Great product features

Looked at a lot of washers before deciding to buy this one. Very large compared to the others. Ease of use with the controls, built well and very quite. Like the design as well.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beat Expectations
on July 26, 2014
Posted by: Honest Bob
from Leland, NC
We cannot believe how great this machine is. Since we're in our 70's it was a bit unnerving seeing that the new machines have no agitator and having read some of the reviews we had our trepidations. READ the manual, especially the part where you put heavy stuff on the bottom and try to balance the load; the machine will automatically balance it but it helps to assist this wonderful feauture. The first 2 loads led us to believe that not enough water was in the tub, so I re-read the manual and that's normal.
Love it-whites actually are coming out whiter, even removing a few of the marks our old machine didn't. QUIET performance. Since the the clothes are spun dry at a higher speed they come out dryer and require half the drying time(of course saving energy). When we dried our first to loads at the normal 45-50 minutes they came out the dryer HOT and dry. So be warned-either set your dryer for half what you previously did time or turn on the temp sensing auto shutoff. This is obviously a good thing since we use half the power!

Worst washer I ever owned
on February 1, 2016
Posted by: Flrchild
from Missouri, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine has never worked properly from day one. The spin cycle stops and starts , filling with water over and over again and never finishing the load. Eventually it just stops. I have had it "repaired" 4 times with new control panels, with the same results it doesn't work.I think the problem is in the smart drum being too sensitive and thinking it's out of balance when it's not. At any rate I doubt it will ever work right and I am buying a new washer as soon as possible. Never another LG product for sure!
Pros: Features/Settings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible sensors
on February 7, 2016
Posted by: Dav L
from Delaware, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The balancing sensors on this thing are junk which will constantly mean that every load you do will become unbalanced. Once it is unbalanced any sense of efficiency is removed as it will constantly refill with water and double the length of the wash.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Definitely NOT a high efficiency washer
on February 12, 2016
Posted by: Kaylinda
from Ohio, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washer in Feb. 2014 and have to say that it is the worst washer I've ever had. I am extremely disappointed in it, and will never buy another LG washer. The UE error is ridiculous. I am constantly having to babysit my washer to make sure it's not refilling to try to redistribute the load (I bought a HIGH EFFICIENCY washer to SAVE water, not use more of it). I think it would be more efficient for me to go down to the river and scrub my clothes on a washboard. I always make sure my load is distributed correctly when I start it. I always wash like items together. I watch to make sure a load is not too large or too small, and about 2/3 of the time it becomes "unbalanced" and the load takes 2 hours to wash AND it uses a TON of water. How is this efficient??? Looking online, it appears that I'm not alone. There are tons of comments about this UE error. LG...If you want to keep customers, you need to fix this obviously poorly designed washer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awful Machine
on February 15, 2016
Posted by: pantherkids1620
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second one of the same model. First one quit working after a month. This one never gets clothes clean, always says uneven load and takes hours to do a load of laundry. Bought this machine because of Consumer Reports Review, but now see that many consumers having the same issues! They will happily send someone out for a cost!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent washing machine
on July 4, 2017
Posted by: Joe from Upstate NY
from Upstate NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with top loader. Several friends have had front loaders that burn out. This was recommended by sales person. He said front loaders hang on a bearing and they burn out. This machine cleans as well or better than any machine I had in the past
Pros: Quality, easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't waste your money!!
on April 6, 2020
Posted by: Stacy1970
from WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worst wash machine I've ever purchased! I have owed this washer for 4 years and spent countless hours rearranging unbalanced loads, wringing clothes out by hand, or re washing them because the clothes were still dirty after washing them. The clothes aren't even submerged in water..How can your clothes come out clean !!? Now my clothes won't even rinse!! I haven't been able to wash clothes for two weeks!! I've tried everything and called LG they just brush me off and say that it's not under warranty anymore! I will NEVER buy anything from them again!!! Do not buy this washing machine!! Nothing but a piece of JUNK!!! No wonder it's discontinued!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
