>I bought an LG washer/dryer combo because it was on sale and it vibrates like fuck,

buy "anti-vibration foam" or just buy an inch thick styrofoam plate. in every building supplies store

>>61683108
Thanks for the useful advice.

OBH Nordica is fucking shit. I've returned their air purifier twice before giving up on them. I don't think I've ever had a problem with anything made by Phillips.

>buying new washers and dryers with PC boards in them
>wanting to replace the $400 board or the entire machine every 5 years
fuck that. i bought a speed queen set and that should last forever. all mechanical switches and controls. not to mention, the wash tub fills up all the way. HE is a gimmick which doesn't do shit.

I got a entry-midrange Bosch and it's fine. Only makes a bit of high-pitched noise while spinning the laundry.

If you want something high-end, try a Miele.

I miss my old Whirlpool washer and dryer. Black on almond, an aesthetic nightmare but damn if it wasn't reliable. It became a victim of too much money and HE meme.

Well, this board has been monopolised by a PC-centric culture for too long.

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing more threads about more types of technology. I suppose you don't want this board to be strictly about academic research or some shit like that.

So what else could it be about? Linux and anime all day?

enjoy your bootloop

>>61683108
This, and make sure it's level. You can usually adjust the height of the stands on the bottom corners to level it out.

If it vibrates, you didn't install it properly.

Every decent WM has adjustable feet to prevent it from vibrating.

>>61684786
You're right, that's probably his problem. He probably tried to wash his dragon dildo collection by itself, but if you don't throw a towel in there with them they bounce around too much and cause a ton of noise.

I'd take a /g/ that was programming and appliances over graphics cards and CPUs any day, as long as the programming part is /prog/, not /dpt/.

>>61684878
Why do you niggers talk about programming so much? It's about as interesting or useful as comparing the experience of birthing your last shit.

>>61684976
What do you talk about? What would you like /g/ to talk about?

>>61682752
put tennis balls underneath it

>>61682752
OP please tell me you removed the travel rods first?

Where the fuck do you buy shit that willl last you a lifetime?

I remember my grandma had her shit working for like 30 years.

>>61682752
LG appliances really fucking suck OP, had a shitty LG fridge that barely chugs along and a shitty absolute dogshit LG washer. They are absolutely 100% designed with planned obsolescence. Get a MAYTAG washer, thing is simple in design, easy to fix, and has a 10 year warranty. No stupid "smart" interfaces that break constantly and are a gimmick.

>>61682752
>>61685208

This was my thought. New HE washers, LG included, may not be built to last, but mine sure as fuck doesn't vibrate like described.

If you left the shipping bolts in, though, the drum wouldn't have any suspension and it would shake the goddamned walls.

>>61682752
Did you remove the transit screws?

Speed Queen for the win, but you better hurry they are being forced to change them in 2018 per Government Regulations.
Anon said "the wash tub fills up all the way"
about $2000 US for washer and dryer. Only buy from someone who will service it. (Your closest Speed Queen dealer)

>>61683067
This.
German high quality engineering. Don't trust any shitty non-german brands when it comes to machines.

Can y'all explain what's meme about HE? Genuinely curious
>tfw Kenmore washer

It's alright but the idiots who put it in fucked something up because the water only comes out hotter than Satan's liquid shit and I've been too lazy to fix it over the past four years of living here.

>>61687052
Miele is real nice but $2500 for just the washer.

>>61687058
uses less water and shit, some automatically detect how much water you need for your load of laundry that you put it.

>>61687154
Yeah. I mean I get what it does. But there's been reference to the "HE meme" in the thread and I was curious if there was substance behind that dismissal or not.

>>61687172
oh my bad

Zug is ultra quiet but mega expensive. May not be available in your country.

Bosch. Miele.

Everything else is shit-tier nowadays.

Moan about the price if you like, everyone else is making them to break.

But serious vibration like that is most likely an installation problem. You did take the travel bolts out, right?

You actually feel like you're getting what you pay for when you buy their stuff

Threadjack!

What is the /g/ DC powered application manufacture of choice?

>we solar powered now

I liked Samsung, LG, AEG, Bosch, Miele, Electrolux and Zug.

Samsung and LG should typically be the best deals among these.

>>61682752
Make sure you properly installed the machine.

That's more likely the problem than something else, unless the machine was used or transported very improperly.

>>61683038
The company is a conglomerate of Korea. You probably are also mad that you used an exploding phone when you knew full well those fuckers make ovens.

>>61682752
All dryers vibrate. It's the fact you live on the top floor that neighbors get pissy

>>61682752
Gorenje all the way. I've had their appliances for years without any issues. My grandmother has a Gorenje laundry machine from the 70s. Still works flawlessly.

I assume you checked to see if it was positioned stably?

washing machines will flip the fuck out if they're not aligned properly and/or have shit underneath them that doesn't belong

I use a Panasonic slant tub front load HE DC inverter washer.
Much quieter than the top loader it replaced and a noticeable drop in water and electric bills.

Also my clothes don't get tangled and light fabrics don't get damaged.

Bosch is shit. Their fridges of stainless steel began to rust within 2years. Utter shit.

Miele

>>61690078
I have some stainless Bosch stuff and no rust. but stainless isn't stain-free. do you live in a salty/humid environment? did you use agressive cleaners? (protip: don't) a thin coat of oil should preserve the finish even in harsh conditions.

Miele
Buy used if you cant afford new, its not.like they break anyway.
