LG WF-T8582

published

We have had our LG washer for 3 years now and it's been faithful. It's been used to wash diver's, heavy woollen blankets, sheets, delicates, clothing etc and is fairly gentle.
It's got several different cycles to match the type of clothes you are washing, you can modify most of these settings and delay a wash, extend soaking time etc. you even have the option for a quick 30 minute wash cycle. This is only for water level 1-4 though.
Most full washes are completed within an hour anyway. I love how it sings to me when the load is done, alerting me to needing to be hung out and continue my weekend cleaning.

Purchased in August 2021 at The Good Guys.

Crud service by LG and a very flimsy make of machine

published

Originally we had no problems with the machine until the lint filters fell apart in the first 12 months.
We contacted LG who replaced the filters no problem.
Now the same thing has happened again and LG have advised I'm now out of warranty so bad luck.

Considering how flimsy the filters are, I expected better product support and service from such a big company.



Don't buy this machine - it will just give you grief and expense!

Purchased in July 2021 at Harvey Norman for $699.00.

Worst washing machine

published

I have always had a top loader and wanted a bigger one. I liked that there is no agitator for larger items, such as blankets. Soon realised that his washing machine wasn't for me. I find me dark clothes always have fluff on them after washing even after cleaning filters. There are only two little filters half way up the inside of the machine that aren't effective enough. Often I do a load and noticed that the water level has not even reached the filters at all. I'm looking for another machine.

Great washing machine does all our washing in 1 load

published

Purchased this last year to replace our other front loader. Cleans our clothes to perfection every time. Plays chimes to let you know at what stage the wash is at or if it’s finished. Has power and water save features. Big 8.5kgs means we can was all the dirty clothes at the same time instead of multiple loads

LG top loader warranty

published

I found this machine just borderline usefull. It broke down and called LG and the tech came out . apparently the drum had split. How it split they couldnt work it out. Finally the came back and said a 50 cent piece had gotten in and caused it. I find that curious. i have had screws and coins fallen in to other machines. and no issue. LG have told me we had to pay for the repairs. Now we have no proof that it was a coin that damaged it . joy

Lid broke after 5 months of use and LG Refuse to Repair Under Warrantee

published

Buyer beware with LG should the product break or stop working. I called to have my machine repaired under warrantee. I was told that it was my fault the lid was broken because I misused the machine. This was not the case i treated the machine with care. When the machine was working it did a good job, this is what is so frustrating.

Great product

published

We bought this new machine a few months ago since we had a new baby. This machine is working great and we love the big load as there are lots of baby clothes. It is not noisy like our last one which was a Westinghouse. It shows how long the load is going to take and how much water levels which I like.

Cloths come out tangled and in some instances shredded - Not fit for purpose - washing

published

The rinse and spin cycles are a disaster. Clothes come out a tangled and in some instances a shredded mess. Great if you only want to wear clothes once and then use for rags. This machine doesn't wear-out clothes it destroys them. We have no favourite features. I couldn't recommend our machine to anyone. Even when you try to set the computer cycle it almost always reverts to what it wants to do.

Wondering is anyone else thinks the rinse cycle is too short

published

Our machine only rinses for about 2 minutes, no matter what wash type we select, size of load, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? I know we can add extra rinses but we want to conserve water. LG say there is a sensor and so there is no starndars time for a rinse. Have used a Samsung that is similar and it rinsed for about 5 minutes.

Good, solid, reliable

Excellent washing and rinsing of loads. Loads of different cycle options. This is a no-frillls, solid washing machine that does the job and spins well without damaging clothing. We live at th beach and shake of towels first and leave on line overnight to avoid sand build up in the machine- it iis going well.

Good price and stylist

published

This LG model washing machine has a good price. Came with easy removable and easy to clean dirt after wash. The sound during washing can be considered loud especially if you have a small baby to put them to sleep and do laundry after that. Besides that love it! Still considering it’s very good price.

Easy to use

published

Always rinsed well and never had an issue with it wearing out our clothes. Quiet and only ever beeps when the cycle is finished. Love the options for delayed start. Fits my partners and my weeks worth of washing quite easily and have not had an issue at all. Family friends have the larger model and it's still going strong after years!
