Customers recognize the 5.3 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer's excellent cleaning performance and large capacity as significant advantages. Many appreciate its quiet operation and ease of use, along with the effective agitator and spacious tub. However, some users find the washer's tub depth challenging, and a few have reported reliability concerns. The positive feedback on cleaning, capacity, and quietness outweighs the negative comments regarding depth and occasional malfunctions.

I chose this LG HighEfficiency with an Agitator after my Maytag
WITHOUT an Agitator (impeller) transition died after 6 years…and the 10 year warranty didn’t cover the fail.
An Agitator definitely cleans your clothes better and I believe is mechanically stronger.
With an impeller, the tub is the whole churning action putting more stress on the mechanical parts.
LOVE my new LG (And, LG gets high marks from consumers).
P.S. on sale with $300 off!

LOVE MY NEW W & D SET!!!

LOVE IT! Had the pair about a month now and love them. Last set were 23 years old...gottta love Kenmore. Yes the new one is a littlsle weird, not so sure about the normal wash and the water level, so I tried deep wash (not deep fill - which is great option for large loads) but deep wash allows enough water to really get the clothes clean. Figure out the quirks between how you washed before to how these machines work and you will dig these. Quiet too. Mine are in my house, barely hear them. So far so good!!!

I'd choose the LG 5.5 impeller version

If I could go back in time I'd choose the LG 5.5 Impeller.
YES IT COMES WITH ALL THE PARTS power cord, hoses, drain hoses. At no additional cost. I was skeptical about that because it said it didn't. Which is a error on this site.
Note: on the instructions manual it says only wash 1 big bulky bed sheet at a time.
However I am lazy, and decided to wash my entire bed sheets, bulky covers in 1 round.
Cons
1. The agitator on this machine is there for decoration.
2. Gets in the way of big bedding loads.
3. Moves slow
4. Time it takes to wash ( I personally don't care about the time. it's like a hour to 38 minutes per load.)
5. The SLOW washing motion of the agitator TELLS YOU THAT (LG EXCLUSIVELY MENT FOR THIS PRODUCT TO BE IMPELLER ONLY). The impeller version of this device is much better, and the way to go.
6. This washing machine will basically wash the same as the impeller. Even though it's an agitator washer. The con is the agitator of this machine gets in the way on big bulky loads, sheets, bedding.
7. I couldn't connect this machine to my spectrum wifi network. I guess my network didn't take it.
Testing the agitator:
When I was testing it washing huge sized big bedding loads. Covers get caught up on top of the agitator, and i have to stop the machine, and manually move the sheet off the top of the agitator so it doesn't break or malfunction. (It was a illegal bulky oversized load) for testing purposes.
I know the LG 5.5 impeller washer can handle it.
Pros
1. The spin cycle on this machine is fantastic!!! Handle that illegal oversized load of bedding sheets fantastic.
2. Cleans clothes, clothes smell great.
3. Regular washing whole entire wardrobe basket of clothes is great. I'm a boy I don't have much clothes but it's a big basket full.
4. Looks beautiful in the house.
5. The agitator does a lil something something. But impeller is the better version of this machine.
6. Doesn't use much water to clean clothes. (this may be a con for some, but you can put a setting where it fills the washing machine maxed out with water.)
7. Quiet
8. See through glass window so I can see it wash.
I am still keeping this agitator washing machine. It's not a bad machine, as long as it works. It's the exact same as the LG 5.5 impeller washer but slightly smaller with a slow agitator.

It is a modern washer with high-tech. It can clean clothes better, wash clothes more gently, save energy, and quiet.
It has a big bin for a lot of clothes.
You can choose from many washing programs as well as download others.

Quieter and holds more than my old machine while still fitting in the small space for my washer. I have had both with and without an agitator now and this one seems to handle bulky items better. it hasn't gone off balance at all. Fun fact, it plays a tune when laundry is done, better than a buzzer :)

Switched from Samaung to LG. Decided on center agitator and deep fill option after not having those for 10 years. Clothes get so much cleaner with no lost space since machine is bigger to accommodate agitator. Shorter person may need step stool to reach bottom of tub. Can still fit king size blankets and bedding in one my wash. App function take a minute to figure out but are convenient, especially the reminders and the ability to start wash when away so it’s ready when you get home. Very happy with this purchase!

We were in need of a new washing machine but didn’t want to purchase just any washing machine. After hours of browsing different options and reading customer reviews, we decided to purchase this one. We weren’t adamant on getting a match for our dryer but luckily for us, it worked out this way. We needed something with depth capacity and a washer that would last more than a few years. I am extremely pleased that this washer met all of our needs. The price was great and we are thrilled to wash bigger loads than before. The digital features are easy to navigate and our clothes are clean and fresh after every load. When we received our delivery, the driver informed me that this machine was popular and extremely dependable when it came to overall quality. I must agree so I am extremely satisfied with our purchase. It would be amazing to win. $400 gift card with this review but in all honesty, I just want to inform you that if you’re in need of a great washing machine, look not further. This one will meet all of your needs.

Love my washer. Does big loads and gets the clothes super clean. Not very noisy and has plenty of extra features. I notice some have commented that the auto fill does not work correctly and I cannot comment on that. I use the deep clean for each wash. If you’re short it could be a problem as the washer is deep. Might need a footstool.

We bought this washer because our last LG washer without the agitator was constantly going out of balance. Over the 10 years we had that washer it would periodically go out of balance, but progressively for worse over the years. We tried all the"fixes" none worked. Eventually, it was simply too frustrating and time to replace. Reading the concerns about this washers water level we had reserves, but felt that if needed we could use the extra water option in that was the case so we would try it. Since having best buy come out and install the machine (free with our membership) we have ran multiple loads a week through the machine. We've had light loads, heavy leads, towels, bedding, you name it. Not one time have we had the machine go uneven. I'll add that though it would appear that the water level seemed low when looking in, all our loads have came out clean. My assumption is that we simple have been trained to associate all the extra water we saw as needed when it wasn't. We have never added more water, simply let the machine run and it has always done a great job despite appearances of the level of water. I suggest you close the lid and walk away, it works perfectly everytime. This machine is considerably louder than or last. If you are tired of a machine without a agitator going out of balance i recommend going back to the agitator like we did. No more issues, just as much cc capacity, clean clothes, less water, and fast cycles.

Fits all my clothes in one load, and even a King size comforter- the best part is, this machine not too deep where I, only 5 foot 1, can still reach the bottom to get those strangling socks. Very quiet! Would recommend.

This replaced a impeller LG that was 9 years old. This agitator drive washer cleans so much better than we even expected. It is quiet, fast and the extra capacity over our old 4.7 cu ft is an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Washer is amazing . Easy to use and gets the clothes very clean. The washer is large enough to do my comforter and my only issue with it is it is difficult to reach the bottom because I’m short

So far this has been an excellent replacement for our old Maytag. It was easily installed and has a very quiet operation. It has the delicate cycle which was a requirement and many do not these days. It has a very deep tub which may be a challenge for some people. It appears to clean very well compared to the impeller type washers. Overall very happy!! Only time will tell about durability!

So far I really like this washer. I wash everything on deep wash which I feel gets clothes cleaner. Tub is deep and sometimes I have to stand on tip toes to get things out, but I don't mind because I wanted the larger capacity. My only complaint is the detergent drawer fills with water and doesn't always drain out during the cycle. Luckily the entire drawer pulls out so you can dump the water out.

We have had this about 3 weeks and have yet to find anything we dislike. Very quiet. So glad we opted for agitator versus impeller. Love the large capacity.
