Do not purchase this machine

Do not purchase this machine unless you want to waste your money and be frustrated to tears. You have to figure out work-arounds for every cycle and even then, it does whatever it wants. You set it on Deep Wash or Deep Fill and it cancels it out for the rinse cycle. If you need that much water for the wash cycle because it is a big load or a large item, how do you not need that much water for the rinse cycle? You then end up with clothes not properly rinsed as the machine will only put enough water to barely cover the clothes, sometimes not even. Total waste of money, time and energy. If I hadn't spent so much money on it, I would smash it to pieces with a crowbar. The satisfaction of doing that is all it's good for. One star is exceedingly too much.

So disappointed!

My front load washer that I had for 20+ years didn’t use enough water to really get the clothes clean, so I decided to finally go back to a top load and chose this one for its large capacity ability. Hoping to get my 11 small loads per week down to 5 larger ones. Thought I may be imagining it but I’m not, even when I add extra water I have CLOTHES COMING OUT OF A COMPLETE WASH CYCLE WITH DRY SPOTS. Attached pictures of my son’s summer weight joggers that were in an average load of socks, a couple t-shirts, pillow case and another pair of joggers. The light colored spots are completely dry while the dark spots wet. The “agitator” on this machine sucks. Instead of turning the clothes over from top to bottom (where they would actually get wet) it just wiggles one way and then reverses to wiggle the other way only scaring the clothes on the top halfway under water. I want my 27 year old washer with a true screw type agitator back that my mom is still using after all these years! No bells or whistles but it got clothes clean. There’s too much emphasis on “smart” appliances that interface with an app but can’t manage to do what you bought it for. I should throw my clothes in the bathtub and stomp on them like grapes and they would actually get clean and I could have saved myself a LOT of money.

Hey there! Thanks so much for sharing your detailed LG Washer experience. Ensuring your clothes get fully soaked for a proper clean after every cycle is important, so we'd love to help! If you notice some dry spots on your clothing after completing a cycle, it's possible the drum may be getting overfilled. We recommend ensuring your loads don't exceed more than 2/3rd's of the drum's capacity. To help ensure a proper soak, you can also try the Deep Wash cycle. Deep Wash provides additional water and washes heavily soiled mixed items, except delicate fabrics. If you still need help, please get in touch with us on social media @LGUSSupport with your contact info and model number. We'll gladly help out more! *Joseph

Not a fan of the smart washers using less water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t have this exact model but I have an LG, top loader with agitator smart washer, so I’m sure it’s similar. Clothes DO NOT get saturated with water. During the wash cycle clothes are moving in the machine without getting wet, so how do they get clean?! I have to use the bedding setting when doing laundry so the tub fills up otherwise clothes come out with spots and still smell like perfume. When washing my sons 4 white school shirts I hate having to use the bedding option so I tried to download a cycle on the app, using the 1/2 load option and clothes still don’t get fully wet. Really not efficient at getting clothes clean.

Lots of cycles

I like the glass lid but what is the point with the tint? You can not see in side. I also do not like the tilt feature on the top of the dryer. I like to put my laundry detergent there. I would rather them not match. It is nice to be able to reach in the washer. I would also like a soak feature. I haven’t been able to figure that out. Other than that the washer and dryer are a good pair.

Pleasant surprise

I bought it a month ago. I really enjoyed the machine from the very first wash. I was skeptical because this machine was fairly new to the market and had no reviews. But it really does a great job.. like the soft lid close. I wish it was see through. The control panel could be more lighted.
