Pros: Quiet, uses less water and energy.
Cons: Doesn't clean clothes as well as conventional washer, takes longer per cycle.
Summary: I've put off writing this review for a long time. Not because I wasn't sure about what to write, but because I wasn't sure I WAS right. It seemed like everything I read about front loading washers indicated they got clothes cleaner with less soap, water, ... read more

Pros: uses less water. More eco friendly
Cons: Its broken after 2.7 years, does not get clothes clean, mildew!
Summary: Purchased this washer in 2009. Started having problems 5 months ago, called LG and advised me to put spin cycle on "high" only because it was not spinning well. Finally gave out today. Loud griding sounds for the past months and washer does not spin on ... read more

Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: SMELLY CLOTHES
Summary: I too have had many problems with my LG front load washer. Purchased in 2004, the first year this mfgr. made front-loading washers, I had never heard of the "smelly clothes" problem. From what I can tell, ALL front-loaders have this design ... read more

Pros: Quiet operation. Liked the appearance and options.
Cons: Smelly clothes (Design flaw), Bad bad customer service.
Summary: I bought this washer because it had all the options I was looking for. I liked the high speed spin cycle because it reduced the amount of time needed to dry the laundry. I also thought since LG was fairly new to the appliance business that they may have ... read more

Pros: Extreme washing efficiency, clean smelling clothes, nice control panel layout.
Cons: Some routine maintenance required, must carefully read manual
Summary: Bought this washer about 3 weeks ago from a Major Retailer and posted my comments on their site, but they didn't have the guts to post it cause I always try to keep it 'real' for the rest of us and I guess they couldn't handle it so I'm trying this ... read more

Pros: Quiet, large capacity, energy efficient, many cycles to choose from, plays a tune when done.
Cons: Cannot add clothes once it starts.
Summary: This is a fantastic washing machine! It literally has all the bells and whistles. It is very energy efficient in that it uses much less water than the old top load style, but the wash time is much longer (most are about one hour), ... read more

Pros: Cleans great, quiet, easy to use
Cons: Slight vibration - but can be fixed
Summary: This is a long review, but it should be very helpful. Our previous top loading washer was still working OK, but it was time for a "green" change. My stepson bought an LG washer & dryer (different model than this) and said it was ... read more

Pros: Multiple cycles, express wash, delayed start, child lock.
Cons: None
Summary: I was in love with my 10 year old Kenmore washer when it died unexpectedly about a week ago. After mourning it for about an hour, I started researching new machines (fixing the Kenmore would be about a $300-$500 expense so I decided the money was better ... read more

Pros: Brand reliability, general performance, energy use, water use
Cons: Mold and mildew, tub does not drain fully, pending lawsuits.
Summary: Sure it's a top rated "quick pick" on Consumer Reports, but they only tested it for a few weeks in the lab. The real world shows this model has a mold problem. The general consensus is that this is a great washer, as long as you don't put in too ... read more

Pros: All the great features and its quietness
Cons: Having to wipe out the drum after all washing is done for the day.
Summary: This washing machine is absolutely wonderful! We have been suffering for several years with a lemon washing machine - the awful Calypso - ugh! - and finally settled on a brand new replacement washing machine - this LG model. We did a lot of shopping ... read more
