LG Laundry equipment

You got that right. I read somewhere that LG Electronics is a subsidiary of South Korea's second largest corporation, LG Group. Other subsidiaries build ag tractors (including the Montana and some Mahindra compacts) and they even own a company that produces silverware. Like most Asian companies they are very diversified.

LG is Lucky Goldstar - Kumsung. Goldstar has been a brand in the US for quite a while. LG has been pretty upscale, more so than they were as Goldstar. I don't think there was any merger, this is more of a Datsun is now Nissan thing...

They and Samsung are the biggies - Daewoo is another big Korean player.

My laundry is set up that I have to use front loaders. We like that format.

Timb, LG is a 92 billion annual comapny with 130,000 employees world wide. They do petro chemical, agricultural (tractors), electronics (computer monitors, cell phones, goldstar air conditioners, flat screen TV;s), chemical (Tropicana coco butter soap), appliances etc.....

Their agricultural division manufactures the Montana tractors, many Farmtrac tractors, some Tafe and now it looks like some Landini. They have been around since the 40's I believe.

The LG is accompanied by the saying "Life's Good" but originally was Lucky Goldstar. They win more awards at the Consumer Electronics show than any other electronics companies as of late and manufacture excellent products.

Thanks,

I was wondering if Mike was looking at an LG washer/dryer because he mistook the "Montana" green for JD green. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You DWEEB! You found me out!!!!

Even I know better than to re-paint them green!

I know several people (seven) that have the LG machines and all are happy and have had no problems. At least as of a year ago when we bought our Whirlpools, the boss lady liked them better for whatever reason.

I have no idea about a lint screen and have only done two or three loads ever.

BTW the best thing I ever did was ruin an expensive sweater of hers about 15 years ago and I got out of doing laundry since then!!!!

You are exactly right about the placement. I've had mine about 2 years now and they're great. Definitely gotta put the washer on the left though, as it makes it a cinch to move clothes from the washer to the dryer.

"Definitely gotta put the washer on the left though"

When we bought our current machines, the washer was on the left and the doors opened the right direction to make that simple. Then we bought this house and had to put the washer on the right and dryer on the left because of the location of the water, electric, drain, and exhaust. Much less convenient for my wife, but I've never been able to figure any practical way to change it.

Bird - get extension hoses for the water, drain and vent. Then put the washer and dryer anywhere you want.

I realize it's possible, but I don't think practical. The dryer vent is already longer than I think is best, although another 3' probably wouldn't make a lot of difference. I'd also have use extension cords for the electricity, and I really don't know how much, if any, difference it would make in the distance the washer had to pump the water out.
