Ranking the Best Front Load Washers: What You Should Know

[@christopherjohnson9001]

Love this format as it’s quick and informative. No need to spend more time overproducing this content as the highlights are what’s important. Well done 👍

[@scooterdooter]

The presentation was poorly organized and difficult to follow. The presenters spoke too quickly and did not provide clear explanations of the products. This made it difficult to determine which product was the best. I would appreciate it if the presenters would slow down and speak more clearly, and if they would provide a more concise summary of their findings.

Getting service for any Electrlux appliance has been a problem down here(south Georgia). Service for LG is readily available, so its a no brainer. I don't how service is with GE.

I have an LG 4000 washing machine myself in the white color my favorite features of that is the pre-wash cycle and Turbo wash

[@daniels7862]

We have the Samsung 9900 and it is pretty awesome. We use the small top washer a lot, and we have both running at the same time frequently. Before this one we had an Electrolux wave touch washer purchased in 2013, had it for 10 years. It was fairly reliable, besides a few repairs I did myself we liked it, was beautiful, but was terrible at rinsing clothes. We always ran the 15 min fast wash at the end of the cycle as just a rinse because an actual rinse cycle used hardly any water. The Samsung uses a shocking amount in comparison which I’m very happy about. The app feature is so useful in letting me know when a cycle is complete or if someone else in the house is washing something. Cant tell you how many times I’m ready with my clothes and the washer has already been taken. The only thing we don’t like but knew before we purchased was that the main washer is very low to the ground, even with a riser. With a standard washer you can use a pedestal and get great height. If you used one on this washer the top would be so high you wouldn’t be able to reach the smaller washer. Time will tell how reliable this one is going to be, although I purchased it with the expectation that it will be more prone to issues and may not last as long as Electrolux. If the Electrolux had done better at rinsing I probably would have had the motivation to replace the failing bearings. I did take a look and the new Electrolux units and they just don’t seem innovative enough compared to the competition even if they did fix the rinsing issue. Plus they removed features that I loved on our old one, like being able to turn on the drum light while it’s washing.

A question for you fellows. OK. Some machines you fill the dispenser with a bunch of detergent and the machine decides how much to dispense. My question : does it dispense what is needed to do the job (the now famous "two tablespoons is enough") or does it dump in the big amount the detergent companies specify, thus making the clothing gummy and the machine mechanism all gunked up? Thanks very much. LOVE your reviews.

[@YaleAppliance1]

It dispenses the proper amount...The new Profile will now dispense based on the detergent brand...

I work at a appliance repair shop. We do in home repairs. We do not work on LG's, Samsung, Bosch or Beko. ***Warning to all***.....before you buy any major appliance call your local repair shop(s) and ask them what brands they do and don't repair. Our shop does NOT do warranty work. We have warranty companies calling us from MULTIPLE other states. They are so very desperate to find a repair shop, any repair shop to do warranty work they beg us to go to other states to do work! Do NOT take out any type of extended warranty unless your local repair shop does warranty work. Remember...the more bells and whistles any appliance has the more things can & will go wrong. Use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) system when purchasing all major appliances. The more electronics, the more options, the more money your local repair shop is going to make.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Smart....We have to do warranty work for our customers.

I'm torn between GE GFW850 $850 or LG WM6700 $850. Nevermine what features I'm interested in but what would you choose?

[@YaleAppliance1]

depends on what you value...LG for reliability/GE for Microban, bigger dispenser and features

[@robertmedina3195]

@@YaleAppliance1 it really makes little sense why LG is rated at S tier, considering the stink due to the lack of the anti microban and if you read reviews....LG isn't a very reliable at all and getting service is near impossible. Even you guys have said that...while GE has a good service dept.

[@happymom9255]

@@robertmedina3195stink is usually because you aren’t cleaning the washer as suggested (clean cycle, filter, leaving door ajar)

[@johntaylorjr4344]

I know that they can be impractical for a lot of people, but I miss the front loaders (Speed Queen, Maytag, LG, Amana) with the top rear controls like a top loader. If you have the room for them, why not? They just looked good. I liked that style. 😊

[@justinsnow3979]

I’m comparing between the Electrolux 7637at for 899 now. Also the ge 655 for 850 you looked at here?

[@tommavrakos]

Newer lg dryer. Bearings went on drum

[@ShwetankYa]

A lot of just reading off features. The first electrolux is found to have best cleaning/stain removal ability according to a few tests with a good overhead jet of water into the drum. The LG 6700 (and often others) was found to be less gentle than average on clothes, negating one of the advantages of front loaders over top loaders...

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

But LG still isn’t rough on clothes per se, it’s just roughER than the Electrolux. Also Lg is more reliable and more service friendly

[@YaleAppliance1]

Well, its a lot more reliable without question. I dont know what info that says Electrolux is gentler on the clothes. Would love to see that documentation

[@oopszie]

I have the Electrolux 627 and it’s harder on clothes than a comparable lg or ge. It also has needed three major services in five years. glad I got a free five year extended warranty through the retailer.

[@tektight]

Should include customer service reliability when comparing these. Samsung while a good machine(up until it fails) their CS is the worst which would lower the tier it's in.

[@YaleAppliance1]

No question

[@mannycamacho3892]

Curious if you guys discuss the Cafe line? Although I'm considering Miele after the crazy DIY repairs I had to undergo on our Samsung. I'm not sure I want to buy those again. I have the second model you showcased.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Yes, we sell Cafe,....Good looking

[@arevee9429]

Having to buy that Twindos detergent for auto-dispensing is a big negative. When I had Mieles about 3 or 4 years ago, it was hard to get the Twindos cartridges and they were too costly. And those pods? Fuggedaboudit!

We have e trouble w grit & sand, & handling all the dog bed washing I do for the Great Dane and Doberman. I wash about 2 large dog beds 2 x / wk (since multiple raised dog beds in different rooms & we live on the Columbia River & have sand & fine dirt near patio. We have a 15 & 10 yr old & busy outdoor atheletic types always doing sports outdoors including using technical Goretex ski & rain gear Id like to take good care of. Our LG front load and s now leaking out the bottom and only 5 to 7 yrs old. I try to care for our appliances and do the chemical and sanitation cleaning and hand clean the silicon seams etc. But it looks like the rubber tube that you would normally bleed out for maintenance has clogged about 2 inches up w packed fine particles that I’m unable to dislodge but when I take a then metal pumpkin carving knife up there I’m seeing (and feeling) the gritty sand & fine ash type particulate and the get out here in our loamy soil. If like to get something that can handle our needs better and also be less maintenance but be gentle on the items I need it to be and also handle the dog beds and short dog hair on a regular basis. FYI I do Almost always shake out the beds before I put them in but it still can accumulate thus I do the chemical and hand cleans at least quarterly if not more (I’m willing to do more also if it is required). We are designing our future house here and I really appreciate all your very helpful videos! Thank you so much!

[@rafflesmaos]

Some say that the GE 2 in 1 is going to be less reliable due to needing to constantly clean the filter. But is that not the case for any heat pump dryer as well? I do wish it wasn't made in China though... maybe there will be more 2 in 1s later including those made in other countries...

[@YaleAppliance1]

Could be.....I thought it was made in the US.

[@richardmartin1551]

I’m struggling to find these LG models in the UK. Are these only available in the U.S?

[@YaleAppliance1]

I think so

[@marks9233]

Wish you included reliability as a greater factor in your evaluation. More important than most features to me. Guess I'm a Speed Queen top loader guy? Idk. I like front loads but not for $2100

[@CoolGuyStephen]

Would love to see a top-loader version of this video!

[@YaleAppliance1]

and you shall

[@nocomment9603]

So the first machine to get an S you don't actually show it, you just say it's the 6700 and assume we go "ah yes". What's the difference between it and the A tier one?

[@poolahpot]

Oh just want one like the old days…..to last 15-20 years and add lots of water

[@themikeroberts]

I don't care to use a lot of water - as HE front loaders clean better - but the short life of modern washing machines is so disappointing and has to negate any financial and environmental savings from the high efficiency factor

[@dalefrolander3583]

If you want it to last, get a Speed Queen. That's what many laundromats use.

[@waynr]

I don't want "smart" anything on my washer. I want to be able to control basic settings appropriate to the type of device it is from the front panel. Why should I pay the price for some idiots at GE or wherever to make some app I won't bother installing because all it does is bloat my life with yet another shitty app?

[@dalefrolander3583]

Speed Queen, solid machine without all the fluff nobody wants. Do I really need my washer to sing me a song when it's done.

[@JDCrae]

Looking at a LG front load washer to replace our top loader speed queen. While we love our SQ we would like larger capacity, front loading but definitely want reliability. No many independent places near us though so it looks like we would have to deal with a big box store. The comments I hear about LG and our currently under performing LG fridge that's only two years old makes me nervous.

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

Lg front load washers are the best in the game. Their fridges suck tho

[@cylonred8902]

We got the GE but one notch down - we lost the dispenser but I don't care and the wife wanted the blue color. So far - really happy though the the washer seems to not like to connect to the app. I will call about that soon as the washer/dryer were relocated to the basement. No smells - even though I know my son is NOT using the vent system (too much for him to remember) with the door closed.

[@donarmstrong4166]

They must make a ton of money on repair... Speed Queen is a commercial grade washer and dryer that will last 25 yrs...without repair. Don't believe anything these people say....

[@YaleAppliance1]

We lose about 2 million on repair annually...If it was that profitable, then how come nobody does it. SQ is a good choice, but not the best...sorry if other peoples marketing without service gets in the way of reality

[@robhudson5498]

Speed queen hahahah if you have tons of money then go for it I have had an lg for 15 years and no problems so I'm good keeping money In My pocket. Hahahahaha 😂😂

These guys he doesn't separate his clothes and he is giving suggestions? The GE washer dryer combo is like double the cost double the time. That means it sucks.plus it's a china company with ge name.

I was being facetious. Most of Haiers manufacturing is US based.

[@realJimmy_Balls]

steam and wifi features are the bs features you actually dont need. According to the consumer report, steaming takes 600% more electricity and doesnt clean any better than normal wash with detergent. Make with this information what you will.

[@mrslkungpowchikn1206]

Wouldn’t steam shrink stuff more? What would u need steam cleaning for in the machine is what I want to know. I already demand a lot more water than the machine will give means thus it never washes all that well when u have big dogs in small house and kids w filthy socks all the time!
