Hi all I have now had my LG 11KG washing machine since oct 2014 and im completely happy with it.
It washes far better than my ultima ever could thanks to its nice water level on Mix cycle and the jet on the right side. Its Direct Drive Motor is so quiet we can run it through the night as it barely makes a sound, its only louder from my laptop webcam mic.
The drum rim at the bottom is not connected to the rubber seal which makes it virtually muck free and easy to wipe clean. And its 11kg drum is so big we can now do all our bedding in one not one per load as we did in the Old Hotpoint.
Ive Posted a video of the machine in action on the main wash After using Tubclean to give my work uniform a deep clean on Darks Cycle.
