Been using this LG F1450DPRE Washer Dryer for more than 6 months but less than a year.

So far so good, and it does what it supposed to do.

Since this is not a cheap machine, I will have to make sure this machine is well taken care of, for its longevity.

I installed a water pre-filter on my washer dryer water inlet, so that the filter can reduce any sedimens presents in the water.

For the drain, I installed this blue little plastic thing that I bought from Taobao, to prevent any smells and insects coming from the drain and enter my washer dryer.

Recently I have a chance to capture the power consumption for my washer dryer with my power meter purchased from Taobao.

Here are my observation:
Power switched on at plug, but without turning on the washer dryer (Standby Power): 0.0W to 0.4W
Washer dryer switched on, idle: 7.8W to 8.0W
Filling up water: 13.8W
Spinning @ 1400 RPM with drain pump operating: 380W to 400W

Power factor when idling: 0.26
Power factor while washing: 0.64

A complete "Quick 30" cycle with spinning cycle adjusted to 1400RPM, that lasted 35 minutes, uses 66W in total.

Tub Cleaning cycle that lasted around 75 minutes, uses 864W in total.
Tub cleaning cycle uses more power due to water heating, that draws around 2.2kW/h of power.

Till next time.
