Wash your clothes with this Amana top-load washer. The dual-action agitator rolls clothes throughout the entire wash basket while the 680 rpm spin cycle removes water from clothing to dry them faster, and the deep water wash option adds more water during the rinsing cycle. The Amana top-load washer has a porcelain tub to stop clothes from snagging.

This machine replaced a basic non-HE machine, bought used and very old, that had finally given out. I've had for about a year.
The first thing I noticed about this machine was that the wash cycle selection knob was/is so loose it twirles like a top whenever I accidentally nudge it. Hence, though I always leave it on DEEP WATER WASH I'm never really sure that's what I'm getting and, since the lid locks, I can't see the water level. The next thing I noticed immediately upon the finishing of the first load was that when I transferred my washed items from this machine to my dryer the load was SATURATED with water that had not been spun out. Picture this: Every week I have to launder three comforters used by my animals. This was never a problem before. But now after washing those items it's obvious they're not really clean. Worse, they're so wet that I can't run the dryer for anywhere near what it would take to dry up all that water. Yea, It's winter and I have comforters hanging all around my house, near registers, until they're dry enough to put away... Ridiculous. But I shouldn't have to drag these items to a laundromat. I'm an adult with a washing machine, for crying out loud. If you're buying into the hoopla about big savings on your water bill with the new HE washers know that THIS machine will force you to have to DRY your loads longer, resulting not just in your savings disappearing but likely costing you considerably more on your electric bill(!). Woo-hoo. That's bad enough but...
Where this machine REALLY fails is in its inability to clean your clothes. I have animals and use white terry cloth rags in lieu of paper towels (which used to save me a lot of money) to clean everything, including litter boxes. I have always washed those rags in a separate load using a combination of quality detergent, bleach, and Borax. Rags used for cleaning will obviously always have stains that will never come out but my cleaning rags NEVER came out DINGY until I started using this machine. My first load of white cleaning rags came out so gray, and I was so disgusted, that I was forced to re-wash the entire load with a boatload of bleach. Since then, every load of white cleaning rags swims in bleach to counteract the inability of this washing machine to clean. But wait. It gets better.
Cats puke on everything. If you have them you know about coming home to their dried up bilious goo in rugs, towels, etc.. Well, not once, or twice, but five times I have thrown something a cat has puked on into this washing machine and when the load was done found the puke STILL on the item. And, as always, the load was super wet. More re-washing.
I was thinking maybe all HE washing machines were a compromise, much like those hideous CFL lightbulbs everyone tried to convince us were fabulous even though their light was downright funereal and the savings went out the window when all the utility companies raised their rates to make up for the profits they claimed they were losing (though your electric bill never went down, did it?). I started voicing my HE machine frustrations to co-workers only to learn that none of them were having these issues with their HE brands. The difference? They all spent quite a bit more for bigger RPM's. When I first looked inside this machine I was dismayed to see no agitator. When I first used this machine I was dismayed by the obvious lack of sound in the SPIN cycle. I was right to be concerned. When it comes to HE machines, you get what you pay for. Btw, I do NOT overload my machine, ever. I like my laundry clean. I also miss being able to allow a load to soak. You can't do that with this machine. You probably can't do that with any HE machine. I need to commune with my co-workers on that because it matters - and I WILL be replacing this washer with a better one as soon as I can. All I know is If my whites aren't getting clean then nothing's getting clean, whether I can see the dirt or not.

Great SOUND for 19"!!
on November 8, 2016

I needed a small tv with a good picture and better sound, for the size of the set. What I GOT was a tv with a terrific picture and EXCELLENT sound (I specifically searched the reviews for comments about the sound before buying). Can you imagine happily paying only $69 for a small tv, then being forced to spend hundreds on speakers or a sound bar, just to make it usable? At some point, consumers need to put their collective foot down. I don't know about you but if decent sound is sacrificed to make for a thinner tv, that's a trade-off I'm not willing to make. I get why people might want a huge sound system for the one tv in the house where the game is always on, but I know I don't want a bunch of dust-collecting boxes and gadgets wired up to every single tv in my house. I don't have the space for it, don't want to pay for all that, and I especially do not want to CLEAN all that.
None of that is a concern with THIS set, however. If you want a great little set that offers a lot for a great little price, well, here you go. I'm considering purchasing at least one more. Such a great deal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LG High-Efficiency Washer: Toss clothes in the wash, select 1 of 8 cycles and 5 temperature settings via touch-screen controls and make fast work of laundry. Use the delicates cycle to wash sensitive items and the quick-wash cycle when you're short on time.

Worth working 60 hours a week to afford!!!
By Nell
I have been postponing purchasing a new washer/dryer for years because I am so dirt poor. I finally had to give in a few weeks ago after my beloved 2001 Kenmore Elite washing machine cleaned its final load and died. This washing machine has been life changing. I am an extremely busy lady working two jobs as an RN, going to school full time, and raising two children alone. There is not a dime to spare for luxurious expensive appliances, but I would buy this again in a heart beat. My clothes come out so much cleaner than I ever knew possible and the spin cycle takes nearly every ounce of water out so dry time is so short!!! I have very little extra time in the day to worry about laundry, and now that burden is lifted. I assure you LG is not reimbursing me for this endorsement (although they can if they so desire), but I would gladly do a commercial because I believe in this so much. Sometimes you don't realize the weight of a problem until that problem is solved. With two teenagers in the house we go through an embarrassing amount of dirty clothes but now I can finish the wash in one evening. This machine is quiet, efficient, and user friendly. I am so glad I took the time to read reviews before making a purchase. There is a reason this washer has received so many stars. I am near tears realizing how life changing this product is. Once I save up enough money you can bet I'll be back to buy the matching dryer but genuinely it isn't even a huge concern because the washer has made such an impact. For every butt I've had to wipe, every IV Iv'e had to start, every irritable doctor I've had to calm, I am thankful because I could afford to buy this washing machine. Laundry=solved.

You were SMART!

I went for the budget HE machine and knew with the first load I'd made an awful mistake. I was just so broke at the time.... Now, I'm working for another machine(!). Probably THIS one, thanks largely to your words: "life changing." That's what I want. A washing machine that will get my clothes clean and change my life. Good for you, girl! :)

We're talking two rugs washed separately with tiny little messed areas ANY machine should have been able to handle. I certainly never had to wash my items before I washed my items with my old machine. Maybe you just don't ask for much? Like clean clothes?
