Very impressive washer
on May 31, 2012
Posted by: BobV

We have been using this machine about a month now and are very impressed with its features, its excellent cleaning performance, the choices of cycles and the ability to customize and tweak the cycles. How well it cleans with so little water is amazing. That is a very important feature for us because we are on a well with a reverse osmosis system that must produce every gallon of water used. The capacity dwarfs our old washer and is also one of the reasons we bought this model, as we have some rather bulky items that we occasionally have to wash. The machine handles them with no problems.
The speed wash feature is very handy for doing quick washes of exercise clothes or small loads. I believe the machine uses less water than I did washing and rinsing exercise clothes in the sink. The steam feature works great, and we are very pleased with the "cold wash" feature as well as the wash/rinse optimizer. It is nice to not have to question whether an extra rinse will be needed--with the optimizer the washer figures it out, again saving precious stored water.
Overall we are extremely pleased with this washer; it is truly a high-performance machine. I rated it average in value because it is somewhat expensive, but we do not at all regret investing in such a great machine. Now, we just hope that it lives up to LG's reputation for quality and long life.

Best washer I've ever owned. Efficient and quiet. The high spin setting works great and allows me to run the dryer less.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

Simply the best....

Washing machine I've ever owned. This machine does an excellent job of cleaning, uses minmal water, and makes very little noise. Our laundry room is on the main level and we can leave the laundry room door open and still hardly hear it. The steam and allergy cycles are very useful- we have a house full of pets- dog, cat, birds. The large capacity allows us to wash large items at home instead of taking them to a laundromat. The machine was a bit on the spendy side, but the quality and functionality make it well worh it
Pros: Performance, Features/Settings, Quality

Amazing! Just Amazing!!!
on January 13, 2012

from Bastrop, TX
It's been a long time coming for me to get a brand new washer/dryer set ... we did our research! The quality of the wash is excellent, I even put some stinky stained sheets and with the right detergent, extra rinses and bleach you can't tell they were ever stinky! My husband works in an oil field and comes home with petroleum sludge on his jeans often... and with a little Tide ... heavy duty load and 3 extra rinses ... WAMMO!!! CLEAN! Fresh smelling just amazing! I have only one complaint ... I went to wash some bathmat style rugs and I guess they wouldn't balance right ... it got stuck in the rinse cycle. I took the rugs out and rearranged them with the same results. It wouldn't spin the rugs. I hung them out to dry and then fluffed them in the dryer. The manual is at least a 1/4 " thick so there's more to learn. Ease of use for general functions is easy. I need to learn how to program my settings for say my husbands uniforms. I love the Wash feature it cleans your drum out if you do have a need to. Oh yeah clean the filter at the lower left hand corner 2x's per month!! I'm doing at least 3 loads less per week for a family of 4!!! EXTRA LARGE capacity ROCKS!!
Pros: Performance, capacity
I would recommend this to a friend!

Finally A Washer that Really Cleans Clothes
on July 5, 2010
Posted by: tinkerbellemt
from Laurel, MD
I purchased this washer a few days ago and I am amazed at how well the machine works as in washing the clothes. I have owned several washing machines in my lifetime and have never had clothes come out this clean and also in my opinion almost dry after the load is finished therefor cutting down on the drying time as well. So far this has been the best washer purchase I have ever made.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality, quiet, spins clothes almost dry, size capacity
Cons: expensive but worth it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
