  • LG Front Load Washer--Good for the planet, but doesn't get clothes clean!

    Jul 23 '09
    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, ...

  • only lasted 2 years 7 months

    Jan 13 '12
    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 ...

    Pros: -Gets clothes clean
    -Spins them dry
    -Sanitary cycle
    -Durable as a Hilux
    Cons: -Expensive
    -Not Stackable
    -No SteamWash feature
    -Heavy
    -Gotta use HE detergent

    Summary: I bought this thing 5 years ago.  I got it cheap at Best Buy for two reasons:1. It was during the tax break week for appliances, so I paid no tax on it.2. It was an "open box" deal, which in the case of this particular unit, means that it ...

  • Front Load Washers are a Hoax!

    Sep 07 '10
    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 ...

  • Useless piece of equipment

    May 19 '10
    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 ...

  • LG . . . GOOD!

    Mar 15 '10
    Pros: Saves Water and energy
    Cons: NONE

    Summary: Love this washer and Dryer!  Bought it in April 2009 from Home Depot.  After setting it up and leveling as per instructions we immediately set to doing laundry.  It took a few loads to dial in the proper way to wash and the amount of ...

    Dec 09 '09
    Pros: Large capacity, energy/water efficient, washes well, quiet, feature-laden, price, spouse may take on laundry duty
    Cons: As with all front loaders, preventive maintenance is a must.

    Summary: Update 8/8/2010:As promised, I have elicited some feedback from my friend regarding the status of the machine at the 10 month point.All positive sentiments stated in the review are still valid.  Unfortunately, the novelty of the ...

  • My new Girlfriend !!!!!

    Apr 11 '09
    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 ...

  • Awesome machine!

    Feb 07 '09
    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), ...

  • Don't buy an LG

    Jan 08 '09
    Pros: water and energy efficient
    relatively easy to use
    Cons: reliability low
    warranty service is minimal

    Summary: I bought an LG WM0642H Front Load washer from Home Depot.  Initially, I liked the ease of use of the control panel and, of course, the water and energy efficiency.  My clothes spun almost dry, which makes the dryer more efficient. ...

  • 6 month review, great machine.

    Nov 09 '08
    Pros: Get's clothes clean. Indicates that when using the machine that energy use is $18.00/year.
    Cons: Add reminder light (w/ easy reset) to clean the filter screen once a month.

    Summary: We decided to replace our 20 year old GE washer and dryer after remodeling our laundry room.  Reviewed/researched front loaders and decided on this LG model due to it's above average customer reviews.  Bought the unit on-line from Home Depot ...

  • LG WM0642H Front Load Washer - love at first spin

    Sep 02 '08
    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 ...

  • Mold Class Action Lawsuit May 2008

    Aug 17 '08
    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 ...

  • Fantastic replacement for Calypso lemon

    Jul 13 '08
    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 ...

  • greatest washer ever

    Jun 09 '08
    Pros: Everything! It actually makes me excited about doing laundry. Cleans better, uses less water.
    Cons: More expensive than top loaders and long cycles.

    Summary: 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 ...
