Great washer, just had a problem with the drain in the seal for the door. It got clogged and began leaking. It was difficult to access the point where it was draining without removing the entire door seal. Other than that it has been a very reliable washing machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is easy to use once you figure it out. I wish the manual was more clear on how to do it. But once I figured it out by using the dial first and then changing things like the temperature, it is easy and works very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our old top-loading agitator washer, after over 30 years, finally quit. It's basket was medium size but often the wash became off balance as we rushed to adjust it. We were going to replace with another top-loading agitator washer, but looked at the front-loading LG 4.5 cu. ft. just before making our final decision. We knew that this LG had the technology that is "smart thinking" about loads and we paused to read the Consumer Report reviews and ratings. We completely changed our minds and we are so glad that we did! We care about our environment and safeguarding our waters, and we live in the Pacific Northwest. Besides, we already had a LG Dryer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Nice features for the price point. Intuitive controls and easy to use. Large capacity tubs. Cons: This dryer and the matching washer are advertised as compact models that are able to fit in smaller spaces (e.g., 2nd floor closet). My husband and I reviewed spec measurements before purchasing these for our laundry closet. (Our home does not have a laundry room or other room with laundry hook-ups. We literally have a closet with bi-fold doors.) The spec measurements made it seem that they would fit, but when they were installed, they were too deep with all the hoses hooked up that the doors wouldn't close. It's unfortunate that these are the smallest stackable washer and dryer we could find, and they still don't fit. I'm guessing there are other people with a similar issue, so it would be nice if LG would design truly compact models. I would recommend to a friend as long as they don't have to fit these in a small space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washing machine (and matching dryer) about a month ago. I completed a lot of research online and picked this washer/dryer set for its high reliability and customer satisfaction. The washer is also an energy star appliance, which is important to me. It is very easy to use. The white color looks great in my laundry closet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought both the washer and companion dryer when my old washer died. Was highly recommended by the store and friends. Love them both. Big enough to do basically a white load and dark weekly. Good price.

When my 15 year old washer gave out, I wanted to replace it with a matching machine to my dryer. Love that this unit uses less water and the cycle times are customized. My whites are actually whiter! I use less detergent and less bleach so this also saves me some money. This is truly the machine to purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this front-loading washer a couple weeks ago. It's my first front-loader. I had heard that there were smells when the door is closed. There weren't ANY! It not only uses a minimal amount of electricity, water, and soap, but it also wrings the water out of the clothes better than my old top loader, which results in one-third less drying time. This product was rated 2nd highest for front-loaders by Consumer Reports and was also 50% less in price than the #1 rated product.

Bought in October 22, worked great for a month, then started stopped draining the drum completely. I always have to run an extra spin cycle for that to happen, so some loads can take 90 minutes to wash. It’s just my husband and me, so there isn’t large loads, but it still takes me all day to wash and dry 3-4 loads of wash! I wish I would have went with another brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so happy that I was finally forced to buy a new washer, when my old GE top loader leaked and wasn’t worth fixing anymore. Based on a Consumer Reports recommendation, I ordered this washer online expecting it in a few days or at most, weeks. Lo and behold I then got a message saying it would arrive in more than 3 months. I cancelled the order and found a local dealer (Tripodi Appliances in Port Chester NY) who had it available for a similarly reasonable price and I got it delivered and installed in less than a week. I’ve had the washer for 3 months and I’m extremely satisfied with it, especially after I discovered that you need to leave it open for a day to let it dry out so that it won’t stink. It’s much larger than my previous washer and there’s plenty of room for very large loads. I was surprised that it diagnoses the weight and size of the load to determine the wash time. Very impressive, if it’s not a gimmick. The wash comes out very clean and the spin cycle works extremely well. I’m saving a lot on drying time and cost.
