It's big enough for my biggest comforter. it's not to loud and very easy to use. Definitely user friendly. The color is sleek and nice. But if you're like me and don't wanna pay for install don't forget to take out the bolts in the back. Lessoned learned LOL!
I would recommend this to a friend

Only a few weeks of use but so far very happy with it. Easy to use and good overall performance. Fits bedding and good sized loads. Rinses clean. Fits in a compact space and is quiet. The only thing I don't care for is the smell the interior gives off. It doesn't seem to transfer to fabrics but it's unpleasantly chemical and hasn't yet gone away with use.

My wife absolutely loves this LG 4.5 cu. ft. front load washer, especially the 15-minute quick wash mode—it’s a real time-saver for small loads. The machine is quiet, efficient, and handles large loads with ease while still being gentle on clothes. One important thing to note is that you’ll need to do a bit of regular maintenance to keep it in top shape. Be sure to dry the rubber gasket around the door after each use, as well as the inside of the glass, to prevent mildew. It’s also a good idea to drain the water from the bottom filter about once a month to keep it running smoothly. These small steps go a long way in keeping the washer fresh and functioning. Overall, it’s a high-quality machine with great features and performance. Highly recommended if you’re willing to stay on top of light upkeep

This LG electric dryer is a game-changer. Its standout features? Whisper-quiet operation and remarkable efficiency.
It runs so quietly I forget it's on. No more disruptive rumbling—just tranquility, day or night.
Efficiency is top-notch. Clothes dry quickly and evenly, even bulky items. Plus, it's energy-efficient, saving on bills and reducing my footprint.
The sleek design fits perfectly, and controls are intuitive. It's durable too, showing no wear after months of use.
In short, if you want a quiet, efficient dryer that's built to last, this one's a winner.

This is our second go around with this washer! We had bought it for a previous house and absolutely loved it! So when our current washer started giving us problem, it was very easy to purchase this washer. The steam setting is great, and it has always gotten our clothes clean. I highly recommend the matching dryer as well! LG components are also easy to swap if something were to happen, that is why we have always chosen LG appliances in general. Highly recommend!

The washer cleans well. However, you do need to download the full manual (not the short one that comes with the washer). Then, look over not only the process of washing clothes but the maintenance required. Specifically:
1. Choosing the right setting.
2. Wiping the door seal after finishing and keeping the door open until it dries.
3. Running a tub cleaning cycle after every 30 washes.
4. Cleaning the drain pump filter on a regular basis.
Many of the low ratings come from owners transitioning from top loader washers. All top loaders basically require is throwing clothes in, dumping in detergent, and pressing start if you don’t need to change settings like temperature. The WMA4000HWA is somewhat more complicated. When you turn it on, it seems to default to the Normal cycle. However, you need to turn the Cycle Selector Knob one click before the washer actually is in the Normal cycle. Otherwise, you won’t be able to select the cycle modifiers (what LG calls settings such as temperature and spin rate) on the control panel. Because it always defaults back to this semi-Normal state after power off, you can’t leave it in your favorite cycle. You need to be aware of that if this bothers you.
Other low ratings come from people who don’t understand how the washer works. As an example, clothes won’t be sopping wet at the end of most cycles. The spin cycles remove a lot of the water. However, some of the fault is on LG for not explaining certain things in the manual. Besides the issue of the Normal cycle at start-up, I regularly get the “Sud” or Oversudsing Detection warning when washing dish towels. The manual does explain what the warning is and how to get out of it. However, it doesn’t suggest how to avoid the error by selecting the Bedding cycle which is for articles that don’t absorb water very well.
The LG ThinQ application does have some value so long as you recognize it’s basically a monitoring tool The remote start function is of value only if you are willing to set it up before “going remote” and then want to send a signal to start washing before you arrive back. Also, it doesn’t warn you if you are getting the “Sud” warning. Instead, the time until cycle completion display never changes so you must figure out something is wrong. Finally, the manual doesn’t give you step-by-step instructions on how to configure the app and pair it to the washer. Instead, the manual expects you to understand that you need to download the app, create an account with a username and password, and then let the app walk you through the process. There supposedly is a QR code in the included manual to help but I never found it.
The washer does what is supposed to do. It cleans clothes while using less detergent and water. However, you must be willing to understand how the washer works to get the best results. Otherwise, a top loader especially a commercial style top loader would be a better choice.

This washer is beautifully designed with many unique features and amazing fit and finish. It is quiet and, as with most LG products, I am sure will be very reliable.

In all of my research I did not read anything about "TrueBalance" feature (see logo far right under control panel). I love, love, love how quite this machine is. The slosh of wet clothes is the loudest thing you'll get from this machine. After set up with a level, the spin cycle is sounds like a purring cat. My last LG high capacity never got close to being this enjoyable.

I received this washer 3 weeks ago to replace a 13 year old Whirlpool Duet Front-Load washer. So far, I have done about 40 loads and have used most of the wash cycles. I am very pleased with this washer. It does a great job at getting our clothes clean. The spin cycle is excellent at removing as much moisture as possible so our clothes dry quickly in the dryer. The washer is very quiet. The chime that signals that a cycle is done is a pleasant tune but it is almost too quiet for me to hear, with the washer being located in the basement. I found the online manual to be more helpful than the more brief instructions that came with the washer. I have not been able to use the wi-fi function as the washer is located too far from our router. Overall, this was a good purchase.

We upgraded our laundry with this machine, for sure!! This is one of the machines PSEG gives a rebate for, plus it was on open box deal, so it was right there for us as far as price goes. We rented a truck from Home Depot next door and drove it home for $20. We installed it, first thing was the pistons that hold the barrel inside had pulled apart, probably when the BB guys were loading it on the flatbed and dropped to the side.. once we figured out how to reset those, we were in laundry heaven, this thing cleans so nice, I find my favorite setting is 'Heavy Duty' it gets out even stubborn protein stains. We haven't connected it to our phone, that's just not necessary, my laundry doesn't need to know that much about my life...
We've been using this machine for well over a year and have no complaints, it's quiet, does it's job well, and uses water efficiently. We use Earth Breeze laundry sheets so there is no soapy build up, we don't let clothes sit around and when not in use we leave it open to dry out.. there is no mildew smell and our clothes are always fresh.
Plus, there is a drain access right at the front, which is super helpful, and the tub clean cycle is great to keep everything fresh.

This unit - to date - is a significant upgrade from our prior LG washing machine. This machine is quieter during the wash/spin cycle and offers options not included with the former LG machine (eight years of steady service).
We purchased this unit on sale - given the discounted price, it represents excellent value (we payed additional fees for delivery and removal/disposal). The delivery was efficient and professional.

I used to have a Samsung washer, that I bought almost 7 years ago and one day stop working, fix it and stop working again. Then l bought this amazing machine, big loads, smooth operation, almost no noise, pretty start and finish sounds, masterful balance loads, super fast spin (clothes almost dry when spin cycle is finish), and a very happy wife, especially a very happy wife, thanks LG!

The actual washer is superb. It is quiet. There are multiple cycles from which to choose and I've not owned it long enough to try them all. My major FRUSTRATION is with the LG company. There is NO detailed guide (Complete owner's manual) included with the washer. There is a booklet entitled Owner's Manual WASHING MACHINE that provides in depth detail r/t installation, owner maintenance, and owner troubleshooting. If the owner chooses to have MORE information regarding what EACH CYCLE does, then the owner must go to the website and either read it online OR print the information. I am NOT an individual who prefers to have my laundry accomplished WITHOUT first knowing what the cycles entail. I believe LG could afford to provide that data with the packet of data that is sealed in plastic and is inside the drum. I live in an area where there is excellent internet access. NOT ALL AREAS of the US have FAST and CONSISTENT internet coverage ALL the time.
