We have a Samsung Ecobubble , does look great as well as wash good..
Can I ask why you want such a big drum, as I said a double quilt will fit in an 8Kg drum.
Sister owns horses, she will need to wash horse rugs from time to time, hence the need for an 11kg drum

Are they bigger than a quilt!
Depends on the horse! But in some cases yes they are!
Fair enough.
But the LG's are real quality machines, the Direct Drive models come with a 2 year warranty and a 10 year warranty on the Direct Drive system.

So by assuming that the washing machine is anything like your average turntable, are most washing machines belt driven?
Yes, with a motor. From what I understand...
Yeah they are, Daewoo do a washing machine with direct drive but LG are better machines.
Plus getting hold of spares for a Daewoo is like finding hens teeth.
Most machines you have a motor and belt, belts snap, the carbon brushes wear, direct drive removes all of that.

My Bosch washing machine was purchased in 1999 and has been used most days since. Sure it's had a couple of issues but it was made in Germany and built with parts designed to last.
The last engineer who serviced it told us to keep it going as long as possible.
I think most cheap Bosch machines are not made in Germany anymore.

+1 to LG
Their DD system is great: ridiculously quiet, more reliable than belt, and they have some other cool efficiency gadgets (like showering water from the sump over the clothes to reduce water usage which also allows the putting of liquid detergent straight into the drum), not to mention being very easy to use.
Bosch are still great, but they've started catering to the cheapo market a bit now so not all their stuff is as good as it used to be. Miele are fantastic, but stupidly expensive.
I should add that Samsung have started doing DD motors for some of their models, but besides their "diamond drum" and some other pretty useless extras, it doesn't improve on the LG, which was the first to bring it to the market. Might be cheaper though, and the DD motor is the real selling point.
LG have have similar drum.

And then you're going to get people who actually put these machines through big tests in proper labs for the best part of 27 years and sent their results all around the world to magazines like WHICH.
Yeah, and for some reason I prefer their bubble drum to the diamond drum, although the diamond drum is supposed to be better at preventing bobbling
