An LG 7kg is certainly smaller in volume than an 8kg LG whose volume will be the same as a 10 kg LG. Motor being more powerful and possibly the 10kg may have additional features.
But the volume increases with a 11kg LG.
If the volume is the same for the brand concerned.
And I’ve used this logic to recommend an 8kg LG over a 10kg of similar volume.
Going even further by suggesting a base model over one with wifi say. I’ve recommended a model one step up because the UI was better and it claimed it was gentler on clothes due to its AI that had a bank of over 20k cycles to tweak from based on input parameters of weight and selected fabric type. For a little more than base you could get these more future proof features.
Despite the tinted front door :bored:
Absolutely. The volume angle has been my driving argument of which ‘weight’ category to go for since day 1.
What you’re not saying is the volume of your 7kg Samsung is similar if not slightly larger than an 8kg LG and is cheaper to boot.
I guess bigger machines don’t follow European standard EN 60456. This standard limits our machines. They have to fit them all under a kitchen countertop.
Well, not just the LG, the following quoted expensive Bosch 10kg machine has 70L volumetric capacity which is the same as [mine](’

Just run the eco tub clea cycle with nothing in the tub. No product.
That depends on how this cycle operates.
With Samsung front loaders after around five minutes the entire wash is dumped meaning any cleaning products would also be flushed out before they had any chance to take effect.
Is that the case with this top loader as well?
So pay attention when you run the tubclean program and tell us WHEN the water in the entire tub is emptied?
Right
This is a washer /dryer model. So why are you comparing your washer only model with it?
Volume may be similar but the dryer feature will be needed by some.
I got into an argument with a Brit washer enthusiast over this point. He insisted his LG machine could handle 8kg ofclothes as that’s what his body weight scale indicated.
I told him his bodyweight scale wasn’t accurate for a load this light and that he needed something like a luggage scale but the bugger wouldn’t agree.
I pointed out that a so called washer enthusiast shouldn’t be making rookie mistakes like this and given the views at that point none of his bloody subscribers noticed either.
I’m very direct with these guys because they ought to know better. It’s real cool you can assemble and dissemble the machine and point out all the minutiae but your basic knowledge is whack so effing learn. Very fixed mindsets these buggers have that I just love to attack.
I ordered Tide Washing Machine Liquid but made a mistake while placing the order and got the top load variant but my washing machine is a front load. Can I occasionally use it (I mainly use Ariel liquid) in my front load machine or will I run into problems?
You can try but it will foam more than the front load variant. This means cleaning will be compromised as the extra foam cusions the clothes thereby reducing the wash action.
That’s the theory. Why don’t you try it and tell us what differences you observed.
Alternatively why don’t you just exchange it for the front load version?
LG FHP1413Z7M (FL 13kg) 80L (dia51 ht39) - this one extrapolated from the 11kg FL drum and machine dimensions as i didnt have access to a floor model.. i maybe off.
Would you know of anything bigger available in india?
Anyone here using either of these, can you tell me which of these may be better at handling occasional/frequent overloading? (volume wise. Will not be exceeding weight).
My current washing machine, whirlpool 360 bloomwash TL 8kg, is 56L (43cm dia 38cm ht). Bought in 2011, still running, but over the years went through few repairs- mostly because of careless usage. I have alwayys run it the same way- weekly once. with 100% volume filled. My clothes are only lightly soiled, perhaps that is why i am able to manage this way.
After reading here i know i shd be loading to 1/2 or atleast 2/3rds.
So, hoping to find the largest drum, so i neednt overload. For the sake of the machine and clothes.
