So far, so good!

I purchased this LG washer in November after my wife said the old washer was leaking. After many years and a few fixes it was time to say good bye to the old washer.
I have been looking at washers whenever I would pass them in the Big Box Stores and one feature I wanted most was a plastic top around where the bleach dispenser is located. Every washer with the enameled steel around the bleach dispenser would rust in short order and possibly discolor the clothes when the rust would flake off. I noticed that LG had the plastic surround above the tub and I kept that in the back of my mind when time came to purchase a new washer.
After looking at several washers, this LG model was the only one that satisfied my desire - plastic around the bleach dispenser. I also wanted a top-load washer and I really liked the glass top to be able to see into the washer as it ran. That novelty wore off soon and now I keep the lid open not only to help dry out the washer but to prevent someone from dropping a jug of laundry detergent off of the shelf above the washer and breaking the glass lid! I can imagine what one of those lids cost!
Ok. Down to washing. I am very satisfied with performance of this washer. One feature I wish this washer had was a way to set the water level manually. I use the automatic normal wash settings and never had a problem with the clothes not coming clean but my wife feels there isn't enough water and always uses the 'bulky/bedding' setting which fills the tub up to the top with water. I think it is a waste of water. A manual setting would be nice to allow a half-filled tub of water for washing but I suppose that would negate the Energy Saving criteria of this washer.
A normal wash cycle is 57 minutes and I only once had to rebalance the load at the end since it was a big, bulky, single item. Lay your regular clothes out evenly on the bottom and you will not have any problem with balance. Oh, and make sure the washer is level to begin with. The curved top makes this a challenge using a level but if you look inside of the washer straight down at the tub when it is empty you can see if the large plastic support around the top of the tub is centered. If it is, then it is pretty much level. If not, the four legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to raise them if you are looking at them from the bottom. The further the legs are screwed into the base of the washer the less shaking and vibration there is when the high-speed rinse cycle runs.
Ok. I have rambled enough. I am very satisfied with this washer. If you don't like the low water level this machine uses then wash your clothes on the 'bulky/bedding' setting. If you have balance problems, check and adjust the level and length of the legs and layer your clothes evenly along the bottom of the tub before starting. If you hate rust around the bleach dispenser forming, then this washer is for you.
PS: This washer qualifies for energy rebates in many areas. I am getting $50.00 back from NJ Clean Energy Program. Be sure to check your state or local energy utility for similar programs.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Quality, energy saving
I would recommend this to a friend!

Never thought washing clothes would be fun. The washing machine plays music to let you know when your load is done and clothes come out super fresh every time.
Pros: easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

Love my new washer

Bought the matching set in Nov 2014. The washer is quiet, efficient and the features are great! My clothes are so much cleaner than with my old washer. It is big enough to wash blankets and quilts so I don't have to drag them to the laundramat anymore! Only reason I know the cycle is complete is because it plays a tune at end of cycle!

Love the design

I love the design and all the features this machine has to offer. The Smart Diagnosis feature will come in handy should we ever have problems. The multiple choices that are offered for the laundry cycles leaves nothing to be desired. I highly recommend LG to anyone looking for a new washer.

Worst washer by far
on January 1, 2015
Posted by: Hatemywasher
from California, USA
This machine takes over 4 hours to do one load of wash. It gets out of balance and no matter what I do, it won't correct it's self. I have to babysit it and sit next to the machine to constantly re-adjust the clothes inside. If I don't stay next to it, it'll fill with water and attempt (and fail) to rebalance it's self. This is a horrible waste of water and not "Energy efficient" as it claims to be.
Wasteful and time consuming. Totally dissatisfied with this machine and am now stuck with it.
