LG - 4.9 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washer

I like all of the different options and that it's electronic

I absolutely LOVE this washer! I will admit, I'm old school, I was not excited about going without the agitator or about going to a high efficiency machine because I have heard horror stories! I am so glad that I was able to get past that because this set is wonderful! Myth #1 about the new washers, "You can't add anything to the load once it has started because the lid locks" BUSTED! The start button is also a pause button! Hit pause, the lid unlocks and you can throw in that sock you just found on the floor! Myth #2: "HE Washers take like FOREVER to wash your clothes!" This one is only partially true, yes, it does take longer than the old ones, but the dryer takes half the time thanks to the awesome spin cycle!! I mean the clothes come out nearly dry after the spin! So if you buy the set you will still be doing laundry in pretty much the same amount of time that you did before! Myth #3: "HE Washers don't use enough water!" This one really had me worried, but thanks to LG putting the glass lid on the washer, you can see for yourself that not only do the clothes get wet enough, they really get moved around! I never expected a washer without an agitator to move the clothes around as much as this one does! WOW! Myth #4: "HE Washers just don't clean as well" Yeah, this one is not true either! I mean, we don't roll around in mud every day, we just have normal wear, but our cloths come out clean and super fresh every time! I highly recommend this set! I'm so glad I was able to talk my husband into getting it!

This washer is huge! One concern that I had after reading other reviews was that this washer wouldn't use enough water...I can say that is absolutely not the case on our unit. The clothes are covered and appear to easily move around during agitation. The movement in the basin ranges from very gentle to really aggressive. I've had this for about a month and done all kinds of washes and used most of the settings--all work as advertised, come out smelling fresh all with using very little detergent and just the right amount of water. We have not yet had any balance issues as others have noted. The unit is level and we have run very large loads of towels and blankets without problems. Really happy about this purchase.
