- Key Specs
- Color Finish: Black
- Product Height: 43 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 27 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)

- Height With Door Open: 57 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 5.3 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
- Agitator Type: Quad-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)

Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer with 4-Way® Agitator, EasyUnload™ with TurboWash™ 3D Technology& AI Sensing, Model # WT8405CW.

You can even get an alert on your smartphone when it’s time to refill, This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. For proper wash performance, you should always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. You will need to use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads, and use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer...^Ivan.

Great washing machine
Great Washing machine!! Got this with the matching dryer when they were on sale for just a little more $$ than buying new cheap units. Coming from a cheap 10 year old GE set these are faster, quieter and smart! Well worth stepping up in cost. I connected to the LG ThinQ app and get notifications on my phone when laundry is done. Although I mostly use the normal settings, they are customizable and you can even download different settings to the unit through the app. You can even customize the built in settings if you choose to make them a little different. For example Normal is defaulted to use warm water but my wife prefers cold so I was able to change the normal setting to use cold instead without needing to change this setting every wash. It is connected to the dryer for an AI feature where it can supposedly detect the fabric type, use appropriate settings then give a recommended settings to the dryer but I have not tried it out yet. It is very good at sensing, measuring and monitoring the load to use the correct amount of water and soap without you needing to select that yourself. It is ridiculous quiet, so much so you can barely hear it spinning yet it spins so fast the clothes are barely damp when ready for the dryer. Very efficient. Even though it’s almost the same size as the old cheap washer it holds A LOT more. For size, style, price, performance and features these were in our sweet spot vs other brands. I have been a fan of LG for a long time for TVs and other electronics so had no reservation giving their appliances a try. We have been so impressed we will be looking at LG appliances for our kitchen renovation too.

Poor installation
Just had both washer and dryer installed. Unfortunately the dryer vent hose kit was not secured to the dryer, but just placed in position. Also the vent was smashed a bit due to them placing it into position. The power cord to the dryer was not secured properly to the dryer and was free hanging. Only noticed because it got warm in the washroom while the tech said to run it for the first time to burn off any oils, by than they had left.

Good top load option with an agitator
Coming from a front load washer I was nervous of what I heard about top loaders being harsh on clothes and whatnot but I can say this has been a great purchase! The ease of use with the app feature is amazing and being able to track when to clean and schedule washes has been great. The look and style is nice and haven’t had an issue yet. It does suck with energy saving washers that most cycles automatically use the least amount of water but there are features to make sure you get the right amount and can really get those dirty clothes clean. I’ve slowly been switching my appliances over to LG and life is good.
