  • LG TROMM HE Washer - I'm in Heaven!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 16, 2006
    Pros: Very easy to use, gentle on clothes, steam fresh.
    Cons: Price, can't change door to open in other direction.

    Summary: We recently purchased this HE washing machine and a dryer. We bought a stacking kit because the washer door opens on the wrong side for our laundry room and would get in the way of getting clothes to the dryer. Since I am home with a new baby and ... read more

  • Unbelievable Odor

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 14, 2011
    Pros: It's cute
    Cons: Bad smell, too noisy, vibrates too much and falls apart due to the excessive vibrations/shakes.

    Summary: When we purchased our home I initially had to go to the laundry to clean our clothes at the end of each week.  We purchased an LG TROMM (WM2277HS) not long after moving into our new home.  I started noticing some time after that the machine had ... read more

  • No more moldy smell!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 4, 2009
    Pros: A clean machine!
    Cons: It was really a pain to finally get results.

    Summary: I recently bought a used LG Tromm washer and dryer from a neighbor.  She bought it 2 years ago but moved and it's been sitting in her garage for a year because the house she moved into already had one.  She said she had no problems but I knew ... read more

  • You get what you pay for

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 18, 2009
    Pros: High Efficient
    Quitest ever
    Steam for Suits
    Cleanest Clothes ever
    Clothes finish close to dry
    Cons: Hypnotic spin cycle
    Can spin too fast-lose buttons
    Can become addictive

    Summary: My wife and I got the LG Steam washer (Blue porcelain) with LCD screen about two years ago.  I would have settled for the white steam model as the steam function is what I was focused on.  However, the store was out of the matching white dryer, ... read more

  • Spend Your Money on a Maytag!!!!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 12, 2009
    Pros: None
    Cons: Doesn't work

    Summary: I bought this washer & dryer 2 years ago to celebrate a big raise I had gotten at work.  My old set, which was a Maytag and that I'd had for around 15 years, was too small for my growing family.  This set was the top of the line at the ... read more

  • Great Unit

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 6, 2009
    Pros: Less electricity usage, less water usage, cleaner clothes, quiet.
    Cons: Vibration, filter drain maint, open door for ventilation.

    Summary: We've had the washer and dryer now for about 2 weeks. Got a great deal on them at RC Willey, both washer and dryer with 2 pedestals and remote for $2200 with 18 month 0% interest. I've read all the reviews about it and all the problems that some ... read more

  • Love this LG Front Loader

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 14, 2009
    Pros: CLEAN, QUIET, Doesn't break the back!!!
    Cons: My old dog barks at the beeper/music.

    Summary: I just got this LG Frontload Washer last month, and LOVE IT!!!!  I have always had trouble cleaning those "monthly" stains with other washers and after using many stain applications the other top load washers would just never clean ... read more

  • If you want an accurate review of the LG WM2688 Washer Read This Review

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 10, 2009
    Pros: It looks sleek, clean, and modern and it does clean on the steam wash cycle
    Cons: Causes fabric damage and holes in clothes, doesn't remove pet hair, excessive vibration and noise

    Summary: I purchased the LG Steam Washer in July of 2007.  I had jumped in early in 1999 with the first round of front loaders with the Maytag Neptune. That machine was a huge  waste of money. The first models had major mildew and mold buildups ... read more

  • LG Tromm is a Waste of Money

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 20, 2008
    Pros: Clothes did get clean
    Cons: Wears out clothes. Laundry smells. Cost. Door not reversible. Sounds like jet engine. Too big.

    Summary: This bulky oversized waste of money (and its dryer counterpart) is going back to the store. Picture this: You spend weeks sorting through the consumer reports and the hype about this "top rated" washer and dryer. You compare it with the others. You buy ... read more

  • Totally worth the money so far!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 6, 2008
    Pros: Quiet, efficient, looks great, extracts most water from clothes for drying.
    Cons: Pricey, and that's it.

    Summary: After much consternation and research (probably research overkill), I decided to purchase the LG Steamwasher (wm2688hnma, newest model with allergen cycle). Our 20 year old $200 GE washer we bought when we were first married still worked, but that is ... read more

  • Gone in 90 Days: LG Steam Washer Navy (See Updates)

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 21, 2007
    Pros: When LG works, it works well.
    Cons: Total failure after 90 days.

    Summary: See Updates Posted at bottom for additional info! I thoroughly reviewed all available info before making this purchase as I had been disappointed with a costly Maytag mistake. Though LG is new to the U.S. Market, their reputation seemed reasonably ... read more

  • Superb washer, but noisy on upper floors

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 29, 2007
    Pros: High-efficiency; cleans wonderfully; virtually silent except during spin cycles; easy to use; fascinating to watch!
    Cons: Expensive; spin cycle creates a LOT of vibration on upper floors.

    Summary: This washer does everything it promises and does them well. The dirtiest clothes and towels come out feeling and smelling clean, the washer is incredibly easy to use, and it uses much less water than traditional washers. It's one advanced appliance, ... read more

  • Don't even think about it

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 25, 2007
    Pros: Like the BMW, smooth fast precise, but in the laundry world. It's still all that!
    Cons: It's deeper than most machines, make sure to measure your space

    Summary: This is the greatest laundry experience of my life. Very dramatic, I know, but I had never really liked doing laundry or any other kind of cleaning, and I truly enjoy it now. I have an entire workstation with folding table, drawers and magnets to hang ... read more

  • Love it...with my tips for best use

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 19, 2007
    Pros: huge capacity, super-clean clothes, sanitary cycle's GREAT
    Cons: price

    Summary: We bought the 2688H*M (white model) from Home Depot during their 10% off appliance sale. We bought the matching dryer, both with pedestals. It has taken me a while to perfect my use of this amazing machine, and I want to share what I've learned: 1. ... read more

  • Excellent washer that is well worth the money

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 9, 2007
    Pros: Super clean clothes, steam fights stains and freshens, entertaining. What more could you ask for?
    Cons: If there is one, it is price. But really, it is worth it.

    Summary: Okay. This is review number 53 for this product, so I won't go into the horrid details of what this sucker can do. I will cover the basics. The WM2688H is one of two SteamWashers that LG makes. This one is probably what would be considered the ... read more

  • Wrinkles

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 7, 2007
    Pros: Low water use, steam, easy on clothes, variety of cycles
    Cons: wrinkles in polyesters, long wash cycles (minimum around an hour, max over 2 hours!)

    Summary: I just bought the LG Tromm steam washer and the dryer that goes with it about a month ago, and I am having a lot of trouble with polyester and poly blend clothes coming out incredibly wrinkled. My old dryer did fine, and they came out ready to wear. ... read more

  • Yep, the majority here is pretty much on point....

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 30, 2007
    Pros: cleaning quality, ease-of-operation, multiple cycles, display, steam option
    Cons: mostly, just the PRICE! Once you get past that, smooth sailing. :)

    Summary: We've had our LG Tromm Steamwasher (midnight blue) and matching dryer, inclusive of pedestals and remote laundry monitor, for a couple of months now. Got them on special (in fact, online and then arranged delivery) at a major US electronics store, which ... read more

  • Amazing washer, Stain buster

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 26, 2007
    Pros: Very gentle on cloths. Extremely good cleaning. Laundry is actually fun to do.
    Cons: Expensive, but worth every penny.

    Summary: I've had this washer for a couple of months now. I also bought the matching dryer, remote monitor, and pedestals. Simply amazing. Expensive Tommy Hilfiger shirts that I used to throw away due to stains now come perfectly clean. (Hooters hot sauce ... read more

  • The Best Washer...Period

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 15, 2007
    Pros: Clean clothes, quick drying, the most options and the quietest machine on the market.
    Cons: Long wash cycles (worth it because of the clean clothes).

    Summary: I have had the matching set of LG's high end Steam Washer and Dryer for two months and I am here to squash all of the rumors and negative reviews. This machine does it all and does it all well. My expectations have been surpassed. To start, the ... read more

  • Good, but not as good as I had hoped for the $

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 10, 2007
    Pros: Front loading: the way to wash laundry, bar none. Fantastic capacity. Gets water HOT.
    Cons: I wish it wasn't so noisy when it spins. I'd like a soak setting. Pricy.

    Summary: I've had three front loading machines in three different homes in the last 7 years: Maytag, Kenmore Elite HE3 and now LG. In my opinion, the LG is no better or worse than the Kenmore Elite, but costs more. Before purchasing, I read reviews on how quiet ... read more

    Aug 1, 2007
    Pros: Looks sharp(blue), pedestals are great!! Neat functions.
    Cons: Breaks, shakes!!!!, stinks and isn't the best value :(

    Summary: Good review... I have a top of the line LG washer and dryer, love the color (blue), love the features and the pedestals...but I'm afraid of what is going to happen when the warranty runs out, why?? Because I've had my service guy out 4 times to ... read more
