Great top loader washer with agitator
washer_upgrade
12/22/2020
Im so glad LG made a top loader with an agitator. This model has a 4 way action where both the basket and agitator rotate to provide a great clean. There are lots of great features and cycles while being energy and water efficient. You may think that the sensing feature uses too little water but just try it out. the clothes come out clean and smelling great. If you want the classical full water fill then just select the deep wash cycle. Lots of temperature spin and washing settings to customize to your needs. Whats great is that you can download other specialized cycles and set the washer on the download feature. e.g. full load half loads whites etc. Just bought it last month so I still have to see how well this holds up over time but Im hopeful that it will last a long time. LG backs their motor for 10 years and we got 2 years extended warranty through the proactive LG care for free.

We have purchased this about a month ago and are pleased with its performance so far. Cleans clothes very well and cycle times are better that our previous front load washer. The only con is paying for something we will never use is the capability to use a app to control the machine. The only use that we can think of is it alerts you when the cycle is done but we can hear that because we would never let a washer run while we are away for obvious reasons.

We bought this washing machine couple weeks ago. Its beautiful the tub is huge and the glass top allows to watch the cycle. However its computerised and unfortunatelly you cant chose your own settings. The male designers should include women in designing.
We bought this machine couple weeks ago. Its beautiful the tub is huge and the glass top allows to watch the cycle. However its computerized and unfortunately you cant chose your own settings. Not practical. The male designers should include women in designing.
MY EXPERIENCE
CONTROL PANEL
TOO DARK dark letters on a black background. I have to use a flashlight to read the settings.
NORMAL cycle 1 hr
I had to put clothes first and then the machine filled the tub with ... not enough water. The water didnt cover the laundry. Clothes washed like in a mud pool and came out dirty wrinkled and with lint. Used this cycle only once and WONT USE IT AGAIN.
DEEP WASH 1 hr 18 min
This cycle is automatically selected when I select DEEP FILL*Max Fill. Its a long cycle takes 1 hr 18 min to do the laundry.
DELICATE
Only NO rinse or low rinse are available. I need a medium rinse. I have delicate light cotton and rayon clothes and like the delicate cycle but Low rinse leaves them too wet.
BEDDING
DEEP FILL not available with this cycle and the water doesnt cover the laundry. First time used and it torn my flat sheet. WONT USE IT AGAIN.
OVERALL
After trying all cycles I now use only 1 DEEP WASH with Deep Fill *Max plus Extra Rinse or 2 SPEED WASH in Special Care plus Deep Fill *Max plus Extra Rinse. Overall the cycles are TOO LONG. I dont like my light clothes being rubbed for over one hour.
I miss my 15-yr old basic Kenmore. It was much smaller but simple and I could chose any cycle and water level I wanted. In the last 15 years nothing ever got damaged during washing.
I suggest that the designers look into the raised parts on the bottom of the machine. Maybe they cause the laundry getting damaged.
I like the new LG washing machine but am not impressed with the limited choices I have. I hope it wont damage more laundry. I cant give 5 stars.

We love this washing machine It looks great and the tub is HUGE I washed a king size comforter in the first load just to see if I could and it had no issues fitting inside. It came out clean and the cycle was quicker than I thought it would be. It is also very quiet. I also like how when it spins out the clothes are not soaking wet.
It is much more efficient than my old top loader with both electricity and water. It has more bells and whistles than I could even have imagined. I love how it sends an alert to my phone when the wash is done in case I dont hear the ding.
If I had to mention a con it would be that my mother 52 needs a step stool to reach all the way down into the tub. So if your short you might not be able to reach. Otherwise it is fantastic

This washer does not know what lid is open means

I got the white version of this washing machine partly because of its clear glass good for elders. The stainless steel version of this washer has hard-to-see-through glass. White cheery gray creepy.
There is nothing dingier than a front-loading washer no matter what color. I got a top-loader.
AGITATOR vs. IMPELLER
An impeller is a pretend concept. I bought a washer with an agitator. An agitator is tried and true it has stood the test of time it is old-style old-world traditional. Old-fashioned is fine with me
The appliance industry male decision-makers is foisting impeller washers on homemakers. Women fall for it. Agitators evolved from washboards which in turn evolved from rocks in brooks and rivers. Impellers are clothes bumping into other clothes how would that result in clean clothes? Nobody can convince me that clothes-on-clothes is better than clothes-on-agitator aka clothes-on-rock.
As any woman knows new-and-improved is not always better often older is better. In washers old sticks to the basics and is reliable and predictable. In these Covid days who DOESNT want reliable and predictable?
THIS WASHER
It is odd that this washer wouldnt let me first fill the tub with water. The washer insisted I put clothes in first. The most basic cycle is Permanent-Press. I waited until the water filled the tub it took about 10 minutes then halted the washer waiting for the lid to unlock then putting the lid up open. One has only four minutes. Move fast. Using a long spoon I pushed the clothes down below the water line while getting a feel if the clothes are evenly distributed. If warranted I then add clothes. I dont touch buttons after that.
DEEP FILL 3 seconds = TWO LOADS
I was trained as a child to shove clothes under the waterline. So learning this new washer I had put clothes in but didnt overfill it. I set the dial to Deep Wash. I tapped the Deep Fill button the water filled with barely enough water which is the new-style way where the water did not cover the clothes. Not thrilled with the small amount of water. I let the load finish its cycle. My mistake was that I hadnt pressed the Deep Fill *asterisk Max for 3 seconds.
For all future loads I pressed the Deep Fill button *asterisk Max for three seconds the water fills the tub to its maximum. I like plenty of water. This setting washes the equivalent of two loads at a time. My dryer cant keep up which is the reason why I dont start a second washer load until everything is dry from the first load.
My geographical region has plenty of water where households dont need to ration/economize on water nor does our household pay extra for additional water. More water = clean. To each his own.
I LOATHE-DESPISE-HATE THIS CHARACTERISTIC
There is one thing I loathe-despise-hate about this washer. LG calls it a feature I call it a defect. I loaded the washer on the dial Deep Fill button Deep Fill *Max with my estimate of the amount of clothes for that load. I invariably put in too few. I pushed the HOLD button and lifted the lid. Lifting the lid from time immemorial since washers were invented a hundred years ago means stop everything. I traipsed around the house locating suitable clothing to add to the load I went upstairs twice. I forgot all about the four minutes. Even with the LID UP the washer proceeded to automatically drain the water I started screaming Why is the washer draining? I was hysterical. All I did was take five minutes to retrieve more clothes arrgh This draining is insanity because it takes the control out of the hands of the person doing the wash. It must have been men who designed this because women know what lid that is in the up position means.
I cant give this washer five stars.
If LG rejects this review I wont be back.

Mega Clean

This washer bills itself as mega capacity and it truly is even though it doesnt take more space than my prior washer which was basic and had mini capacity in comparison. This is more durable powerful efficient and much quieter. But most important it gets clothes cleaner. We are ecstatic with this product.

Excellent Convenient Washer

I absolutely love my LG Smart Wi-Fi Enabled Top Loading Washing machine with Agitator and TurboWash3D. Ive been using the washer for about two weeks now and it absolutely blows my old washing machine out of the water no pun intended. I would never not get a Smart washing machine ever again. The washing machine has pre-set settings or you can program it to do whatever you want not to mention that its completely touch screen I think its cool that the washing machine has an app which is helpful for when I want to set it and forget it because the app reminds you when your load is completed. The machine automatically decides on its own how large your load is and how much water to add. The tray for putting the detergent and fabric softener is way better than putting the soaps into the water. The washing machine also plays a fun little song when your laundry is finished My only complaint about the washing machine is that you cant wash individual items. If the machine senses that the load is too light it will give you an error code until the laundry is heavy enough. I often need to wash individual articles of clothing due to my line of work. Im hoping that this is something that I will eventually figure out or be able to eventually learn to override but for now this is my only complaint about the washer. I would completely recommend the LG washer to anyone looking for a new washing machine. As it is leagues better than my old washing machine that I loved prior to getting the LG washer. The washer is made with quality and performs quality washes and I will therefore be looking at LG washers from now on.
