    LG Model WT8600CB - 5.5 cu. ft. Top Load Washer with AI Sensing. We took delivery of the washer in December 2024. We miss the water plus feature to add additional water. This is crucial because the washer rarely adds enough water for easy movement of the cloths in the water. The automatic water level also, at times, adds too much water. As with our previous LG washer the water flow is slow and unnecessarily extends the wash time.

    I am very happy with my LG washer. Getting use to the top loader, but I think it is much better than the front loader. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with the door seal getting moldy and slimy. It was grossly a pain.

    This is my 3rd LG washer and dryer set. Ive had each for 5-6 years and run them daily 3-5 loads. I always purchase the extended warranty for 5 years to get me through. This one has run very well so far. It was an adjustment with the soap dispenser. You don't have to pour in for each load. It self releases what it needs.
