Very happy. Recommend.
Many features that I am not sure I will need, but they are there for sure. I like that it is about a cubic foot bigger than my 25 year old model, yet it is about the same footprint. I went back to a top loader. I got tired of seeing the black marks on the gasket of my old unit and constantly having to check to see if the door had been accidentally bumped shut. I had forgotten about reaching over the front of the machine to grab a sock or pair of underwear from the bottom so I keep a grabber handy. I have not used the grabber yet and also have not bruised any ribs, but it is a big deep stainless steel tub so I am being careful. I was able to easily wash a thick and heavy full sized comforter as well as smaller and normal loads. It weighs everything when you select your cycle, close the lid and press start. I liked having a flat surface to hold my detergent, dryer sheets etc on, so I bought a narrow tiered cart that fits between the washer and matching LG dryer, and that works for me in lieu of the flat surface on my old front loader. My washer and matching dryer fits in an alcove, so I had to be mindful of the space. With the dryer needing to be on the left, I was able to have them reverse the door for free with the plan I bought. Install was free as well. My hookups are on the opposite side than most machines are set up for. It is easy to transfer the clothing from the LG washer to the LG dryer, because the dryer door opens two ways, to the side and also down. I like the pleasant alert chimes that these machines make. I hope to get many years out of this pair. In 25 years of my Maytag washer, I had to have the washer’s circuit board replaced one time. I am hoping this washer is as problem free. In my photos you see a hole that needs patching. We needed to replace the shut off valve behind the washer, in fact Best Buy had to leave the machine and complete the install after I hired a plumber. The old valve would not shut the water off completely. Under my protection plan Best Buy rescheduled quickly and did not charge for a second trip. The steam feature hose from the dryer connects there as well. Also, my dryer is gas. The original owners had an electric dryer so there is a 220 outlet not being used in the pictures.

Excellent
Very quiet machine, cleans my clothes perfectly, it’s not too deep but has amazing capacity, and the sanitization feature is very convenient as well. The app features are also very helpful in keeping up with machine cleaning and maintenance. Best washer I’ve ever had

Amazing laundry set
Ive only had this for less then two weeks. I absolutely love it. Prior to purchasing I was going back and forth from Samsung and LG. I read so many reviews on both. I just decided on LG newst 7900 series model. I have washed several loads just to wash. Speed was is just that about 30 mins. With this wash you need very little detergent because it gives you very little water. Its for a few items. Ive used normal wash, deep wash, bedding, towels etc. you have to get to know the wash options. The bad reviews I say they are doing something wrong. Plus I dont care how big the tub is I never fill mine up with a lot of clothes. To me no washer should. Also, ive called LG a million times to just ask questions. They to have great customer service. I even got to speak to someone via live video and they went over the wash options with me and answered all my questions. Ny clothes have never felt so clean. I was very happy after washing. Love the little tone it plays when you are done washing. LG has a warranty promotion going on, if you link your washer to LG Thinq app they will give you an extra year warranty for free. Same with dryer. I could go on and on about the washer. On to the dryer. The dryer dries really fast. Love it. It also plays a sound when clothes are done. Love how the dryer door opens downward half way and outward. Thinq app if you link your washer to your dryer, its called smart pairing. When yiu are done washing, then load your clothes in the dryer turn on dryer you will hear the small tones play and your dryer is already set on the options needed for drying. No need to select any options on dryer because the was will tell the dryer what settings was used on washer. Thinq app is the best has so much information on it. Diagnosis any washer or dryer issyes, tells you when to clean washer or clean filters. Per LG you should only use HE laundry detergent and a little goes a long way. When using HE you wont see bubbles unless you used way to much. Thats the point of HE. But for all who gave bad reviews, i say needs to learn their washer and how impeller machines work. No regrets. Love my LG 7900 series set. One last thing looking at the black steel in the store didnt look like black steel until I got it hone. In the store it looked like a copper/brown color. Hope all this helps the next person. Happy washing.

Very good washing machine
Have had for a few weeks now replaced a 13 year old Lg washer. So far very happy with washer, cleans clothes very well. No problems with anything getting tangled together. Run very quiet but spins everything really good so they are not too wet after cycle is done.

WT7900HWA LG TOP LOAD WASHER
We are EXTREMELY happy with our choice of washing machines. We do MAYBE 2 or 3 loads a week. Saves in so many ways; electric, water, my husband from running up and down the stairs to check on it. I'm disabled so he has to bring up too. This machine cost a bit more but it has an app to tell him when it's done. It has many preset settings depending on what fabrics and heavy loads or delicates, etc. It is VERY deep so anyone under 5'5"may need a stool or grab tool. It washes very well.
