LG is a really good brand for washing machine , they are long lasting. We have a top loader with direct drive for the past 6 years. My grandparents who live in Hyderabad have a 10+ year old lg front loader with direct drive..
@@karthikeyans8922 thanks. Ariel is the best for this washing machine. You can decide to use either powder detergent or liquid, both work well. I use liquid detergent mainly for delicate clothing like silk, wool etc.
Hi, if you mean if the washing machine has a dryer, then no it does not have one. It is just a washing machine without a dryer. If the option was there, I would have mentioned it in the video. Thanks.
Steam is effective in clothes which need to be disinfected. Ideally only cotton fabric is recommended for steam. In this machine it is there only in one program - Baby care. Thanks.

Hi maam,do you hanwash or machinewash your indian wear?if machine wash ,how do you wash indian kurtas,kurtis,salwars in washing machine.plz let me know in which settings you run your machine and which machine detergent do you use for indian wear?does machine washing indian wear decrease the life and appeareance of Indian clothes?
Yes of course you can use powder detergent for the front load washing machine. I have been using it for as long as I have been having and using a front load machine, i.e. 24 years. Thanks.
Hi Jyothi, mere experience se, LG washing machine bahut durable hai aur unka service bhi achi hai. IFB brand popular hai phir nhi unke service ke baare mein bahut shikatein hain. Aap apne zaroorat(7 kgs or usse bada) aur apne budget ke hisab se decide kijiye. Niche meine buying link share ki hai: amzn.to/47TkUIw Thank you.
Most front load washing machines require a minimum water pressure of 0.3 kg/sqcm or 0.5 kg/sqcm. This means the overhead tank from which the water is supplied has to be at a minimum height of 3 metres or 5 metres above the machine. Thanks.
Yes. This is what I have been following for the past 24 years of using Front Load washing machine, whenever I load heavy items like quilts, large bedsheets etc. and have found it effective.
@@BhuvanaAdi it makes sense but don't you find the items move around during the wash. Earlier I used to spread bedsheets in the drum only to find they became one big lump which then can cause an imbalance. Then I started balling each sheet separately so they would not congeal together and it's a little better. Either way seems to work and I get imbalances from time to time. Not figured out a sureshot way to avoid imbalance as yet. Avoiding or reducing imbalances is a sure way to reduce wear and tear on the machine. I was intrigued with your idea of spinning the drum before closing the door. Never seen anyone do that before 😊
@johndoe-vc1we yes, one big lump happens only if you combine big sheets with very small items like pillow, cushion covers etc. When I have to put just one large bedsheet or a quilt, I use this technique of loading in the centre. Rotating before closing the door ensures whether the load is balanced. Of course, in spite of my methodical approach of loading, I do face some imbalance sometimes, in some cycles, while spinning.
@@BhuvanaAdi _Rotating before closing the door ensures whether the load is balanced_ This is a skill I've yet to learn. You're the only person on the internet that has this insight.
I had not seen your other replies which you continued in the same thread. Thanks for your appreciation and kind words. For me each day is a learning experience. I try to apply science coupled with my own. logic and common sense. And mostly things have been working fine with most of my appliances and gadgets in my house. And this has helped them work for many years. Actually, I have an idea of making a video on how to make appliances last long. Thanks once again.
My only quibble is this is a small capacity machine. For a newly wed they should have chosen a larger capacity. Depth of 46 cm means smaller volume drum. A depth of 56 cm would be preferable. Bigger is always better. It means fewer washes which means less wear & tear and ultimately longer service life
Thanks for your suggestion. It was a decision based on their requirement and budget. For 2 persons, 7 kg machine is more than sufficient, in spite of the depth. We have been using a 6.5 kg LG washing machine for 15+ years now. All these years we have been washing a full clothes load of 4-5 persons every day, running up to 10 cycles on an average per week. The washing machine is still going strong.
@@BhuvanaAdi the rated weight is a moving target and not meaningful. What I'm getting it is the drum volume which is not mentioned anywhere. If you take a measuring tape, I think you will find the volume of your older machine to be larger than the one you have chosen for your son. The external depth of your older machine must be close to 60 cm. Whereas here it's smaller.
@@BhuvanaAdi something I've noticed with higher end LG's. They have the shorter depth of 46 cm but the drum is actually larger. So volume wise it matches a machine with depth 55 cm. LG has different tiers. z2/z4/z5/z7/z9 in the model number. The z7 & z9 are the ones I'm referring to. Downside is they come with tinted doors which is unacceptable to me and only in dark grey so no white option. In India at least.
Ma'am every time despite loading properly my Bosch washer bangs slightly during spin start and spin end. Could you please show a demo on how to avoid unbalanced loads?
@@BhuvanaAdi and just curious. What made you choose LG direct drive? Belt drive is proven reliability. Direct drive I am hearing a lot of mixed opinions. Is direct drive of LG as reliable as a Bosch belt drive with inverter motor?
Actually my son purchased it. He was going for a small capacity machine (around 6 kg) and budget was the main consideration. He got LG at the best price on models of this size. And it turned out to be a sleek one. I think LG makes only direct drive machines now. Bosch belt drive sure must be good but they were at a higher price. As far as LG direct drive is concerned, it comes with a 10 year warranty.
@@BhuvanaAdi oh okay. Yes, if budget is one of the criteria, LG is a better pick. Bosch lower end models don't come with a lot of features. Not even pre wash. Korean brands always offer a good bang for your bucks. Based on some reviews, I see LG direct drive has a good reliability rating. May be as far as the negative reviews are concerned, the users must have handled it badly (overloading, not leveling the floor). One suggestion Bhuvana ma'am - pls ensure that the balcony is rain/direct sun light proof. These appliances have metal body. Exposing them to dampness and harsh conditions may damage them externally and these are not covered under warranty
It's quite simple. Let's say it is 8:30pm and you would like the wash to finish by 6:30am. You select the program and settings you want and for time delay choose 10:00 or ten hours. You can't choose half hour intervals only hourly.
TIme delay is a delay? That is if you choose time delay. So that many hours you choose it will start after that many hours. This is very useful if you get water supply for fixed hours like in some places in India they get water early in the morning. Even though everyone has the facility for the tank to get filled automatically Washing during that time or before that time so the water is used and you have a full tank of water.
Hi, do you wash your clothes on high temperature cycles? You have to choose the program and temperature based on the fabric. Some fabrics tend to fade if washed above 40 ⁰C. Please follow the wash instructions given in the fabrics before washing them. Please watch the below video in which I have explained about sorting clothes and how to select programs based on the sorted clothes. I'm sure you will find the video helpful.: ruclips.net/video/Kwkt0L99m0s/видео.html Also watch the videos in this playlist: LG 10485 Washing Machine Demo Series: ruclips.net/p/PLvZ681nV6tYq5dPk1qNlVfAOEsKLaywcU The below are a few videos of my friend's Bosch washing machine, where I have explained various features.

@@Khan456Khan-g3z Please check the garment for wash care instructions. If it is colour fading garment, then it will fade. Which detergent are you using? Please use good quality branded detergent like Ariel, Surf Excel, etc. Do not use ordinary detergent. They could also be the cause for colour fading. When you use a good branded detergent you can use very little quantity. That will give good cleaning. Sometimes more quantity could also result in fading. Thanks.
@@Khan456Khan-g3z please don't keep changing detergents. For Front load machines Ariel , Surf Excel or Henkel are good. While buying you take care to see they are mainly for front load washing machines. Also you are supposed to use it in less quantity only.
9 Months have passed how is it doing. I am thinking of buying it even though it is around 6000 rupees more costly than Godrej, TCL, Voltak Beko, Motorola(is the cheapest) and Realmi (which is 6Kg and 6.5kg I don't need 7KG actually) which are the only models(in Stock) that is less than 44cm Depth. No place in the house so can't go above 18 inches( with the space needed at the back 20inches to 21 INches is actually more the machine will come in the way but we will have to adjust. So the real question is after reading reviews of Motorola very poor after service. Voltas Beko doesn't break down good reviews but those who have problems say it is takes weeks to months for replacmennt. No checked reviews for TCL and Godrej in detail but a few complains are there. Then I decided to search for slimline I found Bosch and LG Bosch is not available at all in India. Only This model is available on Flipkart. So please advise would this be worth the 6000 extra for a good service. Thank you 🙏🙏
Hi, after 9 months it is working perfectly fine. And regarding LG itself, I can safely assure that it is reliable and works for a long time. I am having a LG Front Load Washing Machine since 2008 and it is working fine. And their service is also very reliable. The service person comes within a day of calling for service. Since you have space issues and are looking for a thin machine, you can definitely go for it. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you so much for the reply. I have still not purchased i will get this right away. I think the extra 6k Is worth and since it is direct drive so no issue of belt getting spoiled.
@@BhuvanaAdi I just purchased it Fortunately I decided to talk to customer care on LG website to confirm the size and certain features before ordering and the Executive gave me Her employee disocunt of 5% and and coupon code and advised to me to sign up with a different email I get another 7% new customer coupon. Totally I got the washing machine for 20175. YEAH!!. This is cheaper than TCL GOdrej and almost the same price as motorola

What about steam ? How effective it is ? Is it used for all programs ?
Steam is effective in clothes which need to be disinfected. Ideally only cotton fabric is recommended for steam. In this machine it is there only in one program - Baby care. Thanks.
How useful is Turbo wash function in LG? It is available only in high end models. I did not find it in 8 kg model.
My new machine is so much whirring noise while washing.
Is that normal?
The machine is balanced correctly by the legs of the machine btw
I am not exactly understanding your issue. Can you please share a video clip to my email ID bhuvanaadis@gmail.com, so that I can help you.
During draining we can usually hear such noise, but since you mention that the noise is during washing, it is not clear.
