Lots of features
on February 25, 2015
Posted by: Kac52b
from Missouri, USA
I really like this washer! Especially the lack of spindle in the center to grab straps on shirts and stretch them out. I've only had one issue with the load balance thing that previous reviewers have mentioned, and it was with a large bulky load. My only issue has been it doesn't do the greatest job getting extremely dirty clothes clean. It just doesn't agitate enough. So my husbands greasy clothes always get run through twice. Other than that, I have no problems with it!
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this washing machine. So quiet

This is by far the BEST washing machine I have ever owned. I bought this LG washing machine because of the LG quality and once again they out did themselves.Its washes the cloths so good and the best thing is you don't even know the washing machine is running and gets the clothes so clean. My son is needing new washing machine and is getting one just like this. I would recommend this washing machine to anyone!

Disappointed
on March 20, 2015
Posted by: G E Cox
from Kenton, OH
Usually a positive person I feel it necessary to comment on my disappointment with our LG washer. Consistantly (1of3 loads) reads "UNBALANCED" no matter load size. Can't leave unattended as a result. Must stand at machine when cycles change to readjust if necessary. Timer may read 1:15 for heavy duty load but will take 1:45. My fault for not registering when bought in 2013, lesson learned.
Pros: Performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product needs work.
on April 6, 2015

This washer is a pain in the butt. I'd estimate over 50% of the loads require attention due to an unbalanced condition. I'd read some reviews about this prior to purchasing and just thought they were doing something wrong, machine not leveled, whatever, but I found that these reports were accurate. Sometimes it takes several clothing redistributions to get something the washer likes. Sometimes loads that appear to be spinning fine will decide the load is unbalanced after several minutes of spinning. Other times loads that make the washer visibly shake finish without a problem. If you like playing with your washer for hours while trying to finish a load then this is the washer for you. Otherwise move on. BTW, the washer does clean wonderfully, if/when you can actually get it to finish.
Pros: unbalanced
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrific washer so far.
on April 20, 2015
Posted by: Sechal
from Massachusetts, USA
This unit has worked flawlessly. I do note that some users have received units that always seem to go out of balance- not ours. I fully read the manual and looked at people's tips on use. No errors, none, nada. We've tried several different settings. We're not overly aggressive with spin speed, choosing the lowest when possible. We are also conscientious about how we load the washer, as suggested, from outside in.
You're always going to find people who don't like a product, none work perfectly. But for the majority of buyers of this model, the numbers speak for themselves. Couldn't be happier with it. Clothes come out clean and fresh, even my 12-year old's hockey clothes....now that's saying something!
Do not hesitate to buy this washer, it works beautifully.

Great top loading washer
on May 23, 2015
Posted by: natnat
from Georgia, USA
I reviewed washers for hours and went with this one after reading the reviews all over the web and after reading that it was recommended by Consumer Reports.
It holds MORE that the awful expensive front loading machine I replaced that kept leaking. (I will NEVER have a front loading machine again.) This washer has a FLAT bottom (no agitator). It is fully electronic. (really didn't want that, but it has turned out to be very nice.)
I do want to WARN buyers that is a VERY tall washer. Originally when it was delivered, I was upset that I could not open the lid because of the cabinets above washer. However, it has a feature on the door that makes part of the lid "collapse". Sounds weird, but it is very cool and works great. You may want to measure your space and then add another foot or so for lid opening etc. (Read about the lid locking feature....)
I love my washer. The people that complain about the low level water, must have only had the water guzzingly older models of decades ago...... I found it funny when I read the complaints. My clothes are clean.... I am a women and am very particular. Buy the washer. I have had mine for 2 months but a colleague at work has had hers for 2 years and loves it still. (It plays a cute little tune when the load it done!)
The washer is idiot proof.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality, pretty

Doing Laundry and enjoying it
on May 26, 2015
Posted by: ncclassyman
from Wendell, NC, USA
It took a little getting used but now I actually halfway enjoy doing the laundry whereas I always used to put it off and hate doing it. Like this washer and it runs so quiet and has many great features that I am still learning to use. My clothes come out with less wrinkles from the spin cycle and most things come out of the dryer ready to hang up or fold. I'm very pleased with this washer.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

Constant UE Error Frustrating
on May 31, 2015
Posted by: ReyBey
from Northern Virginia
This product worked fine for about a year. Then the UE or unbalanced load error made washing a hassle. Each load now has this problem, often multiple times. It means you must redistribute the load by hand and then hope it will finish washing and spin to the end. But, most times that is not the case and the load must be adjusted again, and again by hand. Others have reported this problem. As others have noted, we also chose this washing machine based in large part on a Consumer Reports recommendation that it turns out in our case was just wrong. We also liked the LG brand for its product reliability but that is also now in question with this experience.
Pros: avoid
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
