    Yeah I agree most front loaders have a shorter function. They also have timers so you can put a load in before you go to bed and it is ready when you wake up. We do this all the time. I do roughly a load a day and ours is a 7.5 ltr. I wouldn't buy our brand again as we've had quite a lot of issues with it, but I have plenty of friends with LG and they swear by them.

    We have a pretty exxy dryer but I absolutely love it and wouldn't be without it. Its an LG condenser dryer. It is extremely heavy duty and because its a condenser you don't get moisture on the walls, we also collect the water from the water container and use it to water the plants. If I were to buy another dryer (and we owned) I would get a gas condenser dryer as it costs about 6c per load as oppose to the ridiculous amounts it costs for the dryer.

    Cai that dryer sounds great. we had to repaint the laundry roof in our old house due to dryer related condenstaon issues. Hence the ceiling fan in the new laundry..too bad the dryer is in the garage

    Yep, avoid central pillar agitators in TLs.... that takes up way too much room. Our LG TL doesn't have a pillar agitator which is one of the reasons we chose it. DH still has a tendency to stuff too much into it Can't stand that... it defeats the purpose, you can't expect a good result if you overfill it.... the clothes have to be able to move to clean.

    Like the sound of condenser dryers too Cai. We rarely use our dryer... like you said, ridiculously expensive to use... I don't know how people afford it when they use dryers exclusively ie never line dry and I find they kinda wreck your clothing if you use them too much.
