Customers are impressed with the large capacity, excellent cleaning performance, and quiet operation of the 5.2 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Top-Loading Washer. Many appreciate its ease of use and the spacious tub. However, some customers noted the absence of a center agitator and occasional balance issues. A few also mentioned that the price point was higher than expected.

My wife and I were replacing a washer and dryer from 15 years of service and after some browsing at the big box stores and Best Buy we decided to go for these at Best Buy ( we have owned them for 3 months now). The first thing we noticed was how big the drum is! What would take 3 loads of towels now only take 1! We used probably about 50% less detergent (be sure to use liquid HE soap) and our clothes are cleaner than they have ever been!! Keep in mind there is no agitator and it works better!!! It's also very quiet (not silent) but we can leave the laundry room door open and forget it's running! There are a ton of cycles although we use "normal", "bedding" mostly and also "towels" as noted before. One thing to consider is the companion app for ISO is not compatible yet...I asked LG about that and they said they are working on it...We'll see. Not sure what the app would tell me but I like data so water usage ect would be nice to know. Also it uses a lot less water... the water barely covers the clothes which freaked us out a bit. It has a water plus mode which adds more water but we let it do its thing without that feature on and as I said before the clothes have never been cleaner! Overall we are super happy with the washer and the matching dryer. I just hope it holds up with all the tech inside it. It should also be noted that Consumer Reports gave it a great review! We did not know that at the time of the purchase and saw it later on LG's website. I Highly recommend!

This LG washing machine is the best washer I've ever owned! It the only truely quiet new washing machine I've owned. Because of some other circumstances, I am having to have my wash closet remodeled, so the washer is on an uneven floor where the geek squad delivered the machine due to the remodeling, and this machine levels it's self doesn't clang or make a loud noise when in the spin mode! My clothes are clean, and the machine is fast. The machine is able to determine how much time is needed to clean the clothes based on the cycle chosen and how big the load is. I love the big variety of cycles to choose from as well!

I had a Kenmore washer and Dryer for almost 10yrs and it was repaired the whole time ... So I decided to do my research and look at some reviews on washers and dryers in Consumer Reports and Best Buy ... So I bought The LG top loading washer and Dryer and I have to say it was the Best Choice that I've made .... I Love both my washer and dryer .... Best Buy , LG, and Consumer Reports You Are the Best !!!!!!!!!
