When I was out of state during an extended hospital stay in 2013, I knew with low immunity that I would need a new washer and dryer. The kids got the LQ (8000 Series)
steam front loaders for us, with the pedestal bases and some kind of rubber under-mats. Mine are in the garage.
I can’t emphasize enough how much I love these machines! In addition to all the various wash cycles, I can use the Steam Fresh cycle for many useful things, only takes a short time and does wonders for clothes that are clean but wrinkled or have been in in the closet for awhile, refreshing pillows that don’t need washing yet, all kinds of things. The wash cycles are great, and the clothes get clean (I use Charlie’s Soap and vinegar for a rinse agent).
Glad to hear about your positive experience with the LG 8000 machines.
We certainly love ours.
Hope your immunity situation is improving.
