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
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
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.

Takes a bit of getting to know
Cleans well & spins out very well if set to Ultra. There are many different settings/combinations & it is worth while experimenting a little with these to discover the best wash for different items .It does not appear to be too hard on the clothes & is reasonable quiet. Takes big, thick quilts & washes them well. No agitator means items are easy to place into & remove from the drum.
No filter I believe results in occasionally some fine fluff being left where clothing has been folded during final spin.
If it cannot spin due to the washing bei...Read more

Solid machine.
This is a good machine, I am happy with our purchase, does big loads without any problems. Never gone off balance. Has a tub clean feature which is excellent, easy to access and clean filters (which was a feature I needed after a terrible previous machine's filter broke and was unable to be emptied). The tub dry is great, i put heavy loads to slin for an hour and it saves line dry time and saves things ending up in the drier as much. The delay start is awesome, i love being able to set the wash and hang it out first up in the morning. My only n...Read more
egatives is that i wish i could soak longer than an hour and also i have to wait for the end of the spin cycle to use the tub dry feature, you can't just make it spin for an hour at the end of the rinse, its a separate manual thing you have to do. Would recommend.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

A nessasative.
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....
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.

Very modern
We have had this machine for 3 months and is performing very well. Our clothes are cleaned and treated gently in the new agitation action. Fully automated just set and forget, it is so quiet and effective we can go off and do other tasks. With our normal washes being smaller loads the "quick wash" setting only takes 38 minutes however with larger washes you can set for larger water and longer spin cycles. We use the quick cycle and for jeans and heavier items we add additional spin pressure to get that extra water out so they dry quicker. We on...Read more
ly like top loaders as our family have front loaders and find them less effective and less efficient when we use them. Our policy is to have an environmentally efficient house so this machine with controlled water level and short cycles automatically determined by weight of the wash is a great advantage and fits our requirements.Similar opinion?

Highly Recommend this fast efficient machine
When I first used this 8.5 kg machine i repeatedly checked it to see if it was working as it was just so quiet. The clothes don't tangle as in my last machine. It also automatically fills the water to the right level for the clothes and so saves on water. I was apprehensive when buying this machine as it doesn't have a large agitator in the centre of the machine but the wash is A grade and it is so simple to clean the 2 small filters. I am so happy with the performance of this machine and although it has several settings I just set it to Fuzzy ...Read more
and it does the job well. I would highly recommend this machine and I purchased it on sale for $813 which included 6 year extended warranty and removal of old machine and packaging by the friendly professional J.B.HI FI Team at KotaraSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

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.
