hi all! this is my first post.
i own a semi-auto machine presently and planning to upgrade to lg. is direct drive is just a marketing gimmick or it's worth paying the price? i've also heard that repairing the direct ones are costlier. i'm not bothered about noise. all i want to know are direct drives wash better and more gentle on clothes? are present models of non-direct fully auto machines harsh on clothes and do not wash clothes well? i've never owned a fully auto and have no idea. can anyone compare washing quality ( including harshness on clothes ) of direct vs non-direct?
i also want to know is there any pipe for washer-dryer combo ( of lg ) which emits hot air like electric chimneys? even if it doesn't have any pipe does it still emits hot air through vents in the machine ( i mean - can i keep it in drawing room )?
the model i'm planning to buy : lg F1280CDP2 washer-dryer combo
thanks in advance.
