LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Front-Loading Washer - White

We purchased this washer approx. 1.5 months ago along with the dryer and find that it's great and meets all our washing needs. The machine is super quiet. It does have what can only be described as a "hissing" sound when the water is being pumped into the clothes but is normal. The spin speed is great. The "Turbo Spin" cycle is fantastic for getting almost all the water from large loads of towels, jeans, etc.. For more delicate clothes I would not recommend the Turbo Spin cycle as it will twist some clothes. When I found the proper cycle for the specific load I had in the machine, this problem was corrected. The "Direct Drive" is fantastic as it makes it more quiet. This machine does adjust itself before spinning as to not have lopsided spinning. The chime at the end of the washing cycle can be turned to high, medium, low or off. I found that low was great. The machine lights up at the end of its washing and chiming to allow you to see the clothes in the tub while taking them out and not forgetting anything in it. I had a Whirlpool washer prior to this one and as with all these washer types, you "should" wipe out the front glass and seal after each use so as to minimize any possible mold that could accumulate. I myself even remove the Soap, Softener, Bleach tray and wipe that out as I learned with my Whirlpool that mold DOES grow eventually if this is not done. This is minor for me, but some may not enjoy doing it. The front door should remain OPEN after use until fully dried out and this machine has a magnetic thing that holds the door very close to the machine verses swinging openly as with our old Whirlpool. I had forgotten how fresh clothes can smell until I got this new one. This machine does have a drain cabinet in the lower bottom left corner which has it's own little hose that pulls out and a filter which should be cleaned out about every 3 to 6 months depending on it's usage. There is always a little water that remains in the soap dispenser which the manual says is normal and that is why I take the extra moment to empty and wipe dry to avoid that mold issue that could develop. It uses very little water yet certainly enough for extremely clean clothes. I love the way the water sprays into the machine from both sides verses just one area as with our old machine. I downloaded the manual before purchasing to "learn" before I chose to buy. The drawback of "Stacking" this washer is that the stacking kit is simply a silver metal bracket. It works but when the washer is on the spin cycle, the dryer WILL shake a bit. This would not be a problem if this machine isn't stacked. The hoses that come with the washer are only 4 feet so if you are not close to your water source you will need to purchase a longer one as we had to do.

This was installed a few weeks ago, so I've only done several loads. Pleased with the performance thus far; superior to my old top loader. On a mixed load of clothes it did well and spun fast. Ditto on a medium sized load of towels. I washed a king size down comforter w/ 5 lbs of down. It filled the drum while dry. Washing went fine, but during the low speed spin cycle the washer and stacked dryer shook quite a bit, although the UE uneven load light didn't come on & the machine finished up the cycle normally. Still it was a concern, but since its rare that something like a large comforter is getting washed I'm not worried.

My wife has been bugging me for a new washing machine lately, so I decided to surprise her with a new one. She really wanted a front loader, which I've heard mixed reviews about, so I really did my homework to find the right one. I've heard great things about the LG's and most of the reviews confirmed what I was hearing. Glad I purchased this LG washing machine, my wife absolutely loves it. There are many wash cycles to choose from, but more importantly the "hand wash cycle" was a must for my wife. A lot of her clothing is hand wash only. The washer is so quiet we forget it's even running sometimes. Compared to our old washer, our clothes look, smell and feel much cleaner with the new washer. This washer has all the "bells & whistles" not to mention the cool LED lighting. Overall it was a great purchase thus far, I can't get my wife out of the laundry room and my clothes are always clean. Win, win for the both of us lol.

Man I don't even hear my washer when it's working. I can watch a suspenseful movie and the suspense never breaks! The chime makes laundry fun, the light is amazing and the color is just freaking cool. Oh and it does great as far as water effienciency. Very pleased.

My wife and I have had a few washers over the years. They have always been the top load, with the last being a popular brand with the HE detergent. They all had issues with randomly draining the tub, leaving the clothes soaked or leaving the clothes soapy. This one has been fantastic. Its in our living area and unless its on the super wash (turbo wash?) setting, you can't hear the thing. Clothes come out fairly dry, letting the dryer be more efficient, since clothes aren't dripping of water when we load them to be dried. It's a fairly attractive unit as well. Only down side is the LG Washer App. It lets you download custom wash cycles. Would have been nice if it did something useful, like notify you how much time is left or if the cycle is complete.

We purchased this LG front loader 4 months ago. Our previous front loader was 14 years old, so many of the LG settings are different - and save time with shorter cycle times. There has been a bit of a learning curve involving proper settings and detergent amount, but nothing too complicated. We find our queen-size sheets spin better on the bulky load setting, compared to the cotton or permanent press settings. And, the delicate cycle uses less HE detergent than the delicate cycle of our previous washer, which of course, is a good thing. The ability to turn on the drum light during any cycle is very useful, especially during our learning curve with the delicate cycle. We live in an area with extreme hard water and maintain the washer using the Tub Clean cycle every three weeks with Glisten Washer Magic. We also dry off the door, gasket and soap dispenser drawer after the last wash of the day. This routine is working well with eliminating any hard water residue. We have no regrets with our purchase and found shopping with Best Buy to be a very good experience.

Picked this up over the Memorial Day weekend. It is quiet, works well and has all the features I need. I have used LG models in the past and have been very reliable, so I expect this will be no different. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you the installer properly balances the unit, I made the mistake of moving mine slightly and it increased the noise A LOT. If it is properly installed, it is a very quiet unit.

Washes really well. Vibration and noise for a few seconds at the beginning of the spin cycle but only with large loads, which goes away. I assume this is due to uneven loads. The machine needs to be perfectly leveled on solid ground to reduce vibration and noise. Otherwise the noise level is ok...you can watch tv without even knowing the machine is running. The other thing I didn't like that much was the display is not easy to see ...we had to install brighter lights in the washroom which helped a bit. Overall I think its a great machine but does have little room for improvements. I would like to have absolutely no noise regardless of load size...but thats just me being a perfectionist.
