LG Steam Washer Info

Do you suddenly find yourself on the market for a new washing machine after using the same washer for 10 or more years? If so, and you're like most people in that you haven't been following the recent developments in washer technology over the past few years, you were likely a bit surprised to see how far washing machines have evolved since you made your last purchase. Firstly, the majority of washer models on sale today are front load washers, not the traditional top loading types. There are a number of reasons for this shift, but the most notable of which are that front load washers are more efficient than the old style top loaders in terms of water usage and electricity. Also, because front load washers tumble the clothes through the soapy water, instead of using a harsh back and forth motion, they're a little gentler on the clothes as well.

The more modern washing machines also almost surely have more features and options than a decade or more old top loader. One such feature is the ability to use an internal heater to boil water to inject steam into the washing tub to assist in cleaning the clothes as well as to reduce the likelihood of wrinkling. There are a number of front load washers that feature the steam cycles. For instance, LG Electronics offers 3 different models of different sizes and varying features that all have steam abilities. The cheapest and most popular of these is the LG WM2501HWA review. With a price point at about that of some models made by other manufacturers that don't have the steam abilities this is a very popular front load washer these days. The next step up in price and features is the LG WM2801HWA review. It has a slightly larger capacity, and is slightly newer than the WM2501HWA, but otherwise more or less the same. The largest, newest, and most fully featured front load steam washer that LG offers is the WM3885HWCA.

Then again, maybe you can't think of when you'd use the steam features, and don't want to spend all that extra money for something that you're unlikely to ever use. This is an understandable position to take. If this is you, then perhaps look to one of the newest models that LG makes, the WM2140CW. It is their entry level front loader, with the lowest price, but still offering all the efficiencies of front loaders, and many features as well.

Whether you decide to buy a front load washer with or without the steam settings, or an older style top loading washer, its always best to do as much research as possible. Make sure to read front load washer reviews on as many models you might be shopping for before you make a decision and spend your hard earned money.

LG WM2010CW Review

LG Electronics might not be the first name that pops into the minds of many Americans when it comes to thinking about buying a new washing machine. However, with prices under $600 quite easy to find for this front load washer, LG is proving that they perhaps should be on the short list of any consumer looking to purchase a new washer or dryer. In addition to being one of the least expensive front load washers on the market, it is also one of the most feature laden in its price range. Though not quite as popular as the LG WM2016CW front load washer the WM2010CW seems to be a popular choice for many consumers.

Featuring a 3.5 cubic foot capacity for large loads with various choices for wash, spin, and water temperature the LG WM2010CW can provide all the cleaning needs to satisfy a typical family. With a 4 compartment dispenser which can add bleach, softener, detergent and pre-wash automatically at the right times this front load washer can take some of the work out of laundry day. Also, to remove the guess work there is an end of cycle tone with adjustable volume control. In addition it features a delay setting allowing a timer to be set so the machine will run when most convenient, even if that isn't the most convenient time to load it. With a sturdy stainless steel washer tub for durability this washer is built to last. Not only that, with the SenseClean washing system monitoring the load size and weight to automatically adjust the water level based on sensors input the LG WM2010CW is also built with efficiency in mind. This among other features have earned it an energy star certification. Not only that, it has been designed specifically for quiet operation. Also, it has been designed to be stack-able, meaning a can dryer can be put on top of the washer to save space in the laundry room. LG backs this all up with a full warranty for 1 year, 2 years on the control unit, 7 years on the motor, and lifetime on washing tub.

One thing that really jumps out about the LG WM2010CW is that LG has really paid attention to quality control when manufacturing this front load washer. The quality is evident immediately. As with all front load washers there is some small amount of regular maintenance required to keep this machine free of mold and smelling good between loads.

Overall, this LG WM2010CW front load washer should be strongly considered by anyone in the market for a new front loading washing machine on a bit of a bidget. With prices low enough to make it competitive with top loading washers, and and possessing all of the benefits of front load washers, the cost savings of operation could potentially make up for any additional up front cost over the life of this high quality, full featured, but inexpensive front load washer.
