Great washer. Was able to stack so it was space-saving. Had to upgrade from 20 year old washer - fantastic replacement.

Bought washer and dryer and they are excellent and love them both. Attractive color black and white was very different for me so I made it work.

Leaking after 10 minutes of use

The delivery guys were great. Hooked everything up perfectiy. Started leaking from under the machine, not the hookups, 10 minutes after they left. They came back, cleaned up all the water and called Best Buy support to get the machine replaced. Now I'm waiting for the new one to be scheduled to be delivered and the defective one to get picked up. Very disappointing.
Hi, there. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about your LG Washer (WM4000HBA) model. While we're glad to hear the delivery and installation were handled well, we understand your concern about experiencing a leak so soon after setup. Sometimes, water can leak from underneath the washer if the drain hose isn’t secured properly in the standpipe or if the drain filter isn’t tightened all the way. It might be a good idea to check the drain filter cover at the bottom front panel to make sure it’s sealed up nicely. For some extra help, feel free to visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-why-is-my-front-load-washing-machine-leaking--1431986512448.
We’re here to help you out. Just send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport with more details, and our team will be ready to find the best solution for you. We appreciate your patience as this gets sorted out. ^Juvy

I have to question why your Review Guidelines indicate the following: "When writing your review, please consider the following guidelines:
Focus on the product and your individual experience using it
Provide details about why you liked or disliked a product"
First I would have to ask why I did not receive a survey regarding the Customer Care and Service received, which is a part of the overall purchase experience?
I'm not too fond of the product because it was not installed correctly. I have attached a picture of the product installed. Why would anyone like a product that is installed in this manner?
Most individuals purchase these types of products because they would be aesthetically appealing in their home and the features they provide.
This product is not as aesthetically appealing as the attached pictures depict.
We understand your concern this feedback will be shared with our product team. We apologize for any inconvenience.^Venette

WILL RUIN YOUR CLOTHES

Do more research before getting this machine. It ruins clothes!! I thought if I just gave it time and got familiar with the cycles but NO!! Even on delicate cycle, items have been ruined. Tee Shirts and Sweat Shirts come out with fuzz balls -aka- lint balls -aka-pilling, this wasn't bc clothes was old, this happened on NEW and fairly new clothes brands like Nike and Carhartt. Don't just rely on the ratings displayed on the Merchant's sight. Search the web.

I like this machine but not sure how i did not notice how the machine was broken when they delivered! So
Hi, Terence. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the LG Washer (WM4000HBA) model. We're glad to hear you’re enjoying the performance of the machine, but we understand your concern about discovering it was damaged upon delivery. We strive to provide exceptional services and ensure that all products are carefully packaged and handled. However, sometimes unforeseen circumstances can lead to issues during transit. We recommend contacting Best Buy customer service at 888-237-8289 to report the damage.
In cases like this, it's always a good idea to inspect the unit thoroughly during or right after delivery. If you haven’t already, we recommend checking the washer for any signs of physical damage, loose components, or error messages during operation. You can also run a Tub Clean cycle without any laundry to test for abnormal sounds or movement, which could help identify any underlying issues.
We’d love the opportunity to assist you further. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport with more details about the issue you’re seeing, and we’ll help guide you toward a resolution. ^Juvy

The LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. Smart Front Load Washer in Black Steel is an impressive combination of sleek design, advanced features, and reliable performance. Right out of the box, the modern finish looks fantastic—stylish and high-end, easily elevating the look of any laundry space.
Performance-wise, this washer is a powerhouse. It handles large loads with ease, and the 4.5 cu. ft. capacity is more than enough for families or heavy laundry weeks. Clothes come out thoroughly clean and noticeably fresher, especially when using the steam feature, which is great for deep cleaning and reducing wrinkles.
One of the standout features is the built-in intelligence. The washer automatically detects fabric types and load size, then adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. It takes the guesswork out of laundry and saves time. The LG ThinQ app integration is also a game-changer—you can start, stop, and monitor your laundry remotely, and even receive maintenance alerts.
It’s also incredibly quiet, even during the spin cycle, which is great if your laundry area is near living spaces. The washer is energy-efficient and uses less water without compromising on performance.
Overall, this LG washer delivers high-tech convenience, excellent cleaning power, and beautiful design. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a smart, efficient upgrade that blends performance with style.

It would be great if I could provide a review but, I can't! Especially since when my equipment was delivered and installed on 4/22/2021 BUT the techs did not level them... therefore I can't use them. I called the Geek Squad 12 times 1 on 4/22/2021 and 11 times on 4/23/2021 only to be told that I will need to wait until the next available appointment 4/27/2021 to have it "re" installed. This is a POOR way to deal with customers. Is it really Best Buy or Best INCONVENIENCE!!

Terrible product no wifi & missing instructions

Just wasted an hour trying to get LG thinQ app to link with this new washer… what a completely frustrating experience!!!
Hope it’s never really necessary to actually use this feature because it doesn’t work.
LG you must test features like this before you market them… shame on you for claiming to have wifi connection!
Also another huge miss -
THERE’S NO COMPLETE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED. AND IF YOU GO TO THEIR WEBSITE, THEY’RE NOT AVAILABLE TO PRINT OR DOWNLOAD OUT EITHER!!!
If you go to the LG website to download a complete set of instructions for this model washer, you get sent to a VERY difficult to navigate online version of instructions that must be read on a computer or smart phone.
LG you must provide at least a pdf version of the complete instructions for people who purchase this washer.

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!

Efficient and Smart Washer with Minor Drawbacks

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased the LG WM4000HBA electric washing machine from Best Buy on September 8th, and it was delivered promptly on September 11th. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say that this washer has exceeded my expectations in many ways.
Pros:
Efficiency: The washer is incredibly efficient, handling large loads with ease and significantly reducing the time I spend on laundry.
Smart Features: The built-in intelligence and smart features are a game-changer. The washer automatically adjusts the settings based on the load, which ensures optimal cleaning and energy efficiency.
Quiet Operation: Despite its powerful performance, the washer operates quietly, which is a huge plus for me.
Design: The sleek black steel finish and modern design make it a stylish addition to my laundry room.
Cons:
Even though not that highly priced compared to similar models and consdering the washer is packed with features, it is on the pricier side. However, I believe the investment is worth it for the performance and convenience it offers.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. The LG WM4000HBA is a reliable and efficient washing machine that makes laundry day much easier. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality washer with advanced features.
