Your washing machine is likely a big part of your life, and there’s a pretty good chance that through the years you’ve been through a lot together: load after load, an abundance of stain-removal, and all the fun stuff in between.
So even if you’re not sentimentally attached, it may be difficult to say goodbye, since a new washer is an investment—but many good things have to come to an end, and it’s important to know when the time is right to update your home appliances.
Here are a few signs that it’s time to bid adieu to the washing machine you’ve been working with the past few years in favor of something new and improved.
And if you’re looking for something innovative and state-of-the-art to upgrade to, LG’s washers are the way to go, with plenty of options available to fit your family’s wants and needs.
1. It’s not cleaning your clothing and linens to your standards.
A washer that doesn’t wash your clothing well is frustrating, to say the least, and after a while it becomes downright unacceptable. You don’t want to have to put your family’s valuable clothing and linens through multiple cycles just to get them clean, and you don’t want to waste your time dealing with a washing machine that used to work well, but now can’t seem to get out even the most basic stains or odors.
Many LG washers use steam technology, which helps powerfully clean, dissolve dirt, and remove odors.
2. You find yourself overloading it.
As your family grows, so too do your wardrobes and your overall laundry needs. If this is the case in your home, you might try to save some time and energy by forcing more into your washer than it’s built to fit. But this is generally for naught, since an overloaded washer isn’t likely going to adequately clean all your clothing.
LG washers are designed to have more room, so they can take on bigger loads without sacrificing cleaning quality, and without taking up more space in your laundry room.
3. It’s getting up there in years.
If you think back to the time you initially purchased your washing machine and realize it’s been a few years, you may want to think about switching it out for a newer model—because the longer you keep it, the more likely it is that its age will impact its effectiveness. And let’s be honest, the last place you want to spend a chunk of your day is at the laundromat.
4. Repairs just aren’t worth it.
Sometimes repairing an older washer is the way to go, but only if it’s an inexpensive fix that you and your plumber truly believe will extend the life of your machine. If your washer breaks down, make sure you get an estimate on what repairs will cost before enlisting those services, because you’re likely to find that purchasing a new machine is a better short- and long-term investment.
If you’re ready to bring a new washer into your laundry room, be sure to check out all of LG’s washing machines. There are plenty of high-quality, smart options available to fit your family’s laundry wants and needs.
