LG Electronics WM2277H front-loading washer

Date Published: 7/23/08

When the LG engineers developed the front-load washer WM2277H, they paid special attention to the little details that really matter over the life of a machine.

For example, they chose an unusual direct-drive motor for its low number of moving parts, resulting durability, and quiet operation. Then they installed a tilted tub that provides easy access to clothes located in the back of the drum. After considering the human factor, they made additional choices that protect clothing from damage and encourage efficient and economical operation. To meet these criteria, the designers opted for automated cycles that determine water levels and wash times based on the load type. They employed a sensor that measures the circulation of the water and adjusts it in order to prevent fraying and unnecessary wear and tear of fabrics.

The LG WM2277H washer has an extra-large capacity tub was selected that allows you to run fewer loads while saving time and energy. Bacteria and stains get the extra attention they need thanks to the sanitary cycle that raises the water temperature to 167 degrees Fahrenheit.

The controls are easily accessible electronics located on the front of the machine. A 12-hour delay timer allows you to run the laundry when most convenient. Versatile as well as convenient to use, the LG Electronics WM2277H front-loading washer can be installed freestanding, stacked, or elevated on a pedestal.

Pros: Versatile, efficient, highly engineered, technologically advanced washer
Cons: Expensive
