New LG washer and dryer (Dec 2009)

Our happy musical LG Electronics washer and dryer :) They've come a long way compared to our old white apartment ones.
What is it about new appliances that they like to sing happy music for you?

How come there's so much static when you use the dryer? Where does cotton pick up that electricity?

[sarahblam]

@tnguyen318 SCIENCE! static is typically produced by different fabrics tumbling together. If you are only washing cotton clothes, you probably won't have that much static. But if you have a few highly charged fabrics in your dryer, like wool and polyester, you'll have static generated.

How good it is on the drying mode? Does it dry evenly (i.e not leaving some items soggy and others bone dry)? How reliable has it been? Im thinking of getting a washer-dryer so your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

[sarahblam]

@Diamondblade2008 It seems to dry evenly and is reliable; we've had it for 2 years now and are very happy with it. I've never had a dryer that leaves some items dry and others soggy though... maybe if a duvet cover has twisted itself around a small cluster of towels...

Does the dyer lock during the cycle, or can you open it and it stops automaticly?

[sarahblam]

@iwatchfunny Ah oops - nope the dryer doesn't lock, you can just pull it open & it stops.

@bakasan39 they dont service them anymore (at least not here). If it breaks down, they just take back the broken one and drop a brand new one off.

i think tht this is a dumb vedow i think it could have been better

[cutemandy69]

Ok I honestly think these machines suck. If you watch carefully there is no water in the machine washing the clothes it's just rolling around in a little water and soap. I would never buy this machine. I'm at my uncles and I'm using his machine to wash clothes and I'm very disappointed. I love the old machines better at least they fill up with water. Just my honest opinion

[Diamondblade2008]

@sarahblam Thats great thanks. I've had my Hotpoint washing machine for nearly 4 years and (touch wood) it has never gone wrong. I'd love the convienience of a washer dryer though.

Yea, like they aren't all the same right? Gimme a break. None of them excell because its all the same people and same service companies coming to your house. Just buy the extended warranty and buy from a reputable dealer (such as Home Depot) and know that they will make you whole should something happen. Make the best buying decision initially is a good start. We just researched and bought a new LG front loader set (both steam) from HD with a 4-yr warranty for $179 total for both.
