I bought this washer 2 years 10 months ago and it has been diagnosed with major internal failure and is not cost effective to repair. I am aware that the average life expectancy of appliances can be less than 3 years no matter the brand name. Another one to the landfill, so sad!
We've had this washer for about a year now and love it. As of right now we have a litter of 10 puppies in our house and this washer is able to handle at least 3 loads a day and gets all the bedding clean after 1 wash. Not to mention it cuts the drying time in half being HE. We love this washer!
The washing machine is so deep that I cannot reach the clothes in the bottom. This is due to the controls being in the front of the top panel. I have never experienced this with any other model of washing machine. Another problem with machine is that almost every time the cycle stops with uneven load error. It seems impossible to place the load in a manor that doesn't go out of balance.
Having a mind of its own, this washer will spin and refill, spin and refill, for hours. I have to stand by and pause it when it stops spinning, stop the machine and pull out the soggy clothes to be dried for hours. I will never buy another LG product.
I bought this Washer this summer.. it is now December. I love the energy and water efficiency with this washer. I have noticed a decrease in my electric bill. Also it does a good job cleaning clothes and has quite a few "options" whether you are washing bulky or delicate items. The only thing you have to be aware of is that you need to load the washer in a balanced manner. If you just throw your clothes in the wash "willy/nilly" this is not the washer for you. It will try to correct its balance by itself, but it does that by putting more water in the washer and trying to separate out the clothes. You end up wasting a ton of water. Sometimes it can correct it self and sometimes you need to separate and balance out the clothes. I have only had this happen like 3 times, and always when I just threw the clothes in with out thought to balancing the load. Anyway beside the washer requiring me to take a few minutes only when loading.. this washer is simple and great to use. I love it!!!
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I bought this washer in December of 2014 and it has operated very well. However, the water discharge hose broke and I find it is next to impossible to find a replacement anyplace other than the internet. Now I have to be without a cloths washer for over a week until the hose comes in. The LG washer is great but heaven forbid it should need replacement parts. Very unhappy.
It never stays in balance. Even running in cleaning mode with NO CLOTHES in it, it will become unbalanced. We've tried every fix we can find (balancing the machine, washing like clothes, using less detergent) to no avail.
