LG WM0642H Front Load Washer

Pros: Quiet, uses less water and energy.
Cons: Doesn't clean clothes as well as conventional washer, takes longer per cycle.

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, ...

Pros: Cleaner clothes, easy to operate, quality, price compared to other front loaders
Cons: None

I am big on researching, researching and doing even more research before I purchase any given product. I took a big leap and bought the LG WMO642H front load washing machine without finding any reviews out on this particular LG model. I narrowed it down ...

Pros: Cleans great, large number of washing options, is a high-efficiency model, good value.
Cons: It does sit a little low and accessing the front-load hatch does require some bending.

Background We bought this washer (with matching dryer - DLE0442W) in April 2007. We needed to replace our older Kenmore Calypso washer and matching dryer. Our old dryer was still functioning, but the Calypso washer was having numerous ...

Pros: GREAT dryer. No pros for the washer.
Cons: See review.

I bought this washer just over a year ago and noticed immediately that my clothes weren't getting thoroughly rinsed or even very clean. Everyone's first question was whether I was using the proper detergent in the correct amount which after a while ...

Pros: Quiet, large capacity, energy efficient, many cycles to choose from, plays a tune when done.
Cons: Cannot add clothes once it starts.

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), ...

Pros: Quiet, Cleans great, Easy to use, Energy Star Efficient
Cons: None

After much research, we chose this washer to replace our 7 year old Maytag Atlantis which died. I was a little nervous about purchasing an LG product as we have never in the past. I spent probably 2 weeks going to the stores and online researching, ...

Pros: Multiple cycles, express wash, delayed start, child lock.
Cons: None

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 ...

Pros: Excellent value, huge capacity, ease of use, energy and water efficiency
Cons: So far: None

After months of research and reading the valued opinions on this site I finally selected the LG brand washer model WM0642HW front loading washer. Got it delivered Saturday and by Sunday night I was searching for more laundry to do! I compared various ...

Pros: Cleans great, quiet, easy to use
Cons: Slight vibration

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 ...

Pros: front loader saves water, detergent, electricity, dryer electricity, Has stainless steel drum and good warranty
Cons: No hot water heater, since LG is new, parts are probably hard to find

I love my washing machine. I have completed 20 loads in it and the clothes come out drier and cleaner compared to a top loader. The machine uses less detergent and water, so it takes getting used to. Because it is a front loader, we will probably be ...

Pros: Everything! It actually makes me excited about doing laundry. Cleans better, uses less water.
Cons: More expensive than top loaders and long cycles.

I bought this after reviewing opinions on the internet and checking consumer reports. I have been very happy with it. The clothes are cleaner than I have ever seen. They seem to rinse multiple times during the cycle. I was always concerned with my old ...

Pros: Clothes are clean and fresh. Quiet.
Cons: MUST use HE detergent. Use ONLY recommended amount, if you use more,washer will LEAK.

I am very happy with this washer. I am disabled and doing laundry with this washer has saved me a lot of time and trips up and down the stairs. The only problem is that it is a little low to the floor, but we will be purchasing the matching pedestals & ...

Pros: Quiet and holds large loads.
Cons: No sanitary wash if that's important to you.

I really checked all over the internet for reviews about this washer. I even subscribed to consumer reports to get an unbiased opinion. I originally thought I would get a Whirlpool duet but the they are so pricey. I also wanted to get a U.S. made ...

Pros: Extreme washing efficiency, clean smelling clothes, nice control panel layout.
Cons: Some routine maintenance required, must carefully read manual

 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 ...

Pros: Uses very little water, modest vibration, easy to use
Cons: Longish wash cycle, untested brand name

I bought this machine at Best Buy a month ago. I've washed about 15 loads with it. I did not consult with epinions before buying a front loader. It's probably a good thing, I would have been scared off. I live in a three-story townhome, and my ...
