    Pros: Energy Star rating
    Cons: Can't clean clothes if you paid it. What am I thinking, I am paying it.

    Summary: We purchased this machine to replace our 30 year old Maytag. Why, I'll never know. If you're looking for an energy star product this may be your machine. However, if you prefer to have clean clothes look elsewhere. They get their energy star rating by ... read more

    Pros: very quiet,
    large load capacity,
    easy on the hot water heater
    Cons: comparatively expensive,
    no hot water wash cycle,
    LG un-responsive to problem

    Summary: I am sorry I bought this washer and do not recommend it. There is a hot wash cycle on the control board but it means nothing, the water is lukewarm at best. At first I thought I just got a lemon and had the washer replaced with a new one. Same result, no ... read more

    Pros: Cleans great, large tub, HE Top Loader
    Cons: none so far

    Summary: After researching for quite a awhile I came up with this washer and the matching dryer as our choice. I would say easily 80% of reviews are very positive which is almost a rarity today. Even the majority of so called bad reviews are complaining about ... read more

    Summary: I have had this washer for 2 years. It has torn the zipper pulls off 2 fleece jackets and made another fleece jacket unuseable because of damage to the zipper.  I agree with complaints about the hot water.  I have  shut

    Pros: Slick Look
    Cons: Unreliable junk, poor/no LG customer service

    Summary: My washer failed after 22 months of use. After a month of playing around with LG and 4 separate service trips to my home, my washer was deemed unrepairable and I got rid of it. LG still wanted ALL of the parts replaced to be replaced a second time, my

    Pros: None other than it's pretty
    Cons: No warm or hot water.  Poor customer service.  Piece of junk.

    Summary: First set-washer looks, sounds beautiful.  No hot water.  Warm water is exactly the same as the cold water = ICE COLD.  Had repair man out, nothing wrong with machine.  He told me it's the new technology.  Why have a warm water

  • piece of crap

    Pros: It looks good.  The cycle options look good.
    Cons: Does not clean clothes.  Can do better by hand.

    Summary: This washer is brand new.  Clothes do not completely "cyle" through the water.  I've had to stop the cycle and rearrange the clothes just to make it spit a little more water in and actually get the clothes wet.  Lighter clothing floats to

  • finish scratches

    Mar 16, 2011
    Pros: Does a great job washing
    Cons: Finish on the lid is awful!

    Summary: I've had my machine around two weeks. I'm very, very happy with the job it does cleaning. However, there are scratches all over the lid of my machine, only on the part that supposed to be silver. I haven't put anything on there that could have done it,

  • VERY pleased, excellent washer

    Pros: Plays tune when it's done, like Batman and Robin playing the flute from the 1960s
    Cons: Can't download new "finished" tones. Would love a "Harry Potter" laundry melody.

    Summary: This machine is COOL. It wasn't pricey, and I can't think of anything I wish it did that it doesn't do. It cleans well and doesn't damage clothing. And this may be a weird thing to say about a danged washing machine, but...it's kinda fun to watch.

  • I Really Love My Washer

    Aug 23, 2010
    Pros: Capacity, Style, Performance
    Cons: Dumbdowned water temps; spin at 1100rpms for 1 minute

    Summary: I received my washer on 8/21/10.  I really love my washer.  It uses enough water, holds a lot of clothes and performs flawlessly.  It really gets clothes clean.  It uses an impeller that sloshes the clothes back and forth.
