front load washer meme

[Anonymous No.1854358]

Should I spend 1k for a modern looking front load washer dryer combo or should I buy old style top loading washer dryer combo for 600?

[Anonymous No.1854364]

From what I know:

Top loaders work but waste resources, and have smaller capacity

Front loaders tend to be Korean and not made to the same quality; service is so-so. The consumer versions IMO do not wash as well as the commercial versions found in laundromats.

IMO, if you work in a dirty field (mechanic, construction) no question top loader.

If you work in an office and don't get crazy dirty, a front loader is fine.

Good brands: Maytag in the past, Whirlpools are so-so. Most guys like fixing direct drive top loaders made in Ripon, WI.

If you're going to get a front loader, most guys like Samsung. I personally can't get a good wash out of front loaders made in the last 10 years.

I'm a laundromat user and have no complaints. They use Huebsch, Dexter, and Speed Queens. 20 minute cycles, clean, and I can get my laundry done in roughly 30 minutes, hang em up in 10 and take em down in 10 to fold. I typically use American made front loaders unless it's real dirty, then it's top loaders. I would rather purchase a used commercial front loader instead of a luxury Miele or Fisher & Paykel.

IMO.
1. It should wash well
2. It should be reliable
3. It shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes a cycle. Ideally 20-25.
4. Size is not a concern
5. Other features, like electronics are just points of failure

Order from an appliance shop if you have one nearby. It's definitely a step up in terms of installation compared to a big box store, say a hardware store, Costco, or the like.

There's loads, I mean loads of appliance repair guys because top load washers are dead simple to repair.

^^ Good advice right here.

I have a front loader in my apartment, and I like it.

Pros:
Doesn't use a lot of soap or water, and it has room for big loads - sheets and blankets are no problem.

Cons:
Takes 60+ minutes on "normal" (not sure if that's normal or not, it's annoying)
Once you start a load you can't open the door (like if you missed a shirt you meant to wash, too bad)

But it seems to clean the clothes well enough.

To me, top load washing machines should last longer unless the front loader has a sealed end bearing coupled to the other end of the washing cylinder for stability and strangely enough non of them do so all the weight is on the motor shaft.

This sounds like it could be legit, if you've never seen a top load washer working. Put a magnet on the lid sensor of a top loader and actually watch it work. It's pathetic. Theoretically the agitator is supposed to sort of fold the clothes into each other so that eventually the clothes on top move to the bottom. Realistically this never happens. Half the time the clothes on top only get wet from the rinse cycle, they never actually get into the soapy water. Front loader washers are guaranteed to get soap over every piece of clothing, and as the clothes roll into each other they scrub them self clean. Top load washers are a meme. If you want actual clean clothes that are guaranteed get soapy water on them during the wash cycle, front loader is the only way to go. FRONT LOADER FTW

>front load if you want to buy replacement gaskets and parts every couple years
Depends on the brand. LG and Samsung last the longest, and the parts going bad or needing to be replaced depend upon the quality of the water supply you're giving them. I have some particulates in my well water that eventually clog the inlet valves, but front-loaders are really easy to service since the top just slides off and all the parts are right there for the picking. So $50 in parts every 7 years hasn't been a big deal. Though I could have easily avoided the need for that service by using a cartridge filter or two between the spigots and the inlets on the washer.

This is nonsense. The only time you'll need replacement gaskets is if you need to take the drum apart or remove pipes, and you rarely will. The bits that fail are the motor control or the cycle control unit which you can get at without destroying seals or gaskets.

It depends on how much you wash at a time. Usually the drying load is smaller than the washing load. That's okay if you wash a load where you take some out because it shouldn't be tumble dried thereby reducing the drying load. But who does that? My daughter has one, she regrets it, because you have to wait for the dryer to finish before you can put another load to wash.

[Anonymous No.1854847]

>>1854839

Hmm, so I guess you could counter this by buying a maximum capacity drum, then starting with a smaller load.

[Anonymous No.1854864]

>>1854847
You could, but it eats you up knowing that you should be able to put more clothes in there if it wasn't for the goddamned drying load limit. And there's two more piles of clothes waiting to go in and the next 3/4 load will have to wait four hours until the washer/dryer has finished with the first load. Not to mention that higher capacity washers tend to cost more, which is also a factor on choice of machine. Personally, I would only go that route if I had no choice. Separate washer and dryer are better than a combination. A combination machine is a compromise.

You were using too much soap, you only need half as much as the soap boxes suggest. And only use biological soap without bleaching agents. Also add the extra rinse to the cycle (if an available option) so it rinses them with clean water. If your stuff is heavily soiled you should be using the pre-wash as well.

[Anonymous No.1854936]

I have a front load LG. It seems to be fine but if you don't let the machine air out by leaving the door open, it will grow fingus and stuff around the gaskets. The problem for me is that I can't open it without leaving the laundry room door open, and if I leave that door open, it gets in the way. So I just have to deal with a moldy washing machine.

My parents had this issue a few months ago. In socal at least, there was a very limited selection of top loaders compared to front loaders. I don't know about modern top loaders, but the 15 year old top loader that we had was very loud compared to the new front loader that we now have.
The new front loader is very quiet, but it takes a long time to wash. It has a timer display, and depending on the load size, it can literally take 2 hours and then some to complete. The old washer would never take more than 1 hour, and that's just my estimation.

In part, the longer wash times are to allow more soaking during the cycle. Soaking is free washing, no motor, no heating. It all helps to get the A++ energy rating. You can have it fast and energy intensive, or you can have it in an energy responsible manner ... actually no, fuck that, you can't have it fast anymore, deal with it.

Bought these back in 2013. LG. The only maintenance it's needed is me switching out the power cable because the outlets in my new home were different. High efficiency, minimal power, water , and detergent use. Only gripe is that the same efficiency makes the dryer crap at drying. Find ourselves using antibacterial cycle for everything so it dries the first time which goes against the spirit of efficiency I suppose.
That other anon is correct, the type of detergent used makes a huge difference. We tried using Arm & Hammer to save on groceries, noticed less stain removal and clothes had an odd smell after washing. Went back to Gain as the savings were not worth it. Household of 5 , work at an office, can't comment on heavy duty applications.

(Continuing)
I use a commercial grade American front loader for most of my laundry. Don't get in my predicament, but my career landed me in the trenches, so my clothes more dirty than the rest. Except for mechanics who have to take home their grease stained workwear to wash.

The commercial American made front loaders have rather quick cycles, forgoing many of the energy saving techniques. I think that's the best answer IMO, of throughput in terms of washing most amounts of laundry in a quick amount of time.

That's the thing people don't consider, cycle time. There really isn't an advantage of high capacity HE machines if they're going to take twice as long to complete a cycle compared to 30 minute (traditional) top loaders.

Commercial made products tend to last more cycles over its lifecycle and American Commercial made products have parts you can readily purchase. The price reflects that; usually. If you purchase a machine for $700, with $200 to repair in the near future (4-5 years), it maybe worth spending $1100 for something built to withstand laundromat / commercial use.

I don't like the stain tests most consumer labs use. Sure they may have a tiny little card which have a variety of stains, but it doesn't really capture how real life is. When I have to wash my dirty clothes, I have to remove just about a 1 cup of ultra fine sand (feels like powdered sugar). And for that, I've opted for top loaders which flood my clothes in water. I think front loaders clean as well, but I would rather trust the option which involves more soaking ability.

Detergent is important. The only 2 worth using are Tide (which consistently ranks among the top, due to it's protein degradable enzymes) and Persil. Whites should always be bleached. I suppose you could make your own formulation of a cheaper over the market, mixed with tri- phosphates (they really do clean better), BIZ (protein stain removal), with bits of oxyclean. It will end up costing more than Tide. But w/e

Find a service manual before you buy it. It it will tell you how much you need to disassemble to do basic repairs.

I'm using the one that was in my house when I moved in: some upscale maytag front loader. It ends up doing to loads a day minimum, and washes really well. Problem is even the most basic "repair" like cleaning a trap or replacing a $35 consumable gasket requires disassembling the whole front. If you're me it takes about an hour, but I'm sure it takes the pros a quarter of that time.

It doesn't matter, the modern appliances market if full of bullshit anyway.

I recently bought a Samsung washer-dryer. Those fuckers had the balls to put a delay of around 1 minute for opening the door when you press pause (you press the button, wait 1 minute for no fucking reason, and then the door unlocks). And why did they do this you may ask? So you feel more included to buy their more expensive models which unlock the door instantly.
Also, these machines are known for having a serious problem with the metal frame that connects the drum to the shaft of the motor (the so called "support spider"). This thing is make of a very poor metal allow, is directly connected to the steel drum (a dissimilar metal), and they both get in contact with the soapy water, the perfect scenario for corrosion. This fucking spider literally disintegrates after a few years of normal use.

I've never had a front loader, but I used to have the old style top loader with the vigorous agitator, and perhaps it more aggressively cleaned the clothes. But then I made the mistake of buying the new type top loader with the tiny bump in the bottom. Especially with large items like sheets, one will just sit on top and get wet and hardly move around at all, so I can't believe front loaders are worse. Perhaps it's old style agitator > front loader > new micro agitator?

I have a front loader (AEG) and being from /sci/ I looked close at the waste water from each of the 4 cycles. And it is clear that even the last waste water is not something you want to drink. And you don't want to add more detergents, it is also obvious not all is flushed out from the clothes.
And having a little bit of allergy it is important to me that the clothes are absolutely clean and with no remaining detergents either.
So I started experimenting and found that one small cap of household ammonia in the water for the second cycle takes care of this. Waste water 2 is worse but then it gets much better than if I didn't add that tiny amount of ammonia.

I suspect the people who have problems with laundry not getting clean are ones who put tons of shit in their machine, don't properly select a cycle, don't pretreat, and never clean the drain boot.

HE front loaders in general are best at cleaning and easiest on clothes but they do have their flaws with the mold/seals/complex circuitry. I had a Maytag Neptune hand me down set from the parents when bought a house to remodel with no washer/dryer. It probably washed 10,000 loads and my dad and I replaced the bearings/belt in the dryer many times, but parts were cheap and repairs easy. However, the stupid things had a critical flaw and both blew out their circuit boards during a brown out and I couldn't find replacements(Couldn't repair the boards either). Meanwhile the stupid simple old school top loader/dryer the girlfriend has from has from 2001 has two capacitors, three relays, and a mechanical timer. I spent $7 on to repair the agitator racket cogs when she said it wasn't cleaning right. Tools need - 3/8, 1/4 socket and flathead screwdriver.

Personally, if you are going to live somewhere short term buy the Korean made stuff with a 5 year warranty for that suburbanite wow factor to sell the place. But if you want long term and ease of repair, buy an old school American top loader/front loader dryer set from Facebook marketplace for $40.

Miele is absolutely the best. She probably doesn't need to replace em, a tech could probably fix em and would only charge her $100.

I recently bought their top of the line washer and dryer, and they're fucking phenomenal.
The washer is super light on water (my water bill was notably lower) and has this gilette-style system where you can buy detergent tanks from Miele, place them in a special hold in the bottom of the machine, and never have to fuck with soap again (until it runs out). The dual-fill means if you have a hot water heater good enough or a tankless or whatever, you can shave time off the cycle by preheating.
The dryer is a heatpump dryer, meaning no vent. I plumbed my drain into the washer drain, but you don't have to. The lint traps actually catch lint, and you really never need to clean the heat exchanger.

Only niggles I've had are that the washer and dryer are a bit small, but they get clothes cleaner so I guess thats a trade off. Additionally, if you wanna use steam on the dryer you gotta either not use the drain hose, or fill the water tank with distilled water periodically. Other than that, no complaints

It constantly throws error codes. The washer has been through 3 controller boards so far. The repair would have been $400 bucks a pop. Whoever thought it would be a fantastic idea to cram a bunch of electronics into a metal box that jiggles like a motherfucker, sometimes hours on end, should be fucking shot. The steam mechanism in the dryer constantly clogs. Despite being the pinnacle of dryer technology, it doesn't seem to dry worth a fuck compared to our old as fuck dryer it replaced.
Maybe a better brand like Miele or Electrolux might not have these issues...or maybe you just end up with a slightly nicer piece of shit with more expensive repairs.

They call it a pulsator and it seems popular with asian manufacturers. My panasonic toploader can effectively flip the load top to bottom, but there's still the issue of bigger items floating.

I have a top loader and I 3D printed an adapter for the drainage line to adapt to a garden hose. My laundry gray water feeds my pumpkin patch. Waste water is now free fertilizer. Soap doesn't seem to harm anything, at least not yet.

Not sure. I don't know what the benefit would be of multiple 480V or 575V washing machines would be. I imagine they'd all have independent VFDs and the cost of running them would outweigh any profits from the laundromat. But again, I'm not sure.

>Those fuckers had the balls to put a delay of around 1 minute for opening the door when you press pause (you press the button, wait 1 minute for no fucking reason, and then the door unlocks)
That's a safety feature due to morons opening the door, ramming their hand in to get the clothes out and getting their arms twisted off by the drum that is still rotating with the weight of the wet clothes. Before you say that the drum has stopped way before the minute ends, you're right, but it's to make absolutely doubly sure that they don't get sued by impatient retards again.

Top loaders have a poorer washing effect due to the clothes just being pushed back and forth as opposed to being tossed around more energetically in a front loader.

Front loaders smell like mold and sometimes the clothes will fall out when you open them. Top loaders are superior.

[Anonymous No.1866583]

High efficiency FL washers suck. They just spit water on the clothes. Get a trad washer with a tub that fills with water.

That's because this "feature" is the cheapest way to achieve said "Don't sue us" function. The more expensive machines do away with having to wait by using a braking system that stops the drum almost instantly. The extra R&D and manufacturing is partly why the more expensive machines are more expensive, there is also the "You don't have to wait" surcharge.

We got some real thinkers here, lol.
