The Wife loves it
At first she was a little disappointed but by the 3rd load she was happy,
its plenty big enough for a queen size blanket
it spins out heavy blankets nearly dry and has never had the speed wobles up yet
very quiet operating, seems to get the clothes a lot cleaner for less powder.
allup very happy with it indeed.

easy to use
It is easy to use and washes great. It has a large tub with good features and can load heavy weights perfectly. See-through lid is beautiful. It handles well, both blankets and delegate clothes. You can choose the water level which is great and water efficient. I'm satisfied with this machine and highly recommend it.

Excellent washing
Favourite features of LG washing machine are the ease of use, effective washing, easy to clean and turbo drum is quiet.
See through lid, smart sensor makes an easy job even easier, looks good and performs even better.
Totally satisfied, it was recommended to me by a friend and I totally recommend it too.

Great!
Washes great, not hard on clothes. Easy to clean. Has great features & is quiet.
Large tub can handle larger loads. Only do two washes a week now instead of 5. Has a great range of washing programmes & you can set an easy fuzzy wash that sorts it all out for you. Smart.

I like my washing machine.
You can wash small amount of clothes and also blankets. Quick washing is less than half hour. Air dry takes a bit longer but the clothes get dry so fast. It's great that you can choose water level, washing time, times of rinse. It's not noisy but I can hear when it's finishing.

This is a fantastic washing machine
It a great warrior washing very quiet for a top loader. Didn't realise how much my old machine didn't wash the clothes properly as when we started using this one the amount of dirt that came out of the clothes was amazing would recommend this to anyone as this is one of the best washing machines I have used

Best Machine Ever
This machine is absolutely fantastic,being a smart machine is out of this world press the start button select the wash and it calculates the time of the load dependant on the weight of the wash. So many options to chose from, easy to use, huge drum. Quality product, our family wouldnt be without it, very impressed with this purchase.

Happy With This Washer
This replaced and ancient Simpson top-loader and I couldn't be happier with it. It is so easy to use and quite when running. It has very well thought out and easy to understand electronic programs and the best bit: a glass top so you can see exactly what is happening inside. It cleans beautifully and it fairly water efficient for a top loader. I recommend this product.

Great modern washer
Purchased this from JB Hi-fi after my old washing machine of about 8 years broke and this has been a great replacement. It's not noisy and hardly moves when in use. I found the controls really easy to understand which is really handy when you're putting in different types of clothes in for a wash. The glass panel at the top makes it really modern looking and it's quite sturdy. This is important because I've dropped things on it by accident a few times and it's been fine.

Modern washer
I am very happy with my new LG. It is great that it has a clear lid so that I can see what is going on. We don't have really dirty clothes so not sure how it would work on those but for us seniors, it is great. It's easy to use - just read the manual, press a few buttons and away it goes.

Good
I bought this washing machine in 2015. This is a very good washing machine. I absolutely love this machine. It's quiet, has every cycle you could need and the glass lid is a stylish little feature that separates it from similar machines. I have been using it for more than 2 years, it is working fine

A great machinet.
A great machine with a good 8.5 Kg capacity. Very quiet and enough programs and variations to suit just about all requirements. My wife does find it very difficult to remove the lint filters to clean them. This certainly needs looking at. Like all LG products (and there are many) that we have purchased, the build quality is excellent. The two year full warranty on the product is also an excellent feature.

Questions & Answers
John Pasked
John. We have had this about 18 mths. Goes OK but clothes sometimes end up with dirty grime marks on them - obviously from washing detergent build-up in unaccessable areas behind the bowl.
We empty the lint filters every wash, and have done hot bowl washes with the proper WM cleaner product etc. Still does it.
Very frustrating on white shirts, sheets etc.

I have exactly the same problem. Contacted LG Customer service/support chat online got sent a couple of emails about scrud and lint. Still same problems so contacted LG by phone and a technician came out. HIs report stated no fault with washine machine must be operational fault. I followed the manual quide for detergent and softner usuage and frequent tub clean. They would not suggest a specific product to use for washing so I have now not used detergent or softner in my washing for over 3months and am still having the same dirty marks on my clothes. They still refuse to accept that it is a machine fault. Technicain require me to pay for call out as the warranty is now null and void. I have never had a washing machine that requires a tub clean after 10-12 washes. Or that cannot tolerate a tablespoon of liquid washing detergent diluted in a cup of water. Would never recommend an LG product ever again. Currently making complaint with department of fair trading and getting in tough with a current affairs. Customer service is disgraceful. :-( :-(.

Should there be any water left in the drum after final spin?
It is not visible but you can hear it in there.
