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: 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: 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: water and energy efficient
relatively easy to use
Cons: reliability low
warranty service is minimal

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. ...

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.

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 ...

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: 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: Brand reliability, general performance, energy use, water use
Cons: Mold and mildew, tub does not drain fully, pending lawsuits.

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 ...

Pros: All the great features and its quietness
Cons: Having to wipe out the drum after all washing is done for the day.

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 ...

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: Looks pretty
Cons: Mold, mildew smell, takes too long to wash, shakes, even with stable footing. Total disappointment.

I am so angry about my LG. We bought it at Home Depot in Dec 2006. We had a Maytag Neptune which had a huge mold problem. I was leary of buying another front loader. However, we bought Lg because of the great review in Consumer Reports, now it is doing ...

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: 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 and efficient
Cons: None so far

We just received the LG WM0642H washer this morning and I've used it once. I did a lot of research before making the purchase because I wanted to get something good and energy efficient. Before buying I researched pros and cons and read the manual. The ...

Pros: Works Great
Cons: None so far

Excellent washer. The washer is not mounted on concrete, just a wooden floor. Initially, even with the foot adjusters set correctly, it shook significantly, and walked around the floor a little bit. You could feel the floor vibrating when it was in ...
