Does anyone have an LG washer that they can listen to on a portable consumer shortwave radio?
I've received a couple of recommendations for an LG WM2277HW as being RFI free. Unfortunately this is now a discontinued model.
All of the washers that I have listened to in the store (on a portable shortwave radio with a whip) make RFI. Many are not heard 10 or 15 feet away.
This is typical for all of the LG washers that I have listened to. My neighbor has the recommended LG WM2277HW and it does the same thing. I can hear it up close but it is quiet 10 or 15 feet away. I don't think I have ever heard it from across the street on my dipole.
I'd like to get a couple of confirming reports about reception of LG washing machine RFI using a portable radio. If the reports agree that the washer is not an RFI problem with a real radio and dipole, but it can still be heard on a portable radio in the laundry room then I can be a bit more confident that the LG's are a reasonable risk to purchase.
So far I have found no one with a decent return policy. Most have none... no buyer's remorse allowed. The best one was a 25% restocking fee.
If all goes well we will purchase an LG this weekend. Please help if you can!
Thanks
