Our old front load washer's seal broke and I decided to go back to top load. This is so much quieter and more efficient. It senses the laundry load and gets the load down in 20-25 minutes less time and I feel like it is still clean without wasting the water or energy. It fits in the same amount of space but has a nice large drum of 5.5 cu. ft. I could probably do 2 loads at once! I only gave it 4 stars since I am still getting used to the new computerization on it and I couldn't see it lit up in the store. When I do a cold wash (which is all of them) my loads come out feeling warm. I'm not sure it it's from spinning or the water. There is more information in the online manual than the one they give you.

Works very well
The Deep Water fill is actually a lot of water
Good combo of no agitator with sufficient water level.

This is a great machine. It holds a lot of clothes, even king sized bedding. It looks good and is holding up well doing 3+ loads every week. I like that the end cycle sounds are changeable and customizable.

After months of use, we are extremely pleased with this washer. Since we haven't had many modern style washers, it has been a very welcome upgrade.
Easy to use, fun sounds and you can't go wrong with a soft close lid!!

I initially looked at the 8600, but the price difference was just too significant —only a couple of more features and a few more wash cycles. I use the AI wash feature on this 8400, and it is incredible. It can do an entire load in less than 30 minutes. Quiet, and the app tells you when a load is done. Pair it with an 8400 dryer, and the dryer will learn from the washer which settings it needs to minimize drying time. Clothes are wrinkle-free. It is easy for my wife, who is 5 feet 2, to reach the bottom of the drum. The first month of use makes me wonder why I did not buy it earlier!

Does a good job. Sleek design. Would prefer a little more flexibility in the settings but as stated, does a good job.

It works. Cycles not Flexible

We purchased the LG8400C washer based on it's top load feature and capacity. The interior is huge - literally you could put a small person in it. It's functioning better than our prior front load LG as the clothes come out feeling clean and not feeling like they are still coated with detergent. The cycles are pretty obvious and it operates fairly easily with selection. BUT, it really lacks flexibility in cycle selection. For instance, if you want to run the "Normal" cycle and then add an extra rinse the unit automatically shifts into "Deep Fill" mode. I don't want Deep Fill I just want an extra rinse. Anyone whose had organic chemistry knows that more extractions are better than doing a higher volume of fewer extractions - duh!! Apparently the engineers who designed this unit never had that class. Anyway you CAN select variations in water temp, soil level, and spin speed. The lights on the display that show what cycle features you've selected are a bit dim and if your unit is placed near a window, it can be hard to read these. The black top of the unit shows every spec of dust, lint, and fingerprints so if you are OCD about it looking sleek, this is not the unit for you. If I had the flexibility to do this purchase over again, I would reconsider getting a unit that has better cycle flexibility. We had no way of knowing when we stood looking at this one on the show room floor that we would not be able to just add an extra rinse without it kicking into Deep Fill mode. So yes, I'm a little frustrated with the lack of flexibility. Still the clothes come out clean and it operates pretty quietly in my opinion despite spinning at very high speed so the clothes dry quickly afterwards.

Excellent Top Load washing machine

Love this large capacity top load washing machine. It is better for my space than a front loader. I am able to allow the wash basin to air dry after a wash to prevent mold. Front loader just did not work in my space. My old washer was a front loader and because of the space it was in we could not keep the washer door open. Mold developed in the basin in the old washer. This is quite and washes clothes exceptionally well. Highly recommend!

This is a great washer! After having two front load washers in the past decided to go back to top load. My laundry appears to get much cleaner in this washer.
Large drum so if you are on the shorter side might not be for you.
Some people might like that you can have app on your phone to run but I prefer to just push buttons
