Fantastic Washer!

Let me start off saying this was an huge upgrade for me and my family ! Coming from an old Hotpoint washer and drier that was given to me by a friend, This is like an Mercedes Benz in my laundry room!
First let me tell you about the many many washing features, From a cold wash feature that uses jets that sprays detergent into my clothes to better penetrate the fibers and remove dirt and grime from my clothing. To a steam feature that sanitizes the clothing in the washer to remove dust and allergens. It even has an Anti-Vibration feature that allows EXTREMELY fast spin speeds to remove almost all the water from clothing or bedding ! (This works well with the LG drier to reduce drying time thus saving energy!!)
All the features work well but there is one quirk with the fabric softener. Its a feature on this washer? I don't understand why some cycles will not allow me to add steam and fabric softener or I can't use the ColdWash option and fabric softener. Its not that big of a deal but its a downer for a washer of this high caliber. Also larger loads will be tricky to place in the washer with out a UB error displaying on the washer but the washer will fill with water and drain out to try and move the clothing around so the washer won't be uneven, an even load will reduce the amount of vibration in the spin cycle. Sometimes this works and other times you will have to move the clothing your self.
This washer is an HE (High Efficiency) Washer so you have to use a special detergent (it says HE on the packaging) it will produce less suds so it will not damage your machine. The washer will use less water, and will not come with an agitator in the middle of the machine which is a good thing because you can put in large items without having to wrap it around the agitator. The machine spins and rocks to figure out how much clothing is in the washer and will apply the correct amount of water to suit the load! Its amazing technology, that all works will together to get your clothes super clean using the least amount of water and energy !
Overall I love my washer and I would defiantly recommend this model to anyone in the market for a top of the line washer with all the latest features in an attractive body.

LG has really outdone themselves !

I absolutely adore my new LG Drier I purchased from my local BestBuy! My old drier was very loud and never really got my clothes dry with out making them feel "baked and over dried". It pinched my clothing to the point that it left burn marks on my sheets and shirts, I felt like it was a fire risk. With a couple of visits to a couple of department stores, And some online shopping I found the LG Washer and Drier set. I felt like it was a lot of money to spend but you only make this purchase every decade? So I decided to spurge on the LG's.
First, Let me tell you that this Drier gets very HOT! Very FAST! Some times I forget to put in a drier sheet and when I go back 3 minutes later to put one in, The inside of the drier is extremely hot already!
It never takes an hour to dry anything anymore with this new drier. I feel like I am saving energy with the shorter drying time, Plus with the LARGE capacity of this drier I can wash a hole comforter and a set of sheets all at the same time.
The steam feature is really nifty and works very well in this drier! I can steam teddy bears, pillows, hats, you name it .. it can be steamed with ease with this drier!
The steam feature can be used to "Reduce Static" with a load of laundry. I tried it with a bunch of socks and underwear and to my surprise no socks where stuck to the underwear!
Also there is a "Easy Iron" Steam feature but i never used this setting because I do not like to iron my clothing.
Overall I believe there is more than enough cycles for my needs, I tend to stick to the cotton/normal cycle for most of my clothing.
One downfall is cold weather will make this drier display an error on the display, I called LG when it first happened. LG told me that is normal when trying to use the steam feature when it is cold outside. Its kind of dissapointing but living in the south I rarely see cold extremes where I live.
To sum it up, I really like my drier for the ease of use and the very large capacity and steam features. It performs very well and I believe my drier will serve my family for years to come!

What's great about it: Steam Feature, Easy Setup, Very Quiet, Large Capacity, Very Attractive Design
What's not so great: Steam Water Container is very small in size, You can't use the steam feature in very cold weather,
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazed By This Bose Speaker !
on October 24, 2013
Posted by: Almisha

Let me start off by saying this speaking does not disappoint in the sound department by no means!
This one speaker can easily fill a room with sound, For me at medium volume I can hear the speaker in every room in my house. Its so loud that I would NOT recommend playing it at full volume, It will hurt your hears badly and cause I am sure discomfort.
The base in songs sound different than any other speaker I have heard. Its a hollow bass that shakes my furniture in my home. Its sound resembles a flightier jet passing your home. Pretty cool if you where to ask me, The voices in songs really pop and are so clear and clean sounding. This speaker really shine with jazz, You can hear each instrument in the bands so distinctly. I could not be happier with the sound from the speaker.
Set up was pretty straight forward but for me my Apple Macbook Pro would not run the software. It more of my fault because I have not updated the laptop since 2007. -Be warned if you can not run the software on a computer, you will not be able to use the speaker. The software puts your Wireless internet connection settings on your speaker. If by any chance your WiFi password or WiFi name changes be prepared to reconnect the speaker to a computer to re-download the information over again. Sure its a hassle but its so nice to be able to change songs wirelessly from a phone or iPod.
The app for the speaker is so smooth and refined, You can tell Bose has spent some time creating the app and wanted an easy intuitive experience. It says on the Bose website they are adding more features by 2014, So far the only sources are Pandora and a list of internet radio stations from around the world. If you have Apple products you will be able to use AirPlay** to play any content wirelessly from your laptop or iDevice.
With all great products you have your negatives, This speaker was NOT made to be moved. Its really heavy, Reminds me of a cinder block when trying to move the speaker to a new location. You can tell its extremely well made, this thing is uber solid. Nothing inside of the speaker moves if shacked or picked up.
If you dont have a fast internet connection forget about connecting more than one speaker on your wifi connection. My one speaker takes most of my bandwidth on DSL. It still shudders in the afternoon when bandwidth goes down due to traffic in my neighborhood. I would like to test another speaker on my connection to see if it works together well with my internet and the wireless app.
Oh the last complaint If lets say your internet connection goes out dont expect to play music in your home. Unless you go into the back of the speaker and connect an AUX cable to your device. (the method you will have to use if you have an older ipod or older android product) Plus there is no bluetooth on this speaker, That would have been a key feature than would have made this a PERFECT speaker. But they left that to there mobile line of portable speakers, That would fix the internet situation that occurs when you have low bandwidth or no connection. They made the Soundtouch line of WiFi speakers because people were using there Soundlink Bluetooth speakers as there main home speakers but bose intended that for mobile applications, not for main home use.
To rap things up, This is an awesome speaker meant for a large room (or even whole house) filling sound that deliver top notch quality only to be expected from bose. There are a few set backs but nothing to stop me from recommending this speaker to family or friends.
Good Job Bose !

Can I used the Bose Sound Touch 30 as a Bluetooth enabled device with an I-Phone 5 ?

No bluetooth is available for the SoundTouch series of Bose Audio Systems. It uses Wi-Fi for connection (For Apple devices AirPlay) and for older devices it uses Auxiliary connections.
If you really want Bluetooth there is a much cheaper and portable option from Bose called the "Soundlink" Series. Ill post the equipment below in the product recommendations.

Can a Ipod Classic be connected to this Bose® SoundTouch™ 30 Wi-Fi® music system

is the Bose® SoundTouch™ 30 Wi-Fi® music system compatible with a ipod classic? What do I need to connect this ipod to this system? Do you have the connection cables?
You can connect it in the back of the unit using an AUX cable. Once you connect the iPod to the AUX input using the AUX cable, Press the AUX button on top of the Bose Speaker System and from your iPod should be able to choose the selection of music from your iPod to play through the music system.
