Washing Machines Buying Guide
Our buying guide will explain which type of washing machine would suit you most, how much you can expect to pay for one, and which features are worth looking out for.
Brown Algae
Terrible machine. I have had this Brown Algae for years. It arrived 6 months after purchasing the machine. Given up on washing whites over and over again. Doesn't matter how many times I clean this machine it never goes away. You do a tub wash and bits are all through the water. Its the biggest piece of crap I have ever bought and at $1000 it wasn't cheap. I will never buy an LG product again. Got used of shaking my washing when dry which seams to remove alot if it. Alot of items I wash in bags but it still gets in. NO Stars whatsoever.
Purchased in June 2021 at Harvey Norman for $1,000.00.

Motherboard keeps breaking down
I have always been happy with this machine however after 5 years, I had 3 major electronic issues. On two occasions the sensor that senses the lid is closed malfunctioned requiring expensive repairs. Parts are only under warranty for 90 days! After spending the cost of the machine in 3 repairs, I have given up and purchased a new machine.

Can't wait to get rid of it!
When I bought this machine almost 8 years ago, initially for the first two years it was great. After that I had so many problems. Lint on clothes, Tangled clothes, dirty clothes, destroyed clothes, you name it... I am getting rid of it soon and so looking forward to that!

Perfect for growing family
Does as well as can be expected. Love that I can chuck the clothes in and it will automatically work out the water level. No excessive water usage this way. Can set a timer so clothes are ready to hang out when I wake up (or put in dryer if weather is wet). Relatively quiet machine. Large capacity.

Perfect
It works great, no complaints whatsoever. White, color and blacks. Really happy with the machine as is. Superb water use which is really important to me. Don't understand all bad reviews. Maybe because we only use for small wash. Very good machine for us so far no problems untill this day

MAKES CLOTHES A TANGLED MESS. Damages stretch fabrics
Had this machine for 2 years now. Be aware it will tangle all your clothes into huge tangles up balls and a stretched out mess, pant legs stretched arms of tops stretched. I can't put a whole load of washing in wash bags to protect it from getting tangled. I will never buy a washing machine without an agitator ever again. Now I use it as a second machine for large blankets sheets quilts etc, not recommended for actual clothes due to the tangle problem. Also it sometimes just stops mid cycle and shuts down.

Shud down mid cycle - i will never purchase any LG brand item in my live again
This are the worse items I have purchased in my lifetime - 10 year warranty are a fake. power cut off mid cycle. with no help or after sale support. The reason it's discontinued because it have so many factory faults that LG are not willing to deal with. Don't ever purchase LG

Shreds all my clothes, leaves them dirty
Pure trash. It's ruined hundreds of dollars of clothing and leaves the scraps covered in lint and brown marks. Now I need to replace the washer, as well as all my clothing. Thanks a whole bunch LG, it's wonderful to pay exorbitant amounts of money for a machine that destroys my other belongings. Can't wait for the $2000 vacuum that presumably drags animal waste or rotted food across my carpets in accordance with LG's constant strides in improving their home-destroying appliances.

Not happy
Not happy with this machine it leaves white lint on the dark clothes & brown flakes on he whites. Always have to top the water level up as it doesn't seem to fill up over the clothes to wash properly. I have also noticed some holes in my t-shirts. I like the quick wash function for a small load and it is a nice looking machine but I definitely won't be buying one like this again.

Won't ever purchase LG thanks to this expensive junkbox.
We bought this machine about 5 years ago, to replace our failed "Hitachi" 9KG machine (10 years old).
* The "Fuzzy" / smart wash, never adds enough water and therefore the clothes always have undissolved washing powder over them. Regardless if you used the dedicated detergent dispenser or not.
* The internal lint filters don't seem to actually do anything, as they take months to actually get lint in them. All your clothes ALWAYS have extra fluff as well as detergent.
* It loves to destroy any singlets, or shorts with strings in th...Read more
em. They get tied in massive knots, and many times have just torn them, so clothing gets thrown out. About the only good thing about it is it looks pretty. It cost us over $1000, and literally destroys clothing. We just got a quote to replace all the aircons in our house, we told the quoting companies not to even bother listing any LG products. As I mentioned, we will NEVER purchase anything LG again because of this useless machine.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Worst Machine / Worst Customer Service Support, Stay away from LG products
Purchsed the LG Washing machine only 6 years ago, for $1000. The machine failed 7 weeks ago, I immediately contacted LG who referred me to local service centre. They came out about a week later, found a fuse module needed replacement, had to order this, two week later they came back and $200 later, then found a failed computer. Three days later a quote came back for $330 in addition to the $200 already spent, with no guarantee of a fix. I then commenced contact with LG, almost daily over the next three weeks, On numerous times "This has been pa...Read more
ssed onto a case manager and you will be called back in 24 to 48 hours", not once was I contacted back directly from LG. Spoke to a senior case manager, who advised they could not help, however it was evident that he had not reviewed the case and advised he would re- review and definitely call back tomorrow. Again I had to call LG back as I was not contacted directly. LG finally provided a decision after three weeks of constant contact. "Sorry LG has reviewed this and cannot assist". Don't buy LG products, poor quality, terrible customer support.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Customer service and warranties
Bought the machine 6 years ago and took out an extended warranty for 5 years. Long and short story is that after 6 years it is not usable without replacing parts and LG don't want to know about it.
The motor has a 10 year warranty but the machine seems to be designed to not last 10 years.
LG only guarantee their products will last for the duration of their warranty..... 2 years. Why would you ever spend $1000 on their products? I won't again.

Wow worst machine EVER
This machine would be great if its sole purpose would be to make your clothes dirty. I have had the machine for almost 3 years and I have never used a machine that is so bad. It leaves dirty brown marks and the washing powder on my clothes. Well truly a waste of money!

The worst machine I have ever owned.
Total disappointment. Was to be the last machine I would need. Worst feature is that it ties the clothes in knots during the wash cycle, so does not rinse properly. Sludge left on clothes. I have owned different machines over 50years and this is the worst. Can't sell it. Giving it away.

A Complete Disaster
I have this LG washing machine for a year now and it does not serve the purpose of washing the clothes properly. Bought this in Goodguys, saying it had the great features with a 9.5 kg of load. Tried experimenting different brand of laundry (powder & liquid) still the clothes lint are there and worst of all some clothes are not even wet (which means it was not washed at all). My mother is keep on saying to me every weekend "when are we going to change the washing machine and don't buy LG". Never again with LG...LIFE is not so GOOD...grrrr

The Worst I have used
This washing machine has been the worst washing machine I have used. I am a husband who spent most of my working career in the Armed Services and have been tasked with the chore of clothes washing for the past forty years. Having used a variety of machines and replacing our last machine, a Cleanmaid, With this machine I couldn't be more disappointed. It never cleans the clothes properly, adding extra water helps but never cleans as an agitator machine does. Rinse cycle does not extract detergents and requires a second rinse. Two weeks out of w...Read more
arranty the gearbox died. After some fairly lengthy discussions with LG the agreed to replace the parts and I would pickup labor costs. Now the machine spin dry has died. I will not spend money on this machine so will replace after five years of just my wife and me using the machine on average wash of once a week. Our Cleanmaid lasted 25 years while raising our two children with only one repair a switch replacement which I purchased and did my self, both machines cost a similar amount when purchased. You have lost me L.G.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

If your machine still in warranty contact LG i am sorry I dont have any knowledge with your model. But would sell and not by another LG as so expensive to fix if out of warranty they are lemons about time LG sorted out our problems as so unhelpful in customer service
