centipead.... April 27th, 2011
Will take your laundry to space and beyond
Purchased the LG WT5001CW because of its load capacity, washing features and I really loathed my old Kenmore front loading machine (smell and several pump breakdown problems...tired of calling the repairman and taking apart my appliance on my Friday nights). With the LG, I've been very happy with most of the washing options. Unfortunately, there is no delicate cycle. I thought I could just use the "wool cycle" and use the "low spin" to get delicate wash results. WRONG. Apparently, this washer loves to spin, and spin at very high rpms! I have found little difference between extra high, high, med and low spin (even no spin will spin your clothes during the wash cycle. It only omits spinning at the very end).While my clothes are coming out very clean, I'm very worried about how long they will last. I'm very frightened to wash sweaters or anything that I really value and can't replace. It washes towels, tshirts, jeans great, but I have yet to try (or dare let it) spin my more valuable clothing items into outer space. I'm hoping this is a flaw to my machine and that a repairman might be able to adjust this. But how sad to have to call a repairman on a brand new machine. Unacceptable.
Great load capacity, water levels are great, soap dispensing and fabric softner dispenses as it should, hot water isn't really "hot" just warm, clothes are clean and almost dry when cycles are done, does wrinkle them a bit, fairly quiet (it's no mouse, our front loader was quieter but for a top loader, this machine is easier on the ears and noise level in the home than most), it's pretty to look at, has a charming beep/song when done.
