LG WT-H550 (5.5kg)

OK, there seems to be quite a polarised review opinion out there, perhaps partly due to divided consumer expectations, but also tending to suggest there may be an unreliable build quality on this machine.
My experience with this machine is absolutely excellent, does a great wash if you take the effort to understanding wash programming options.
It's true that the machine does tend to tangle clothes, but that has been my experience with every top loader I've owned over the years.
I'm 70 now so I've seen a few, but this LG has done a better job than many.
Only criticism is that cleaning the lint filters is fiddly and a bit of a pain in the bum.
My overall rating out of 10 is a solid 8, would I but another, absolutely YES

I am using this machine for now 3+ years. I really like how it cleans and rinse the laundry. This machine gives you option to customise according to your laundry weight and type. I like the tub clean and tub dry option. The machine is not noisy. i will recommend LG washing machine to others

i have been using L.G for the last 10 years, and i found it is quite reliable for the washing machine. I have never compared with other brands, but I am happy with L.G Washing machine's performance, as there is no issue at all. plus special offer in June at Binglee. Trust me, a good and reliable brand!

For the first year it was ok. Even though I used the clean tub cycle regularly, the sheets were all covered in lint. A few pieces of clothes were damaged, the machine broke down every year-first there was a motor failure, then it leaked a few times and now it literally broke down-the bottom part of the drum just fell off mid cycle damaging clothes, leaving water inside and this is a couple of weeks after I had a technician to fix the leak! LG team are not supportive, they just said they were sorry-that's all!!! When the machine has water stuck in it the only way you can drain it is to use a scoop! Will never go with LG again.

Do not buy this machine!! As the other reviews have stated: Brown scum left on cloths, Cloths are ripped after washing, Cloths knotted up in balls at the end of the wash. Yes we did used the tub wash cycle, made no difference cloths would come out dirtier than when they went in!!

This machine is absolutely everything I need! It cleans and rinses my clothes exceptionally well, all of my clothes have remained in a near new state with wearing out only coming from wear, it works quietly - I forget I've got it on until it beeps at the end of the cycle! The features are great - 10 different water levels, perfect for people like me who live alone and sometimes only need to wash 3 or 4 items of clothing.

This machine is a nightmare, puts gunk through your washing used sparingly by two elderly people - no work clothes filters cleaned after every use. Today we have spent 3 hours and $30 worth of citric acid vinegar and Sodium bicarbonate to no avail, I wish I could add a photo.

This machine leaves brown gunk on all of my clothes, LG is less than helpful, I have regularly done the tub clean, I have done the packet of bicarb and the 2 dishwasher tablets dissolved in hot water as advised by the company. This has been to on effect at all, I spoke to them this afternoon they now say that every week I need to do a large dummy hot water load with no clothes and a whole carton of citric acid. I have never heard of anything so ridiculous. I think that we should all take a class action against this useless product and dare I say obnoxious company who are not helpful.

In my last review, I said that this washer was great provided that you didn't use the Fuzzy cycle. After talking with a technician, it turned out the problem was not the machine, but the stupid manual; the trick is to program the machine in three steps: 1. Switch it on; 2. Set the program (Fuzzy, whatever); and then lastly 3. Change other settings to suit your mood. Bingo! The best washer ever! Just NEVER EVER change the program after changing another setting.

I used this machine about six times. the last time, I put on a load at 10 am and finally it finished at 5pm. It spent time slowly spinning and doing little. I couldn't get it to move to the next phase. It tangled all of the contents and ripped a sheet. It did this with a small load and a larger load. It doesn't put enough water in. It displayed an error notice frequently and stopped washing or whatever it was up to. The tech told me that the extension outlet pipe i had used was too small a diameter so I used a larger one which cured those problems. The 'quick wash' is incorrectly named. It is a 'light wash' suitable for two pairs of sox and undies. So you can't add water to it.
