WORST CHOICE I EVERRRRRRR MADE!
on July 31, 2019
Posted by: Debjam
from Houston, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this washer 4 years ago and it has been down more than I've been able to use it. I purchased a warranty on it, but of course it expired when the problems started. I purchased an extended warranty with Total Home Protection (VERY BAD CHOICE). April 2018, it would not drain (UE error) the technician came out and supposedly fixed it. A month later it went out again, same problem (UE error). I had to pay another $60 for the repairman to come out again. On the 3rd try, I was told the mother board needs replacing. The warranty company told me the part is on back order (3 months now, FORREAL). Now they told me they will send me $100 to replace the part myself. I said all of this to say, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. Now I'm sitting her with a washer not working and I have only had it 4 yrs.
Pros: Style/Design, Features/Settings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible washer!
on July 14, 2019
Posted by: BB ears
from Midwest
About 2 years ago my reliable 22-year-old Whirlpool washer finally broke. I purchased this LG washer. I didn't know it was possible to dislike an appliance this much. First, everything comes out of the washer very dry and wrinkled. Another reviewer posted a picture of wrinkled clothes that is accurate. The wrinkles are so deeply set it is almost impossible to get them out. I've tried putting soaking wet towels in the dryer before adding the clothes. I have even hung garments in the shower and fully soaked them then let them dry on hanger, but the wrinkles still show. Nothing works except strenuous ironing. Even my easy-care, no-iron items like Jersey knits have to be ironed. I almost never had to iron before I bought this washer. Second, it must have been designed by people who are over 6' tall. I am 5' 8" tall, and I can barely get the clothes out of the bottom of the machine. I have to use a step stool or stand on my tiptoes and drape myself over the front edge of the machine which actually hurts.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad washer
on June 3, 2019
Posted by: mywasher
from Kalispell, Mt
We have owned this washer since August of 2015 and it has been the worst ever washer. It constantly wants to refill when rinsing even after we have done everything suggested to remedy it. It's level and on a solid floor. It just doesn't work right. It takes forever to do a load of wash. I wish we would have returned it right after we bought it, but we thought there was probably a learning curve and that was our mistake. Just don't buy one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Washer failed in 4 years.
on May 24, 2019
Posted by: Jordan12345
from Gilbert, AZ
There are only 2 of us using this washer and it failed before 5 years. Luckily we purchased the 5 year extended plan from Lowe's otherwise we'd be out more money. The problem is that the drain motor keeps running even after the unit is powered off. We had to physically unplug the unit from the wall to get the motor to stop running. Repair guy who's coming out called and after we described the symptom to him said the control board is bad and new one needs to be ordered. Now probably looking at a week without a washer.
4 years? Really... They don't make them like they used to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad engineering operation design.
on April 30, 2019
Posted by: LG tumbs down
from Milwaukee WI
LG please send my regards to the people involved on designing this machine. High efficiency!!!! That is more like very poor efficiency. First of all worst buy I’ve ever done Waste of my hard earned money waste of my time having to babysit the dang machine waste of water when it goes off balance this is a very non reliable machine that all it does is agitate for a bit then spin clockwise then counterclockwise is just very frustrating and disappointing. I know this is a discontinued Model but, I hope you’ve learn from all the bad reviews and have done something about it. One thing for sure is that this is the first time I bought an LG product and the last I’m so mad that I’m not interested in giving you another try.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Large loads
on April 20, 2019
Posted by: Nancy N
from Raleigh, NC
I love this washing machine. It takes really large loads of clothing. We have had it for 4 years and had no problems. yes - it can be hard to reach all the way down into the washer to unload it, and like my other he washer you need to put in a special detergent to tub clean it a couple times a year. And I leave the lid open when not in use. No issues with unbalanced loads - in fact it balances almost all my loads with centrifugal force. Been a great washer for us.
Pros: Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes a long time to wash. (1.5 hours) I work outside and end up with a lot of dirt and oil on my clothes and the machine struggles to get the clothes clean.
Pros: Style/Design, ease of use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Waste of money
on March 23, 2019
Posted by: Nancy in New Jersey
from New Jersey
We purchased this washer in 2015 because it was supposed to be energy efficient and it certainly is not. Almost e very load says it's off balance even though it is level according to the booklet it came with. It wastes water by filling, emptying and refilling just to get a load to be unbalanced. after three tries it will stop, no matter how many times you adjust the load it usually does not fix it. I have wasted more time babysitting this washer so I can catch it before it stops, spins out the water and refills again. My clothes don't come clean, it wastes water and electricity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
