Mommies Helper,
May 1, 2007
By Bratsmumsie
"Awesome! We just got our new washer today. We have been shopping almost a month now. Our 9 year old Frigidaire has been put to rest. We were leaning towards a more efficient and economical machine. Who can afford the utility bills anymore? I can't wait to see the reduction in our bill usage. I just washed our queen size comforter with absolutely no problem. The comforter was much drier than it ever was in our top load washer. And the way it use to bounce around, oh my terrible! Today with our new LG washer was the first time I have ever washed the comforter with out lint stuck to parts of the blanket. You know darn right well it wasn't really getting clean. But today no lint and you can smell and feel the difference! It is almost dry too. I would hang it out and spend half the day waiting for it to dry. It was worst in the dryer, an hour one side flip it over put it back in and set for another hour. With drier items (I feel) it will add life to any dryer, put 2 and 2 together it's a no brainer! I don't mind the extended wash times. You know they are clean and drier than ever before. Cuts you work in half. I like the tilled tub feature, child lock and over all the ease of use. I was worried about the door seal, but I agree with the salesman, technology has improved greatly since Grand mom’s washer. My Grand mom swore by front load washers. Now I can personally say I definitely agree!!!!!!!! Best value, excellent features and well built to accommodate the consumer. This product is right on!"

GOTTA GET THIS ONE!,
March 18, 2007
By Manda
"After shopping around at multiple stores, Home Depot was the best price for this LG washer. This is our first front load washer. We bought both washer and dryer in this set. It is fabulous! Very easy to install too. We spent our time on the floor watching the first load of laundry wash! We couldn't believe how quiet the machine was. I can wash two heaping laundry baskets of clothes in this washer and they come out clean! Also, we experienced washing 11 pairs of jeans...what a trip! We are very happy with this purchase. The dials and buttons are easy to understand. Even during the spin cycle, the house didn't shake. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this washer. One nice feature....if you are a shorter person and can't reach a stackable unit...this is the way to go for you. The washer is a larger capacity than the stackable model. You don't pay for the stackable feature, get more room, and look at the difference in the energy use. This model uses almost half as much as the stackable model. Go out and buy this washer/dryer set today! It is awesome!"

Very Satisfied,
January 9, 2010
By SmalltownShopper
"I have had this washer only a few days at this point, so I can't speak to reliability issues. However, at this point, the only way I could be more satisfied would be if the washer walked around and gathered up the laundry itself! It holds a BIG load and gets it all clean, and does just as good a job on a smaller load (I really like not having to guess at the right amount of water to choose for a smaller load, too). The controls look daunting at first, but are actually very intuitive and easy to use -- almost fun, if that word and "laundry" can be used together. The wash cycle is not any longer than my old front-loading machine, so that isn't an issue for me. I really like have so many choices of wash cycles, and the ability to tailor each one to the needs of the load. I tried the sanitizing cycle on a load of very dirty towels that had been used for everything from bath time to floor mat to dog washing, and they were all super-clean and fresh smelling when finished. The washer greets me with a little melody, plays an extended version when the load is finished, and makes laundry much less of a chore."

The good and the bad,
December 23, 2009
By FLfamily4
"I bought this LG washer and matching dryer about a year ago. This washer is great for washing clothes, towels, and other smaller items. It works okay for a load of sheets, except that sheets will sometimes get twisted together, and the washer will occasionally give the uneven load (UE) during the spin cycle. But that does not happen too often. It gets everything clean; much better than my older top loader for actually cleaning the clothes. However, for washing blankets, light quilts or coverlets, or any larger items that tends to be relatively heavy when wet, there is almost no way to balance the load during the spin cycle such that the machine does not give the uneven load (UE) error during the final spin cycle. I have a queen size and twin size light-weight quilts/coverlets. In the year that I have had this washer, I have never once been able to completely wash those items without having to repeatedly open the machine and remove/reload the quilt multiple (10+) times. That last 10 minute spin cycle sometimes takes an hour or more due to the need to attempt to balance the load, and I have had to occasionally manually wring out the quilt before attempting to spin to finally get it to work. I do not normally write reviews, but since I have actually spent more than an hour today making a wet mess in my laundry room trying to balance the load, I felt compelled to call customer service and write a review to warn others. Customer service says the UE code comes from too little or too large a load, or the machine not being level. I am not over or under loading the machine, and the machine itself is level and works fine for most other loads. A large load of towels is no problem, it seems to be the large items that are the problem. Also, if you think you may have overloaded the machine, there does not seem to be an option to only run a spin cycle in the event that you want to try to remove part of the wet items to see if spinning half of them will work. The bottom line. . . This machine is really great at cleaning everything, but if you have quilts that you want to wash regularly, you may want to consider some other washer to avoid the aggravation with the spin cycle. I had previously recommended this machine to several friends with that warning. But in reality, if you spend nearly $1,000 on a washer, you really should not have to wring anything out by hand before the washer will finish its job. Also, in the event that you notice water leaking from the bottom of the door (as if it is not sealing properly), wipe around the inside of the part of the door that comes into contact with the seal. Lint and hair on the door (which seams to build up with normal use) prevents a good seal, and wiping the inside of the door down regularly eliminates that problem."

Leaks water everywhere after 1.5 years,
November 23, 2009
By MattSk
"I like this washer at first, but recently it's started leaking water everywhere during the rinse cycle. I expected it to be more reliable than this - especially after only 1.5 years of light use by one person. My previous Kenmore HE washer never had issues like this...."

classic style, modern function,
November 17, 2009
By 71000CsurS
"I only needed to replace my classically styled washer and was attracted to the traditional placement of the controls, but with the modern function of a front loading machine. I was happy to find that other review on this machine where much better than other front loading machines.
The list price was too much for me to commit, but the following Sunday the washer went on sale for $625 and I ordered it… Very nice! Quiet, useful features, does a great job cleaning work uniforms, and all while using half the water and electricity of the old top loading machine it replaced. With a 4 cubic foot capacity it easily washes more than my old dryer can handle… Hope for a sale on the matching dryer!"

Lives up to its billing,

"I'd read the reviews for just about every front loading washer, this one stood out from the rest.
Pros:
Ease of use for control panel
Cleanliness of clothing
Looks like traditional top loader. Looks similar to my dryer.
Very Quiet during first 3/4 of washing cycle.
Cute signal tunes when finished (ME)
Large washing drum

During final higher spin cycles noise level does increase.

LG 4.0 Frontload Washer ... WOWZA PLUS!!!,
November 16, 2009
By DavidGG
"I could not be happier with this machine. It has been a delight since day ONE!!! It is unbelievably quiet and gets the clothes really clean and really DRY!! I knew I was going to replace my 15+ yo Kenmore washer with a front loader but I shopped around, read reviews, and spoke to several salespeople before deciding on the LG. The entire process, from ordering at our local HD to install was a breeze. All involved were professional and helpful. The machine is easy to use. I just can't believe how little water it uses ... AND HOW QUIET IT IS!!!"

"The whole process was Super. I love my new LG washer. The sales person at the Home Depot was the best ever!!! She was very informative and most helpfull. . I was skeptical about buying this front load washer but am soooo glad i did. I had a new Maytag that didn't even last 2 years, so upsetting. Will never buy a Maytag ever again. I have done many different loads of wash now and love, love , love this LG washer. It even has a ten year waranty on the motor. Love the HE factor too."

Jaw dropping,
November 8, 2009
By TheFigs
"This washer excedes expectations! We purchased this washer about three days ago and it is an absolute joy! I have washed more clothes in this washer than I would ever fit into our top load washer. My husband is very tall and I could only put two pairs of his pants in per load in the old washer, because nothing would come clean or it would make a lot of noise because of the need for balance. In this washers I put in five pairs of pants along with seven towels and other items and they all came clean! Even with all those items in the washer it was very quite and our cats were not distrubed. This item would be a very sound investment. Not to mention the delivery people were very nice, they walk you through how to use the machine and install all for FREE! This was the best customer service we have received during our appliance shopping experience!
My husband doesn't know it yet, but we will be back for the dryer! This is a great product!"

LG review,
October 31, 2009
By LikeLG
"I purchased our LG almost 6 months ago. The first week or two was frustrating because we kept getting water leaking out the bottom. We realized it was because we used too much detergent. We probably should've washed all our clothes for the first time w/out detergent, since the old machine left detergent in the clothes. We also have a water softener, so it was through trial and error getting it just right.
The machine is excellent at getting musty smells out..like when your kids go swimming and leave their towels in a bag for too long..just wash it on the Sanitary cycle..gets them smelling nice again. Also, my husband works outdoors & is a hunter..when his clothes get grungy he washes them on the sanitary cycle and they come out clean. The spin cycle is so fast, we can cut our dry time by 10-15 minutes. What is also nice is all the choices for water temp, time, speed...you can really customize your cycle. I had heard that it is best to leave the door open when not in use, so we have since day 1, however recently the washer had a faint odor to it. I checked the owners guide and realized that every so often you are suppose to do a Tub Clean cycle...I had never done one up to that point (about 5 mos. after purchase), so I did and the odor is gone. So far I've done the drain tube at the bottom twice to get out the lint. Very little lint, I probably could've waited longer. Also, for the first time I just cleaned the rubber gasket around the opening. There are creases in the folds, so goopy detergent can build up..it wipes clean easily. Looks like if you are really venturesome you could remove it altogether by taking off the spring wire around it, but I didn't dare cause I was afraid I might not get it back on.
All in all, it's a fantastic washer that really gets clothes clean. I would've rated it 5 stars, only I noticed many of my towels are somewhat disintegrating (coming apart at the seams and thinning). None of our clothes are doing that, just the towels..not sure if the machine is just too tough on them or what. I tried using a slower spin cycle, but then they are too wet, so I keep using the 2nd to fastest spin cycle. Another thing just to be prepared for, clothes can come out all twisted amongst other clothes. The long sleeves on my daughters’ shirts get all wrapped and tangled into the long legs of their skinny jeans and wrapped up into other clothes. You have to spend some time detangling the clothes before putting them in the dryer. If I could set the clocks back 6 mos., I will still buy the LG washer...the good outweighs the bad"

"Due to house fire had to replace our 4 yr old Amana that we loved. After much research and looking, decided on this LG and matching dryer. After finally getting rooms reconstructed, hooked everything up myself and did first load. Grandkids & I had a ball watching first load wash!
It is quiet, although it sounds like a jet winding up for take off when the spin cycle starts, overall its a quiet machine.

Super washer!,
July 17, 2009
By Springsoak
"We purchased this LG washer 2 months ago to replace a Kenmore energy-star front load washer that unfortunately decided to have its bearings fail on the drum after a short 7 years. While not desiring another major purchase, we were fortunate to find the LG on sale, plus with its purchase over the 2009 Veterans Day weekend, received 10% off as a veteran in addition to the 10% off sale of all energy-star appliance at Home Depot that weekend.
The LG has clearly exceeded our expectations in performance, capabilities, noise, and user-selected options for each load. It also has such a larger washing drum than our previous washer that we have about halved our laundry loads. Very quiet, attractive, and exceeds our expectations. Would buy LG again and heartily recommend it to others."

"bought this washer on a recommendation of a shopper in hd. the salesperson didn't know how many gallons of water it used (she guessed 16). customer said 8. lg cs said 14. got the washer home, but couldn't use right away as there was no guide in washer. went back to store and got it (forgot to ask them how many gallons of water it used). did a few loads and wanted cold wash/rinse, but water was hot. delivery people hooked the hoses on the wrong faucet. husband changed them and now it works ok. when choosing cotton/perm press the timer starts at one hour wash cycle. sure my old one was quite a bit less than that. if you choose heavy soil, it's 1.5 hours for wash. i think it uses a lot less water than my old one, but defintely more electricity. solved that by putting up a clothesline. we didn't get the drawer for the bottom of the washer($200), but husband built a platform for washer and dryer to sit on, so it's higher than before and easy to get clothes out of it. overall it's a good washer. very quiet. you could have it in your living room and not know it's on. need to get new dishwasher next."

Great Choice!,
July 14, 2009
By SHERIofNASHVILLE
""When I began my research for a new clothes washer, I was very skeptical about buying a front-loading washer. It seemed quite a bit more expensive. I began to look but it was unlikely that I would be buying this machine. However, every single review (both independent and reviews posted by people that had purchased a front-loading LG Washer were overwhelmingly unanimous with "five star" ratings. Even though I was not buying the brand that had been the choice of my family for years, I made the purchase and have been thrilled with it!
The delivery guys were extremely efficient and I was loading the washer just as soon as they werew gone. The setting were not nearly as complicated as I thought they would be, and it was strange using so little detergent, but I was simply amazed. It used so little water and the only sound it made was when it added the water. Once the cycle was complete, the clothes were thoroughly clean and just barely damp. The water savings was great and the small use of detergent was great but the best suprise was the clothes took about half the time to dry.
You can believe all of the positive reviews you read and If you don't have one of these washers, buy one: The money that you save in water, electricity, and detergent will pay for itself in a short time.""

THE DRYING TIME IS REALY SHORT AND THERE IS FAR LESS LINT IN THE DRYER SCREEN. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I READ THE MANUAL AND USE THE WASHER AS DESCRIBED. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY MOLD OR SMELL. I MAINTAIN IT AS SCHEDULED IN THE MANUAL TO AVOID THOSE TYPE OF PROBLEMS. IT USES FAR LESS WATER AND ENERGY THAN MY OLD WASHER. I SAY IT IS WORTH THE MONEY . IF YOU CAN - GET ONE TODAY."
