Holy freaking cow: The new TOL washer at LG's site boasts a 5.1 cu. ft. drum. It has their Turbo Wash system with twin recirculating jets, a real steam generator and the other usual bells/whistles. Price tag is $1399 for white.
The matching dryer sports a 9.0 cu. ft. drum. NINE. Price tag same as washer. My question: Does the washer have a suspension system capable of handling/spinning the huge loads this machine will hold--or is LG expanding the exciting AutoExplodeŽ feature to their front-loading line?

5.1 cu. ft. Load capacity is only 8 lbs.? There is no information that says otherwise... | ||

I'm confused 8 lbs. are not even 4 kg... There's something wrong... | ||

12 kg? That is not bigger than actual Hotpoint Ariston machines. Why don't they give information on the capacity in kg or lbs.? What the heck can one do with cubic feet? | ||

cubic feet That's just how machines are rated here. It keeps them from saying that one model can hold, let's say 11kg while another model boasting the exam same drum can hold 12kg.
It's helped a bit in terms of manufacturers lying about what their machines can hold, but then they were caught lying about the cubic foot capacities as well... They've been reined in again so everything is accurate now.
Another reason behind it is the density of our loads. A load of sheets will weigh different than the same size load of jeans. However, they will be the same size, which is why we rate the washers and dryers based on their size now. | ||

Wow.. what an awesome cycle selection... I wonder how the water usage changes depending on the cycle that is used. ie. Does the "Jumbo Wash" cycle use considerably more water than the "Cotton/Normal" cycle? | ||

New LG FL It holds the same size load as the Speed Queen Triple Loaders. Compare the load size to SQs in a laundromat. It all adds up to the same size, a mid-sized mega-load. Compare it to the Milnor Visionex. CLICK HERE TO GO TO camMURRAY22's LINK | ||

I thought triple loaders had a 6.1 cu.ft drum capacity? Could be wrong... I would wonder why, when you see a commercial machine with a very similar sized drum, they're so much larger than this? There's something missing here..... | ||
