  • I'm Saving 'Loads' Of Money

    Aug 25 '09
    Pros: Large sizes, excellent manual, buzzer, stackable, steam, gentle on clothes, spins dry, money saver
    Cons: Long wash times, mildew if not careful, slight vibration on high speeds

    Summary: I'd never bought an LG product before.  I looked at consumer reports and many other places and websites trying to find the right one for me.  I was replacing a washer dryer that was 25 years old, so anything is an improvement, but I wanted to ... read more

  • LG WM 2487H Front Load Washer

    Feb 27 '12
    Pros: Many cycles and extra features, uses minimal laundry soap, & clothes require less drying.
    Cons: The machine saves some water, but don't expect miracles if clothes are highly soiled.

    Summary: I have had this model washer since 1/09/07 and have not had any problems with it. I like the machine and would buy it again. I am a wheelchair user and need a front loading machine and LG's machines have the most features and best quality of any front ... read more

  • HORRIBLE, SMELLY AND DANGEROUS!

    Aug 02 '11
    Pros: none that make up for the moldy smell
    Cons: Smelly, high maintenance and horrible customer service. 

    Summary: i purchased my WM2487 front loader 2 years ago from PC Richards on 14th street in NYC. After a few months I called LG because I noticed that both my machine and my clothing smelled moldy. They told me that I had to do weekly maintenance, buy special ... read more

  • Stinky Clothes

    Jun 18 '09
    Pros: It has a large tub. Runs quietly.  It has a large variety of cycle options.
    Cons: A high maintenance machine. If your clothes don't stink now they soon will. 

    Summary: Our clothes stink!  We’ve owned our LG front loader since May 2007.  And for two years we’ve been battling it out with LG customer service. We were told to place three cups of bleach directly in the tub and run the sanitize ... read more

  • Mixed Bag

    Jun 15 '09
    Pros: Ultra quiet, steam cleaning, hand wash setting, coin catcher, adjustable chimes, adjustable programs
    Cons: Occasional mildew odor on clothes if no steam cleaning or maintenance performed.

    Summary: We've had this washer for 2 years now and were initially floored by its great performance. As time went by however, an unpleasant "feature" of this model began creeping into frequency. Occasionally, a load of laundry would develop a faint odor along the ... read more

  • LG Steam Washer model WM2487H*MA

    Mar 10 '09
    Pros: washes BIG loads like bedding; low water usage;  cleans clothes well
    Cons: pricey; has so many options it takes a while to learn all of them

    Summary:      Our old top loading washer bit the dust.  We researched online for a front loading washer with high marks and decided on this one.  Then we called all around the city to get the best deal.  Home Depot had the ... read more

  • "Lemon" does not describe this machine

    Jan 31 '09
    Pros: They look good.
    Cons: If clean, fresh smelling clothes are your objective, DO NOT BUY these products!!!

    Summary: I bought the LG Tromn washer & dryer with pedestals almost a year ago. They are the worst pieces of junk I have ever owned. My 35 year old Maytags finally bit the dust, so I did extensive research on buying replacements knowing Maytag was no longer ... read more

  • So far, we are very happy with the LG 2487...

    Jan 27 '09
    Pros: Easy to use

    Attractive

    Effective
    Cons: Requires more basic maintanance than the old style top loader.

    Summary: The washer is VERY quiet. It could be run in your bedroom while you sleep and you would not likely wake up. It is very easy to use and intuitive. The laundry comes out feeling "differant" from our old top load maytag set. It feels like it has less ... read more

  • You gotta have one of these

    Oct 03 '08
    Pros: Large capacity; great looking; uses little water; lot of options to choose from
    Cons:

    Allergiene and Sanitary cycles take about 2 hours to complete


    Summary: I bought this washer and dryer for my wife as a gift. We both graduated from The University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks) :) so we loved the garnet color. We needed a new washing machine and dryer because our old washing machine wouldn't spin out ... read more

  • Best money you'll every spend

    Sep 26 '08
    Pros: An investment worth every penny! Washes well with little water comsumption. Go get one today!
    Cons: Difficult to balance since basement floor slopes slightly. Legs were not long enough.

    Summary: This is the best washer & dryer set I have ever owned! Yes, it is expensive but I have no regrets. LG and Korean manufacturers are really giving the Japanese and other asian mfg's a run for their money these days! LG (Lucky Goldstar or Life's ... read more

  • DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE

    Aug 29 '08
    Pros: None
    Cons: Mold, Stinky, Top of Machine rusts after a year

    Summary: I have been reading and relying on epinion reviews for years. I got this one wrong. I have had the LG WM2487H machine for over a year. I had a Maytag front loader before the LG thinking there has got to be some washer out there that does not smell. ... read more

  • Beautiful and Functional

    Jul 25 '08
    Pros: Beautiful, Efficient, Easy to use
    Cons: Price

    Summary: I've been using these for a couple of weeks now. First, they look beautiful. Do I need beautiful appliances? Apparently I do :-) My husband was totally freaked out by the controls on this (despite being there and picking them out with me). Once I ... read more

  • Happy Customer

    Jul 18 '08
    Pros: Sleek, modern look. Performs well.
    Cons: Nothing major -- all cons noted in the review.

    Summary: I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this washer. Some had complained of a mildew smell that would not go away -- others stated that they left the door cracked after the cycle to allow it to dry out. I took this advice and have had no problem. ... read more

  • Great washing machine!

    Jun 30 '08
    Pros: Everything.
    Cons: I haven't found any yet.

    Summary: When my old washing machine stopped working we went to Sears and bought the LG Steam Washer and matching dryer. I had to have the wild cherry color because it is striking. They take up way less space in my laundry room than the previous appliances and ... read more

  • wonderfully quiet, but nasty mold problem

    Jun 18 '08
    Pros: quiet, beautiful appearance, lots of options
    Cons: long cycles, nasty smell

    Summary: We finally bought the washer of our dreams and could not have been happier for some months. We found it a very quiet machine with beautiful coloring, many options, and pleasant tones for notifying cycle completions. However, after owning the unit for ... read more
