LG High-Efficiency Washer: Toss clothes in the wash, select 1 of 8 cycles and 5 temperature settings via touch-screen controls and make fast work of laundry. Use the delicates cycle to wash sensitive items and the quick-wash cycle when you're short on time.
We replaced our 15 year old Fisher-Paykel with the LG because the F-P was not easily available and the LG had great ratings. I would recommend the LG but with conditions. It may be the HE mentality but we must use the extra water feature to actually properly wet the clothes. Also, the HE is not for washing speed but only for less water and detergent usage. It is very large and holds lots of clothes but takes much, much longer than the F-P 50 minutes to wash. The spin cycle alone is normally over 30 minutes. It is rather complicated to use with many new rules and considerations. It makes clothes washing more of a training mission rather than just throwing them in and getting it done. The clothes do come out clean and it is far more quiet than than the previous model. It does appear to be a very sturdy model and we anticipate a long life in our home. I think the LG is a good model and will last us a long time but must confess that we miss our F-P.
LG Electric Dryer: Enjoy easy program setting and quiet operation with this dryer, which features an LED touch-screen control panel and sound-reduction technology. Choose between 8 cycles, including a delicates cycle, to suit your laundry load.
We had a Fisher-Paykel for 15 years. We decided to replace it with the LG due to the great reviews and the lack of availability of the F-P appliance. The LG dries the clothes with a few caveats. Larger loads are not auto-sensed well so we do have to change the settings accordingly. There is not a good refresh to de-wrinkle the clothes. the clothes are not as wrinkle free as before. It does appear to be very sturdy and will last us a long time bringing a good return on our investment. And it is very quiet.
