Customers are positive about the 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Top Load Washer's cleaning performance, quiet operation, large capacity, and ease of use. Many appreciate its ability to handle large loads and its low noise level. However, some customers are negative about the lack of a center agitator and the washer's depth, finding it difficult to reach items at the bottom. A few also noted that clothes may come out more wrinkled than with previous washers.

We just purchased this washer. It is so much better than the Maytag washer that we bought four years ago. It is very quiet, easy to use, and our clothes are much cleaner! Our daughter just came for the week, and recently bought the gas LG washer. She fell in love with this one, and is going to talk with her husband about changing it out for one just like this one. She said that the one they just purchased has more functions than she needs. We look forward to many years of useage of this LG 5.0 washer!

Great washer, but a little too deep. We love the damped lid; it closes slowly on it's own. It's very quiet and it plays a little jingle when the wash cycle has completed. Very easy to understand operating procedures. Make sure to read the manual before your first load of wash.

It took a few days to get use to the LG 5-0 top load washer without agitator using less water spinning at a much higher rate. We have had the washer for 3 weeks now and no longer notice the extra noise from the higher spinning speed. The clothes seem to be cleaner and not as beat up unlike our old washer with agitator. We paired this washer with the LG Dryer. i love the pairing because I am now able to wash loads twice the size of my old washer thus cutting time spent doing laundry. The only negative I have is that once the washer starts the lid locks and I can no longer rinse the detergent cup without going to the sink but that is not anything negative towards the functioning of the washer.
