Poor quality

published

I have only had the machine for not even one year and when put on automatic fill it never goes past level four. Have e-mailed company several times with responses of you will need to select fill option you require. I have informed them I did not pay for a machine that I need to stand and manually enter functions and I would of brought a machine half the price if this was the case. I will never purchase a machine from this company again. No wonder it was discontinued

Purchased in September 2021 at The Good Guys for $899.00.

Hate it!l

published

We've had this washing machine for 3 years now and it's been horrible pretty much the whole time. It's ruined so many clothes by leaving black marks on them. I've done numerous tub cleans and it makes no difference. I've contacted the company a few times now and they say it's not their fault but mine. Really not impressed and i will not buy lg again. Can't afford a new washer so am stuck with this piece of junk

Not a fan of LG but this washer is good

published

We're not a fan of LG products but we bought this cloths washer because it was on sale and had a nice display panel. Loads of cloth options and also huge amount of room for super large baggy cloths or bed sheets and blankets or if like us you have a large family it takes a huge load.

An ok washing machine - if you like lint

published

This attractive looking machine stands proudly in the store with a great big stick on its front stating its fantastic for lint removal. Um, yeah not its not. Nicce to look at, reasonably quiet and has most cycles and features you'd expect from a washing machine designed for a big family. On the downside not only is it crap at removing lint with its monstrous size lint filters, but im starting to think it might actually have a secret lint making compartment. You'll never wear black again.

Worst machine I’ve ever had!

Quite nice and quick

published

It’s top-lead washing machine.
We used to front-door washign machine but it wasn’t cleaner than top-lead washing machine.
It’s quite quick and we can get quite nice result.
I just used to use standard course (cotton and quick)
It’s not loud and it doesn’t disturb my other tasks.
It’s capacity is 9.5kg so we can wash our blankets and a lot of laundry.
I think our family love this washing machine.

Good

I have owned 2 LG top loaders. It's working well after 5 years and I absolutely love the quick wash fuction which only takes 30 minutes. And I used the quick wash a lot because I have a little one why I do the washing in a daily basis. Highly recommended

Fantastic washer

published

Wash’s great need to use quick wash as the Cotten wash takes over 2 hours. It’s very quiet and only beeps a short time when finished. I love the extra air dry feature so your clothes don’t take a long time to dry. I love that you can fit a large blanket in it and it will be washed

clothes are crushed

published

the clothes get cleaned ok but unless you increase the water level, they come out all crushed. It is simple to use and sometimes the clothes still have marks on them, but that could be my detergent. Today it is very hard to find a washing machine that rates as good as the old ones and lasts as long.

Good size washer with quick washing feature

published

Good washing Machine, I feel like my clothes are coming out much cleaner then with my previous model. Machine is quiet, easy to use. I really like that it has a quick wash option that still actually washes my clothes well. Also the 9.5kg is a great size for a family.

Worst purchase ever

published

Wish I had checked the reviews before purchasing this machine. Worst purchase we have ever made. 2 major issues
1. Clothes come out with white residue/lint no matter what we do. We have tried all options as advised by customer service ie: changing type of powder used, manually selecting water levels and running numerous rinse cycles. Have run numerous tub clean cycles but the problem persists
2. LG customer service is non existent. After numerous calls and wasting time being placed on hold the best that LG could do was to ask us to send a photo of the clothes after a wash showing the residue/lint that is left behind and email that to them

No, I dont have this problem at all. We do separate loads for towels, dark and light colours etc and I put items like stockings and bras into lingerie bags (most likely to tangle). No issue with lint either.

Yes- all of those problems- and more!! I am so disappointed with this machine- I have had many over ny lifetime, this is the worst!! And I can't afford another one!!
I cannot go anywhere when I 'try' to wash, as it does not finish a cycle without frustrating problems.- read my review.
so I emphasise with you, this machine wasn't cheap, and it's an absolute DUD!!

I can't seem to change the water temp for the Delicate Cycle. Also for a warm wash I press both hot & cold buttons because I don't have a warm option but it just seems to stay at the cold temp. Can anyone help me with this?

Maybe you should adjust the hot and cold taps to the temperature you need first.
