Dont buy dont buy!!!!!

The machine is worthless, a lot of LINT issues. Also Support is terrible, they give you the run around and avoid any form of refund. Spent ages trying to trouble shoot, where the problem is the LG brand itself. The product has false advertising about auto lint removal! LG should be fine for false advertising and support goes to the Philippines where they don't care or respect their customer.

Great washing machine

published

The washing machine is huge it fits in a lot of clothes and washes them excellently every time. It is a tad noisy when on spin mode but it’s better then my old washing machine. It’s has many different modes to use. I have never used it on hot so don’t know how it goes with shrinking clothes.

Machine for son - good choice

published

Another item of necessary household equipment that my son needed when he moved out of home. He appears to be very happy with the overall performance except he told me it doesn't load the clothes nor hang them out to dry... This is something all sons realise when they leave home..... His clothes appear to be cleaned well - not always ironed correctly, but that's another issue. Overall, very happy.

A nessasative.

published

Wasn’t happy at first just not used to no middle washing device as this doesn’t have that but now that I’ve worked out all the different washing cycles I love it
Does get quite dirty around the rim of the tub and needs regular cleaning but I don’t mind as I always keep my stuff clean
It is gentle on the clothes providing your using the right cycle
Has smart phone technology for logistic issues which is handy if any problems do arise
It big too bad in the noise level.

Great washing machine But....

published

This is a great washing machine, washes clothes really good But it doesn't have a lint filter and leaves lint all over the clothes once washed .. I have reduced this by raising the water levels so far so good only other thing is I'm quite tall and yet I still can't quite reach the bottom of the tub maybe some will require a small step..

Great machine.

published

Cleans and rinses clothes well, nice quiet machine good size. Fits plenty of items inside plus plenty of wash options. The only thing I don't like is that there is no lint filter but clothes do not come out covered in lint. Would definitely purchase this washing machine again. Happy customer.

Great machine

published

This is a great machine,
However I am quite short at 5' 2" tall and have to use tongs to get the washing out of the bottom of the machine.
It is easy to wash doonas and blankets because it doesn't have an agitator.
It washes very well.
I did have a problem with the lid when it was 5 months old.
However LG were very quick and courteous with their response and replaced the lid promptly and without question.
Thanks LG for great after sale service.

Perfect and user friendly

published

I swapped from a front loader to this LG machine and I love it. No more bending over and it is comparable in both power and water usage to my old machine. My washing comes out beautifully clean, even my husbands oily work clothes are spotless after washing. I love this machine and wish I had bought one earlier.

Perfect for a big family

published

This washing machine is great for our family of 4. It fits a huge load and cleans very well. I use my machine regularly with 2 small children in cloth nappies so having a quiet machine is great. The only down side is it does tend to leave lint on the clothes but I have found this can be fixed by upping the water level manually. It's very easy to use and good value for money.

washes well BUT leaves LINT behind

published

Washes and cleans clothes very well, it is very quiet, rinses out washing well which cuts down drying time, I like the jingle at the end of cycle.Plenty of settings to chose from depending on your washing needs. The main problem i have with this machine is the fact that it LEAVES LINT all over the washing which is annoying and time consuming plucking it off my clothes. I wouldn't bye this machine again.

Leaves Lint Everywhere

published

This machine leaves lint all over your clothes, checked the instructions, no lint-filter to be cleaned or any other user issue. I've owned 4 washing machines previously, all cheaper than this one and none of them had a lint problem.

The machine has a smart start system which is nice but generally defaults to 1.25 hour cycles, a little long for my liking.

Would not recommend this product.

Great machine, better than my last front loader.

published

Great machine, cleans dirty clothes very well and rinses thoroughly. Quiet and efficient with easy to use control and start buttons. I like the glass top and the ability to throw clothes in after starting the wash. I like the beeping at the end to advise me the washing is finished.

It does its job well

published

Top load machine is usually the choice if you have elder living with you. They don't have to bend to grab the clothes. The machine is quiet to my surprise and looks decent as well. It is also a little bit bigger than I expected but given its washing capability it is ok. Compared with a front load one I'd still recommend a front load one if you are willing to pay $200 more

Great belt less drive machine

published

This is the best ever machine I have purchased. It is quiet and you can fit a good load in since it does not have a centre peace spinner that takes up all the room and being direct drive it will last a lot longer. For the price it is far the best on the market

pretty impressed

published

only had the machine for 2 months

Love the delay feature. When you forget to do washing til bed time, you can just preset it and come home from work the next with the run just finished and ready to go on the line. no more sitting in the machine for 18h and needing to be rinsed again.

We find the clothes come out pretty dry. Havent used the airdry feature yet as it is for 2kg max, which seems oddly small for an 8.5kg machine. would take 4 batches to do a complete load

You do have to empty the lint filter basically every 2 runs or you will end up with lint on your clothes.

Nice and quiet, and love that you can opt to use less water if you want.

Absolute rubbish

published

What a load of lint that's what this machine is. I am so upset that my daughter and I bought the same machine and she has the same problem. I want to wash my clothes not sit there for half the day trying to remove lint from all the clothes and then if you use the Cotton Wash cycle which is normal cycle use it if you want all your clothes to look like they'd been sitting in a really hot sun all day all dried out terrible and upsetting it's a load of crap don't buy one you'll be sorry. I had an lg before this one and it was great so I decided when it went down it was time for new one NEVER AGAIN.

WTG8532WH (8.5kg)

Hi we have the LG WTG8532WH machine, the amount of lint on our washing is ridiculous, this is the worst washing machine we have bought, we have cleaned the inlet filters and the lower drain plug filter, which is being done weekly, we do the tub clean monthly but nothing is working, we are still getting lint on our washing, the washing machine has on it filter free symbol, how do clean this washing machine out and stop the lint covering our washing, not a happy LG customer, maybe consumer affairs can help us as the washing machine isn’t performing correctly, NOT HAPPY LG IN YOUR PRODUCT

Looks like alot of people with this 8.5kg model are reporting a lint problem. I guess it is not scrud (which is caused by soap powder build up with cold washes). Scrud can get on clothes. I always warm wash to prevent scrud. If it is lint then I guess if the machine is not working in this dept. Only way is to wash lint type items together e.g. towels and other items separately. I have had a terrible run with several LG WTG7532W (7.5kg). No lint problem but repeat DE faults on lid caused by either the magnets or hinges. No help at all from LG. call centre.. They do not care about their customers or faulty products at all.
