Great washing machine

We needed a new washer and dryer to replace the 1990 era ones left in our new house. After reading reviews I decided to go with this lg and matching dryer. Don't believe what some people say about clothes not getting wet because they think there is not enough water. they operate the same as a front loader ( witch do not fill with water # I have washed single bulky and light items, to over full loads to really test it. this washer has preformed with no issues. It is quiet and looks good. It dose take some getting used to the fact there is no agitator but again front loaders do not have them either. I've watched the wash cycle and with the drum movement you do see your clothes slowly moving around, also a few time through out the wash cycle the entire drum spins like its in the spin cycle just to move the clothes around and then continues to wash so it is impossible when people say they have clothes that do not get wet. I will also say that the longer wash cycle # adv 1 hr 10 min # is fine when you consider the dryer on normal heat # not med high , or high ) can dry a full load in 35 min. so when you add it up it takes about the same amount of time and everything has come out clean.
you will not regret getting this washer and matching dryer.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I have only owned this product for a month but so far it has been a blessing to have. Please note I bought my washing machine April of 2013 not April 2011.
This is my first top load HE washer and my first washer from LG. I previously had another brand front load HE washer. and I did not like it. I'm glad to be back to a top load but I have to say I was a little wary about not having an agitator. I'm pleasantly surprised that even a top load HE washer can use such a small amount of water and the clothes come out surprisingly clean. The machine is very quiet and although they suggest cleaning the machine once a month by running a cleaning cycle w/bleach I don't think this machine will be grimy and smelly like the old front load machine that I had. Also, the capacity is very large and even though I'm only doing laundry for two people I appreciate being able to do large loads when needed.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
this machine is fantastic! it is quiet, energy efficient, uses less water; the list of impressive things about this machine is almost endless. i could go on and on. stellar quality and performance. i highly recommend this machine.

As long as our clothes get clean, I have no problems and the washer has performed well. Some cycles seem rather long and I wish there were a knit cycle as not all knits are delicate.
this is a fantastic washer i have no complaints at all. i can wash a lot of clothes at one time because the drum is very deep. i have no problem with balancing the load it does that for you. i love the child proof lock. i also have the matching dryer.

I've had the washer a couple months now, it has a lot of good features and for basic washing works great.
I have noticed that with heavy stains including blood stains, even with pretreating and using the heavy duty setting, the washer doesn't get the stains out as well as a standard agitator-type washer. For basic washes, the clothes come out smelling fresher and drier than the standard washer I had previously.
Also be forewarned that the cycle times are drastically increased over a standard washer, but this is partially negated by the huge capacity of the washer. I can typically do the equivalent of two loads from my old washer with one in the WT1101CW.
The washer has a bunch of different useful features. One strange omission is the lack of the "Water Plus" feature that is available on the lower WT1001CW. This adds more water to the load to make sure that the top clothes are submerged better than the standard setting. I haven't had any problems as long as you use the Extra Rinse feature on the cycle, but this also adds even more time to the already-long cycle.
