How can you properly clean anything with so little water used ? It also seems odd the way it (washes) - having it turn for 15 seconds, then stops for 10 seconds, etc... very strange. I would like to see the (science) that supports this as a working methodology to effectively wash (actually dirty) fabrics.
I've seen videos showing varying but understandable testing methods that show front load machines, especially LG, to clean better than pretty much anything else, and while none of those sources make any speculation as to *why* I postulate that it's due to detergent concentration. Imagine you have dirty hands - just changed the oil in your car for example. Gritty and dirty and greasy. Your two options to wash your hands are either put a squirt of soap on them, rub them together, and then rinse the soap off *or* put a squirt of soap in a full sink of water, and then wave your hands around in the mildly soapy water. The second is obviously not going to work very well. It'll get *some* dirt off, but nothing non-polar... no grease, oil, etc will be removed. There's a minimum concentration of soap/detergent, beow which it seems to be totally ineffective at loosening those non-polar molecules, and top-loaders use such an egregious amount of water that there's no way they can clean stains like that. This is why top loaders require you pre-treat stains and front loaders do not. It all comes down to the fact that water is not what cleans, it's detergent that cleans. Water is only used to move the detergent around and rinse it out of the fabric, so you want as little water as necessary to fully saturate everything. The problem with modern top loaders is they're bad at that. Top loaders can't move things around unless they're floating in a giant vat of deep water, so things don't get washed evenly or even fully saturated, and they also have no way of balancing without adding more water to float clothes around in... so their spin speeds are always much lower and as a result they also struggle to spin the detergent and rinse water out.
So the shaking at 1:14:53 is normal? Mine shakes too... My parents have a whirlpool that doesn't shake at all, still as a rock. Also mine seems tilted back for some reason, even though the top is perfectly level. All the clothes/towels end up in the back of the washer.
@@dont3222 yes I am. As some machines only engage the heater when you select sanitize. Seeing the heating element is usually 1000 watts in US washers, it would extend the wash time to reach that temp.
Your cycles are a lot shorter than our LG’s in the UK. Most of our cycles are 1 hour. Cotton cycle can range from 1 hour 18 minutes, to 3 hours 45 mins for a full load.
Will you be able to do the rinse and spin without anything in it with 1 extra rinse please.

Mr Kirk where is the drum light ? Does it have a drum light that you can turn on?
The water jets aren't activated if you don't turn on Turbowash.
Omg nice LG 🤩

It seems to move very slow. Did you put any detergent in your wash because I don't see any suds?
I can't tell if you are using cold, warm, or hot water and your washer is moving too slowly. I don't know if you used any soap or detergent.
Does the machine heat the water if it’s only connected to cold water when you select warm? I see the window fogs up during the cycle.
Are you seriously asking this question?

What is the spin speed on this machine?
High spin speed (1150 RPM)
What is the spin speed on bed setting
Kirk does this machine have.. Turbo Wash?

Because we have hot water fill.
I always have to drain and spin my clothes every load
Gonna miss this, will be out till Sunday... Bye all!
Your machine is not level if its shaking.
The Download cycle is factory set rins cycle
It needed to spin twice did not spin well on the first spin
