A high tech, high capacity cleaning machine!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Overall, I am very happy with this washer that I received at a discount. It is so quiet, which I hope you can tell from the video. The remote phone option is interesting, but I'm not sure how often I would use it. I used a minimal amount of detergent and my clothes came out very clean on the first wash. I truly cannot believe how huge the drum is! I placed in my clothing and both of my daughter's clothing, plus a few items of my husbands and well it looked to be right at the fill line, once the water filled up we could've easily fit in a few more items if we needed to. I suspect this machine will cut down my loads per week in half, which I am thrilled about. The only minor complaint I have is that some of the clothes nearest to the agitator seemed to just be wrapping and unwrapping around it, so I'm not sure if that's normal or if there is a setting I need to adjust so that the entire wash basin spins more as well. Overall, this is a huge upgrade from our last machine and we are very happy with the opportunity to try it through Influenster.
Thank you for sharing your experience with your WT8205CW washer! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the quiet operation, large drum capacity, and excellent cleaning performance. Regarding clothes wrapping around the agitator, this can sometimes happen with certain load types. Using the appropriate cycle and load distribution usually helps ensure everything moves freely during the wash. Should you ever have questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact us at 1-888-542-2623 from Monday–Sunday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time, or online here: • https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact-us/ Thank you for choosing LG Electronics!

LG top loading washer
My old machine was 16 years old and so this new machine was a pleasant surprise. Huge washing drum and uses less water. I wasn't too sure about AI but it determines the size of the load. I use delicate cycle often so I wasn't best pleased about having to go online to download it, and it did take some time to find it and do that. But it all runs well and I must say very quietly! The clothes come clean and brighter.
Hi Weever! Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of your WT8205CW. After 16 years with your previous washer, we are especially delighted that your new LG has been such a pleasant surprise! It is wonderful to hear that you are enjoying the spacious drum, efficient water use, AI load sensing, quiet operation, and the clean, brighter results. We also appreciate your honest feedback about having to download the Delicate cycle and the time it took to find it. Your comments are extremely valuable and help us continue improving the convenience and overall experience of our products. Thank you for choosing LG, and we hope your new washer continues to make laundry days easier for many years to come!

Pleased with my selection
So far so good. Did a lot of research before deciding on the LG WT8205CW, a top load with agitator. I had a Samsung top load impellor for many years. I think the agitator cleans better. Clothes coming out cleaner.
All that research completely paid off, Maria! We are absolutely thrilled that your WT8205CW is giving your clothes the noticeably deeper, fresher clean you were looking for. Transitioning from an impeller washer back to a traditional agitator can be a big decision, but there's nothing quite like that classic cleaning power paired with LG's modern technology. We're so glad your new washer is already making a positive impression and earning your confidence with every load. Thank you for making the switch to LG! If you ever have any questions or need assistance, our LG CareQ team is always available at 1-888-542-2623, or via WhatsApp, live chat, or email through https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact-us/. Enjoy your beautifully clean laundry, and thank you for choosing LG!

New LG washing machine is great!
I'm pleased with the performance of my new LG washing machine. It appears to do a good job of cleaning. I also like that it calculates the time for each load. Most of my loads have been less than 60 minutes. I'm impressed with that.

Stop looking and buy this dryer
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this LG top loading dryer to replace a side loader that I couldn't get a musty smell out of. And man! Am I happy I did! This dryer is very quiet, and doesn't vibrate or shake the house like the last one. All my clothes finally smell fresh and come out perfectly clean. It was easy to install and set up and it was running within minutes, no complicated learning involved at all. I would highly recommend this dryer to anyone running a side loader right now. A cool bonus feature is you can actually see the clothes getting cleaned through the clear top lid. Ooh and on a side note, the touch screen and musical notes it makes are very nice!

LOTS TO LEARN
Switching from a simple 35 year old machine to a high tech 21st century replacement can be very intimidating. It has taken 2 weeks of careful learning with load varieties, but we are coming out ahead, a huge learning curve, with impressive washing results. So far, great results, thanks LG.
Hi Janine! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your journey with us! Moving on from a trusted 35-year-old machine to a modern, high-tech washer can definitely feel like a massive leap, and it is completely normal to experience a learning curve at first. We are incredibly proud of your patience over these past two weeks, and we are absolutely thrilled to hear that your careful learning is paying off with impressive washing results! Modern high-efficiency washers handle water and motion a bit differently to protect your fabrics and save energy, but it sounds like you are mastering it beautifully. If you need any help with your refrigerator, our LG support team is always ready to assist. Thank you for choosing LG to step into the 21st century with!

Awesome machine for a family!
I love this machine. It's massive and can wash a lot, cleans well and runs a pretty quick cycle. Only dropping a star as it doesn't have a delicate cycle (you have to download it and use from LG app).
We absolutely love hearing how much you’re enjoying the large capacity, strong cleaning performance, and quick wash cycles. It’s wonderful to know the washer is keeping up so well with your laundry needs while making everyday washing more efficient and convenient. We also truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback regarding the delicate cycle accessibility through the LG app. Insights like yours are incredibly valuable, as they help us better understand the features customers would love to have more readily available directly on the unit itself. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing LG — we genuinely appreciate your support.

Issue
Okay , I did not realize the washer is registered . The Dryer wouldn't work so I looked in the manual and the "Control lock was on ". After reading thru the manual i was able to rectify the problem. I have no idea why or how the control lock was on. I also have a washer that for some reason I could not register but will try again. The washer so far works just fine,

So far it works
The washer appears to do the job. This is my first washer that selects the water level itself and I'm trying to get used to this. It would be an easier transition if the manual provided a description of each cycle. For example, if I selected a "normal" cycle vs "deep fill" vs "max" for the same load, what would be the impact to the water level? If "normal" fills the tub 1/4 of the way does "deep fill" add 25% more water or 50%? If I select "max" does it fill the tub up regardless of the load size or is it a max level dependent on the load size? If the operator's manual provided better (all of) information then the review would likely be higher. Spending my time going online searching through various forums is not an efficient use of my time. One thing I am enjoying is the ThinQ app which notifies me when a load is done. I didnt think I would use it but this waher is so quiet I can't tell when it finishes. My old washer was loud and I could be anywhere in the house and know it was done. So this is an unexpected plus for me.
Hello Joan! Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback. We are thrilled that the ultra-quiet performance and ThinQ app alerts have been unexpected wins, but we completely understand how transitioning to an auto-sensing water system can be confusing without clearer manual guidelines. To help make the transition easier, the Normal cycle automatically senses the load and adjusts the water level accordingly, while Deep Fill adds a significant amount of additional water, and Max Fill provides the maximum water level available for the selected cycle. We hear you loud and clear on wanting these differences explained directly in the manual, rather than having to search through online forums, and we will be sure to share your feedback with our teams for consideration. We hope you continue enjoying the convenience and impressively quiet performance of your new LG washer!
