Archive for the ‘Best Spin Washer’ Category

There are a number of manufacturers currently making front loading washing machines, and Whirlpool, LG, and Kenmore spring immediately to mind. The WM0642HW from LG is a 1200 spin washing machine that gets all my clothes looking like new. At $900 it isn’t the cheapest washing machine on the market, it is though in my opinion one of the best.

I decided to go for a front loader to make the best use of the limited space I had available. The front loader allows me to have a work top running over it, unlike with my old Kenmore top loader. I had to do a lot of research online and in some stores before I ended up with the LG, and compared a number of the other 1200 spin washing machines on the market for instance the Whirlpool WFW9400S. It ended up being a close call between the two, although the LG edged it on price.

I love the display on this 1200 spin washing machine. There are seven washing programs available, including cotton, delicates and hand wash, which means that whatever load I put in, I know it is going to be cleaned to a very high standard. Read the instruction manual though if your results are not what you expect, it specifically asks for HE Detergent.

There are also six speeds that take this machine from a 400 to a 1200 spin washing machine. Although my personal favorite aspect of this LG machine is the time remaining display, which saves me hanging around every time I think it is going to finish the wash. The three dispensers; Fabric Softener, Bleach and Pre-Wash make me confident that there is going to be an even dispense of liquid.

Be prepared to see your electric and water bills reduced, the machine is the most efficient I have ever had. On the water line though, it is important that you have your pipes aligned properly to let the water drain away. I have heard horror stories about water not draining away properly leaving a nasty smell behind. Personally though, I have never had this problem.

It is also extremely quiet although it did take me a few attempts to get the feet level to remove any vibration issues when it was on full spin. I have had a few issues before with my old Kenmore 110.

Now I have been happy with the Kenmore top loaders I have had before, but always found that I could never do as much washing as I wanted in one load. The LG WM0642HW eliminates this issue and the drum has a capacity of 3.83 cu/ft that suits my needs perfectly, and will even comfortably take my bed sheets and towels in one load. As a 1200 spin washing machine the LG can cope with heavy loads as well as my lighter ones.

I would though make sure that there are authorized people in your area just in case anything goes wrong. I have heard of people having warranties but with no one within 200 miles able to service their machine. Also take care with the porcelain top, it can be damaged from spilt detergent.
