Customer Ratings & Reviews

We had a tight space, but this machine did everything we wanted it to do and then some AND, most importantly, it fit into a rather odd space.

The washer is great. It would be nice if it was a liitle quieter. It rings the clothes practically dry, which saves on your drying time.

This is the quietest washer I've ever own. Leveling the unit was simple with a couple turns. The rpm's on spin cycle reduce dry time.

Love the color and all the features. Quick wash! great product. I strongly recommended to anyone

This is a great washer with lots of different settings and it looks good too.

Great product. Auto selects the size of load and does the job. Extremely fast.

Great overall EXCELLENT for first time Washer & dryer owners. I'm a young full time mother full time student always pressured for time and the washer has fast washing cycles.

5 stars! LG makes a great product! Love all the cycles available!

Excellent- worth every penny, would buy again if given the chance

Great machine. My wife loves it. Easy to use and ton of settings

Very Impressed, could not ask for more, works great!

I love it and recommend it to all the single guys out there!! Great value for the price !!

So far this product surpasses prior front loading washers; has a tub clean cycle that should help with mildew..... very pleased

This is an excellent appliance. It is a great value compared to the rest of the LG line.

Cool looking washer! Cleans well, quiet and has a lot of features!

i like them. they look nice and work well. they are easy to use.

This is the first front load washer that I ever purchased. I'm so used to typical top loaders so this was a big upgrade for me. I just got it delivered yesterday and tried a load of heavily sweaty work out clothes. With the previous top loader, the clothes were clean but still had a slight stench to them. With this front loader the smell was completely gone and they are like new clothes again! The sanitize cycle and extra rinse really helps...although it is quite long. The washer is significantly more quiet than the top loader. Overall, I am extremely pleased and happy with this washer. I plan to do another review in about 6 months....

Delivered by Best Buy employees with care and set up. I use stainless steel hoses to prevent a blow out. After they were done, wee looked over the washer and the matching dryer. Employee set the washer up by starting the drum clean setting and told me to let is finish. The first load was all my scrubs for an entire week, several polo shirts, a few shorts, and a windbreaker. I could not believe how the washer works without a pool of water in the drum. The two water jets forcibly push water thru the clothes as they tumble. It runs so quiet you have to look to see it running. When it came to spinning, it rocks the load back and forth to distribute the load equally and then it starts spinning. hardly any vibration noted. Washed a queen size comforter after this load which my old washer struggled to clean. This washer sensed an unbalanced load and stopped spinning, rocked the load, then started spinning again without any problems. Fantastic!

Ok, so I didn't think I'd be so thrilled that I'd actually be writing a review for a washer, but, nonetheless, here it is! This is the first front load washer I've owned and I can say that I will never go back to a top load again. The short list consisted of this washer and a Samsung. The Samsung I was looking at had PowerFoam as a feature, but was a little over $700 more than the LG. To be fair, that washer was a 4.5 cu. ft. size as compared to the 3.7 cu. ft. size for the LG. I'm sure the Samsung washer would have been a great washer; I liked the idea of PowerFoam. However, I'm a family of three and so the 4.5 cu. ft. load capacity wasn't really something we needed. 3.7 is more than large enough for my family's needs. Also, as cool as PowerFoam sounded, I liked the idea of the Allergiene cycle that uses steam to remove 95% of common household allergens. My wife really suffers with her allergies and I really liked the fact that this wash cycle could help mitigate some of her suffering. The SpeedWash, TurboWash and ColdWash features were also big selling points. Couple that with the Direct Drive motor (as opposed to pulleys) for the movement of the drum and I was satisfied that I was getting a washing machine that would more than satisfy my needs. So in considering this machine and the Samsung, I very quickly realized that while both machines were quite good, I would be almost able to purchase both the LG washer and dryer for the price of just the one Samsung washer. As a side note, the smaller capacity Samsung washer (the one that would be more comparable to the LG I purchased) did NOT come with the PowerFoam option, so in a more apples to apples comparison, I feel the LG washer outshines it's similarly equipped/sized Samsung competitor. With regards to performance, this machine is the best I've ever owned. I had high expectations, but I was also somewhat skeptical as to what a front load washer would really be like. I was sure it would wash clothes and that it would do a good job, but would it really be a noticeable improvement over my old top loader? YES! If you've been on the fence, time to move. I do not regret this purchase at all. I've had the LG for about a week now and I've used it daily. First, the machine is extremely quiet during operation. Our laundry room is located in an open nook just off of the kitchen. There is no door to close to dampen the noise. Prior to this, we'd always have to adjust the TV volume accordingly when washing clothes. The only real intrusion I've noticed is during the initiation of the spin cycle. During the actual washing cycle, I don't even hear the machine. It doesn't intrude in conversation or TV viewing. It's amazingly quiet. Don't get me wrong, you can hear it if you choose to attend to the noise, but it becomes so innocuous in the background that it's easy to forget the machine is even running. Of course, once you hear it's end of cycle signal, you remember you had clothes running! Once the washer is spinning, it returns to very quiet operation, too. I just notice the difference when it moves from the wash cycle to the spin. And that's really if I'm even listening for it. Since I'm speaking of the spin cycle, this washer does not walk all across the laundry room floor either. It's very stable and has not even vibrated the floor, house, windows, etc. even once - not even a hint of vibration. Given that front load washers can spin at some pretty impressive speeds, I was surprised by this. The TrueBalance system on this machine is definitely impressive and effective! With regards to performance, I was thrilled at the difference between washing in the top loader and this LG. This LG replaced a Maytag that, at the time of purchase, was a top of the line washer. I nicknamed the Maytag the Washing Dead because it refused to die. It was 16 years old and still going strong. It was undoubtedly a relic. The agitator was a pain when it came to washing comforters. I can't begin to count the times that a small load would get out of balance and the machine would just stop until I manually balanced the load. Sometimes it would get out of balance and quit again within 5 minutes. This was annoying, but if I was home it wasn't a big deal. This would be a problem when I'd set clothes to wash when we were leaving. It was never a good feeling to come home only to find that the machine hadn't finished the job. Say goodbye to that problem. This machine completes the job every time. After several loads of clothes, I can say that my clothes feel cleaner. I could tell the difference with the first load of clothes I washed. However, because I didn't want to chalk it up just being excited about a new appliance, I waited several days to make a judgment. I have no doubt that our clothes are cleaner with this machine than they have ever been. Things just "feel" cleaner and on a deeper level, too. Another plus is that my clothes are not being beaten up by the agitator any longer. That means that clothes will look newer for a longer period of time. A front loader is just going to prolong the life of any garments washed in it. Another thing that amazed me about this washer was how dry clothes came out of the washer. I'm used to jeans dripping wet coming out of the old Maytag. That's a thing of the past. This machine spins as much water out of these clothes as possible and with such effectiveness that it reduces the amount of time (and therefore energy) needed to dry the clothes. That's a win-win scenario in my book! There are a multitude of programs and cycles available in this washer and I don't believe any of them are gratuitous. In a little over one week, I've found that I've used a great deal of them. About the only consideration I gave with my other washer was hot, warm or cold and then moving the slider to correct position for the size load of clothes I was washing. That's about it. With this machine, I can wash small loads or bulky loads. I washed two full sized comforters at the same time and still had room to spare. I've loved the ColdWash cycle and have found it to be just as effective as the warm wash cycle. I've used the Allergiene cycle and my wife commented that her sheets, pillowcases, and comforter never felt or smelled better. While there are a myriad of options available for washing, I have not found any to be gimmicky or unnecessary. I can see a use for all and have already used most. I purchased the matching pedestal to go with this unit and I highly recommend it. It brings the machine to eye level and eliminates stooping down to load or unload the machine. All in all, I'd buy this machine over again in a heartbeat! It's been one of the best appliance purchases I've made in years! The dryer that goes with this washer is also amazing and I have reviewed that as well. My wife and I both love the Wild Cherry color. It sounds awkward to refer to such a mundane appliance as sexy, but nonetheless the red is just that. It pops nicely against our mocha paint in the laundry/kitchen area. So not only is this unit visually stunning (again - hard to believe I'm talking about a washing machine and not an exotic car with such jargon!), but also incredibly efficient and effective. While the options are numerous, a quick read of the instructions manual or PDF online will have you up and running in no time. The automatic dispensing of HE detergent (liquid or powder, but I recommend liquid), fabric softener, pre-wash, and bleach takes all the guess work out of cleaning your clothes. I've found the pre-wash to be very effective at helping clean some of my red clay soiled jeans. I also got some dark cherry juice from cherries on a white t-shirt out without a trace. I didn't get a stain on the shirt intentionally, but I figured this would be a good litmus test for how efficaciously the washer cleaned clothes. It worked like a champ! When they first released appliances other than TVs, I was skeptical of Samsung and LG. I once remarked, I don't want my refrigerator made by people who specialize in TVs. I can honestly say, I have been proven wrong. I would have no qualms buying a refrigerator or washer from either company. The highest compliment I can give LG is that they completely exceeded every expectation I had for this machine. Nothing feels cheap at all about this machine. It is truly a fantastic washer and, for the first time ever, everybody in the house wants to do the laundry!

This washer does a great job and I like that it has many cycles to choose from or customize. The color is very nice and it is rather quiet compared to my older washer.
