Awesome

published

Great machine. Paid $578 on sale and it is a bargain. Don't think my clothes have ever been so clean. It is quiet and has a huge amount functionality. I prefer to just set and forget with the 'Fuzzy' function which weighs the load and then goes about its wash cycle - but the amount of cycle options is endless.

Fantastic machine, very quiet

published

It is a well balanced machine, it is very quiet and washes clothes very gently. I love that it does not have the agitator int he middle and also has many programmed settings suitable for all washing types and cycles. Can fit a great load of washing at one time, highly recommended for a 4-5 person family.

Very happy with this machine

published

Had the Fisher and Paykel top loader for over 10 years. Did very well. For the price, this machine does all it is asked, quite and washes well. Not sure why people are complaining about lint - no problem here. Seems to be a bit more economical as well and does not crunch up the clothes.

Furious, wish I had read some reviews before purchasing this machine.

published

There is no lint filter and when washing large items e.g.sheets, they come out covered in brown sediment. White sheets have brown streaks all over them and black sheets are covered in white streaks. Wash cycle is far too long and the depth if the drum is so deep you almost end up on your head retrieving small items.

Don't waste your money!

published

There is no filter so clothing is covered in lint, and the clothes wash unevenly. Nothing works - less detergent, more detergent; less water, more water etc. etc.

For 30+ years we had Simpson machines and they were faultless. We were persuaded to LG by the staff at Harvey Norman (good marketing!). This is an expensive machine which doesn't do the job.

Would not recommend

published

Very disappointing, poor quality wash, Clothes & Linen come out dirtier than they go in. Read instruction, checked detergent levels & used quality products but end results are poor, Clothes also come out in one big tangle! 35 Years experience washing for a large family never had this experience. After sales support from LG & supplier goes with the quality of wash. POOR.

Great Machine

published

Had the machine for 3 months now no problem so far, purchased this washer to replace my 10 year old washer that had given up.Was hesitant buying LG however a friend of mine has an LG washes everyday for a family of 5 never had a problem so I bought it. Very happy the way the clothes come from the machine they seem to be a lot cleaner than my previous machine.
My only complaint is the drum on this machine is deep and I have trouble getting the washing from the bottom, I have back problems but this is the only issue I have
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this machine

Life's good with this machine

published

Purchased this machine 6 months ago and have had no problems with it. It's easy to use, washes the clothes well without being harsh on them and you hardly know that it is going from a noise perspective. When purchased there was a promotional money back offer, this was easy to complete and they sent a gift card to me as promised. Pleasure to do business with this manufacturer and supplier.

Does not clean as well as old washing machine
Water levels appear to be hit and miss
Control panel is too sensitive
No lint filter but is supposed to clear lint though rinse cycle which is not effective
Wash cycle times seem overly long
This is the worst washing macine i have ever purchased and would take it back for a refund if i could. Extremely disappointed to say the least.

Sturdy Workhorse

published

Our machine has washed extremely dirty clothes from when my wife worked on the farm. The mud & gunk came out every time so after each onslaught had to clean the filters (which was easy) and wash the tub ready for Normal Clothes. Its easy to use just set on fuzzy and check cold,warm or Hot wash and adjust water levels to conserve water.

Good product

published

Have had this one for a month now and it goes very well. It replaced a German-made front loader that we had for about 9 years before it died. Salesman said 9 years is about as much as you get out of a washing machine these days. I'm hoping to get a good life out of this one. The 8.5kg drum has no agitator, but washes just fine. The bonus is that it is much easier to get bedspreads and other bulky items in and out. For those who are hillbillies like us you will need to fit some snake mesh underneath it to keep vermin and slithering nasties out of the underside.

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.
