water than others for the same type of load. It simply boggles my mind to try to imagine a huge amount of laundry being compacted all on top of itself in a V-axis washer and all they are doing is being swished back & forth with that impeller with not much water. Far more weight on top of the clothes than simply tumbling in a front loader. I think it would result in more fabric wear over the long haul. I perceive it as stacks of pancakes being washed. | ||

My sister has had three washers since she got her first apartment. In fall 1989, I bought her a used 1980-built Kenmore belt-drive, which she used until 2000. I have that washer now in my laundry room. Her next machine was a 2000 direct-drive Kenmore, which she must have been hard on because I had to replace the coupler in 2006 or 2007, and there were porcelain chips all over the basket.
In 2008 my brother-in-law researched machines and ordered a top of the line, brand new then LG steam washer/dryer pair. My sister's answer most recently when I asked if she liked the washer "Well, I want to like it!" Her issues involve it taking way too long (like an hour and an half to wash a load as was mentioned above), it being fickle to balance in spin, AND the horrible racket that it creates throughout the house from the second-floor laundry room. Their laundry room is above the kitchen. If the machine is somewhat out of balance, it will rattle the sophet in the kitchen below, and this is after the machine futzes around for 10 minutes trying to balance itself before it even tries to spin. I'm thinking that before too long I'm going to have a new Speed Queen top loader. If I hear any more complaints about the LG from her, I'm going to show her the SQ, and let her borrow it/try it out if she's willing. If she likes it, I suspect we'll have another Speed Queen convert amongst us. Gordon | ||

 I have the G.E. Harmony washer(which I think is made by L.G.) and it washes the hell out of clothes if you want it to.I just throw the clothes in and pick one of thousands of options and let it do it's thing.It fills up just enough to wet the clothes and a little extra then it will do this odd spin and all the water is pulled through the clothes then it stops and the plate on the bottom spins back and forth or the basket spins back and forth.It does all three of those things while it washes and I have never had any problems with it at all.The normal wash time is 50 mins but you can make it wash up to 14 or so hours if you chose the right program options.The one I have is a P.C. with a washer attached to it basically. I have had it for years and still have not used all the cycles there are thousands of them. | ||
