    Just recently had our traditional washer (Maytag) break down after 10 years, and had to purchase a new washer. After researching, we landed on this model mostly due to having good reviews and my wife really wanting the delayed start feature to run a load early in the morning.

    With a family of 6, this washer needs to run well and as soon as it arrived last week, we put it through the paces, running 10-12 loads through it (we were a little behind without our washer). It performed beautifully, clothes were clean, excellent results.

    While the cycles take longer, the tub is HUGE and holds a ton of clothes, yielding most likely a more efficient result even timewise than traditional washers.

    The machine did not come off balance once, and I believe if any problems are experienced its due most likely to not having it balanced properly when installed (just using a level and leveling the feet).

    1. Bought this machine as it was touted as being very reliable and saved on water 2. The first time I had issues was within a month after the original purchase. It did not load balance correctly and it did not put sufficient water in the machine to wash the clothes properly. Clothing was coming out of the machine with the soap scum still in the clothes. Yes I did use the recommended detergent. At times the clothes were coming out dry in spots that water had never reached. I was advised by the Tech not to put small loads into the machine, however that is not always possible. When did the consumer have to start accommodating the washing machine, which is suppose to be accommodating me. There are times when light weight loads are necessary, such as with a large load of lingerie which does not weigh very much. 3. We were then away for 8 months as this is our winter home. The machine was run through a cycle every 2 weeks by our house sitters to keep everything running, and to prevent drying out of the hoses etc. 4. When we got back to Arizona, I did 4 loads and then the machine “locked could not be opened and stopped with a load of wet clothes in the machine. It has now been over 2 weeks and it is still not working. We have had 2 repair people out, and the parts the original person brought did not fix the problem. I was told by the second repair person that it could be another 10 days - 2 weeks before this next part is delivered and installed. 6. Before my year warranty is expired, I want my money back. 7. It is my opinion that the electronics that are being put into these machines are too complicated and easily broken. It takes too long to deliver replacement parts. We the consumers are paying a price and while it may have started out as a reasonably priced washer the ROI for LG is going down continually.......... as is my satisfaction with LG.

        I think this is one of the best washers for the price paid. A very economical purchase and too many features to list. I reccomend it to anyone,especially if you need to do large loads.

          Best Uses

            After the service techs set the washer up they gave us a brief instructions and showed us the quick start guide. It took me about two loads to get the hang of all the features and after that I was washing everything in sight. I have only two concerns: 1) I know the machine is load sensing and washes accordingly, but I wish it had a small load setting(not just quick wash) and 2) I have been able to unbalance it at least twice when I wash a particular woven cotton blanket. It was in a regular sized load with the other bedding and was set on "bulky bedding". I believe this particular blanket soaks up more water than the other bedding and therefore is heavier on one side of the washer. I have just gotten used to washing it with the towels so it weighs the same as other items in the load. Otherwise my over all experience with this washer has been excellent and I wouldn't go back to a traditional style ever again!!

                I absolutely love this washer. The capacity to wash a large amount of clothes has saved me a ton of time. The machine is quiet and my clothes come out clean everytime. My two year old enjoys helping with the laundry as he gets to push the buttons to get the machine started. There is also a safety lock which means he can't get into the machine after it has started. Very easy to use.

                            We really like this washing machine. It holds lots of clothes - twice the amount of my previous machine. Runs quiety & has pleasant song to let you know that the load is finished.

                            This is the second one that we've owned, the first had to be replaced because the control unit burned out. We've had nothing but trouble with this product. constantly giving error codes and stops. you have to stand in front of it to make sure it works. Takes two to three days to do a single load of laundry.

                                There was no explanation I could find on the difference between "cold" and "tap water", I had to call. If I want a cold wash, I don't want hot water added to bring it up to your definition of cold. Make it Hot, Warm or Cold water wash. The other issue is that when the machine recycles for an off center load, it keeps adding more water .... what a waste of water!! I would rather the cycle was just paused until I rearranged the load manually... I was not watching the machine and a wash that should have taken 1:15 was still trying to reset the load with additional water after 2 hours.... and all I was washing was a medium-weight chenille bedspread. I tried washing it with a set of sheets but that also did not work. So now when I wash my bedspread I am forced to hover in the area to make sure everything works properly. I love the musical notes as the end alarm, instead of a nasty buzzer, but if the loud could be a little louder that would be great...

                                    I was really excited to bring home this washing machine; it was a great value for its size. However, I have had nothing but problems with it. For whatever reason it can't balance the load and starts vibrating excessively. I have even watched the "how-to" video in regards to loading this machine. Its a very nice machine and again, good value; but it is just not working for me.
