I Was an intimidated buyer
on June 3, 2015
Posted by: Skeptical Buyer
from New York State
We have an LG glass top range, and when my agitator machine finally needed replacing I purchased this but felt it was far too technically oriented for this baby boomer. Bring me back my old wringer washer. But seriously. Even after the delivery men set it up and gave the instructions, I was very wary. I was glad to have the clear window to watch the first several loads. I was/am amazed at this technology! It was easier than I first expected to figure out the settings. It was a matter of reading the manual for what setting to use for each load. That was it, honestly, my clothes are cleaner, noticably, by even my husband! And whose husband comments on how clean his clothes are? We are using less water, and now the drying time is less than half of what it used to be. That is worth more than almost having clean clothes!
This washer seems to have it all. Good features, good value, quiet function. One month in and I still really like it. The glass lid is nicety you never knew you wanted. It spins very fast so your clothes will come out drier than other washers because most of the water has been dispelled. And yet it feels so balanced. Some top-notch engineering must have gone into this product.
If I were to offer some criticism it would be to find a way to speed up the load balancing portion of the cycle. It does take about a minute sometimes even when you follow the instructions on how to place laundry in the machine. And if there were a way to turn the selection sounds down a bit (not off totally), that would be nice. It's almost too piercing sometimes.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
This machine works beautifully. For most of the negatives we read about before buying it, we have not had any of the same problems except one. This washer definitely wrinkles clothes more than a standard washer, especially jeans. There are tons of positives though such as larger loads which means less loads. We have not had the load balancing problem that some people have reported. Overall, it is a great machine and was an awesome value.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Very happy with this washer. I like the countdown of time remaining and all the choices available. I would like end chime louder to hear from another room. A short person may have trouble removing clothes from tub.
We bought this dryer and matching washer. We like them both very much. Like the front, electronic controls, easy to use cycles, excellent drying time, sturdy construction, etc. Both run very quiet with varied settings to handle most any type of clothing. Seems like high quality for the price.
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
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.
Once you get past the new technology (meaning less water) you'll see that this washer does a excellent job of cleaning your clothes. It has several features that allows you to customize your wash and the machine is very quiet. Take a few minutes to read the user guide and you will see just how easy it is to use the machine (WT1101CW). I highly recommend this washer.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
As our household has shrunk and we no longer have kids at home, we did not need a washer with a huge capacity. This washer seemed to fit our needs. The one thing we were really amazed to find out is that it operates very quietly. One drawback is the deep tub that can be hard to reach but it works great.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, quiet
