Decent wash but with a downside
This washer does do a good job and clothes are cleaned well, but the big disadvantage for us living on tank water is that it weighs the load before it decides how much water to use. This means that any wet clothes that you might have had soaking, or very damp towels, make it use more water. It also means that you can't tip in buckets of water collected as the shower heats up. You can adjust it to a manual wash but I have to get the manual out every time to do this. Plus it makes you do a tub clean occasionally which uses water. I just wish it didn't decide water usage on its own.

Lint lint and more lint
Bought this machine 2 January this year and am nothing but problems with lint deposited on everything.
I can wash say towels one day, and even 3 washes later, lint from towels is deposited on my clothes.
LG want me to pay to have a tech come out and inspect the machine and if it is faulty, they will give me a remedy.
I refused - told them that if there was no manufacturing defect, then it proves the machine is crap - and I will take it back to the store and say it's not fit for purpose and get a refund.
This may turn out to be a long process, but judging from comments here, I'm not alone with a lint problem so it's an issue and LG would be aware of it.

LG WASHING MACHINE
This top loading machine is performing well and very quiet. It has many water levels and washing cycles to choose. The normal cycle is very long so I ussualy chose the quick wash. One problem with the machine is that the machine is very deep you have to make sure that you are comfortable to reach the cloths at the end before you buy the machine.

As per Zoso I also called to have my machine's glass lid fixed under warranty and was told I had misused the washer. I called Consumer Affairs who said the words 'safe' and 'durable'. Their glass lids are clearly not durable!. I will continue my demand for a free replacement. I rated this company policy as 'terrible' but the machine itself is in my opinion excellent.

Impressed
To get the only negative out of the way quickly unless you are over 170cm tall it is hard to reach the bottom of the wash tub.
However positives are that there is no agitator so it can take large items like pillows or duvets reasonably easily and do a good cleaning job. Lots of functions which are easy to set and change to your requirements.
I like the clear glass lid so you can see what is going on.
After having had a F&P for 15 years I was anxious changing brands but to this point in time no complaints.

Great. Really happy with this top loader LG washing machine
Really happy with this purchase. Very quiet and has a glass lid that you can see through. Auto weighs the load and selects the water level (you can adjust it if you need to). You can also add items in after its started which is really handy. I like that it doesn't have an agitator, and haven't had any problems at all with clothes getting tangled up (I do use a lingerie bag for stockings and other delicates though). I find it a little bit small to be able to fit a queen size doona cover plus a full queen sheet set and pillowcases all together in one load. Otherwise very happy with the 7.5kg size. Very happy with the way the clothes come out. Clean, no stains from any build up etc. I'd happily recommend to friends and family.

Can't wash waterproof or water resistant items
Washes ok, not particularly good or bad. Does seem to leave lint all over the clothes and doesn't leave them very dry after the spin cycle. The machine also can leak if not set to the right angle (not actually level) as spray during the rinse cycle can bounce off drum and down the inside of the machine on to the floor. Most disappointed to discover that the manual cautions you to never wash any waterproof or water resistant items in the machine. So no parkas, mattress protectors, ski clothing ... Pretty useless.

This is the worst washing machine I have ever had!!
I have had MANY washing machines over my life- this is the most expensive and the WORST!
-- Does NOT wash cleanly, leaves lint all over clothes, does NOT go through spin cycle,- off balance! NO short- quick cycle. 55 mins, and only allows low water level. Disgraceful!! Also- bowl too deep for normal people!
AND- twists clothes up- I cannot afford another machine- I am stuck with this!!
it does not allow for manual override of settings, so there is NO control of this machine.
I have to stay close by to watch - as spin cycle stops, and starts filling water again, which is not good, especially on tank water.
sometimes 1 load of washing can take 2-3 hours!! This is SO frustrating and disappointing!!!

Great Washing Machine
This machine is fantastic. Cleans clothes beautifully without tangling them. Also very quiet to run. The only issue I have is the length of the cycles. I have had an LG prior to this one and decided they are such good machines that I would purchase only LG this time.

Worst machine I’ve ever had!
Recommended tub cleans 5 hours! Filter at the back on bottom of machine. Lint on clothes! Worst machine ever. LG spokesman said they could send me some troubleshooting ideas! Very disappointed. Would never recommend this machine to anyone. Even the cycles go fircway too long ... never again.

Reliable and Clean
A sturdy washing machine that cleans and rinse well! We wash our clothes and baby clothes separately. So far, everything has been holding up well. In terms of loudness, it is as loud/quiet as any other washing machine, I think. However, there are times when we wish the wash cycle can be quicker because time management is so important with newborns in the family.

Heap of trash, not worth two bob.
Filter on bottom back of machine making it hard to get to. Even after cleaning filter clothes are still covered in fluff. When washing clothes it hardly even moves so I don’t think they are getting washed properly. Going back to a front loader. A lot easier to use and get a cleaner wash with no fluff.

Love this thing!
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this washing machine!
After seven years of despising my front loader, I was adamant that when the piece of junk finally died I would return to a top loader. Having no experience with a top loader with no agitator, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. However, so far I am stoked with the results. My clothes haven’t felt this clean in years. It evens cleans smelly old dog blankets to the point that there isn’t so much as a whiff of that gross doggy smell. The capacity is also large enough to handle queen sized doonas...Read more
without any dramas. This machine is quiet enough that I can do loads at any time of the day or night without disturbing anyone (important when you like to wash at midnight and live in an apartment complex). The song that plays at the end of a load is also relatively quiet and only plays once (a big plus for me). My only gripe is that there is no wool cycle which is annoying as hell but that was my bad for not paying attention to the various cycles in the specifications. I simply just wash my woollens on a warm cycle without the rinse cycle and then hand rinse in warm water. Also, to the people who have experienced tangling, I would suggest increasing the water level on the load. I have only ever experienced tangling when I’ve tried to be stingy with the water levels. When I am a little more generous with said levels, I don’t get the tangles. As always, Appliances Online made for a fantastic buying experience.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Quite nice and quick
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 value for money
The slow release lip function is great. It is quiet and clean. The circular hard filters are also easy to clean. It is also very gentle on the clothes by using the right cycle. However it is still a bit too small to wash the big blanket, I wish I have bought the 9.5kg model.

LG washing Machine
This washing machine is alright, quiet, and perfect for small family. It has a control panel which allows you to select your mode easily. Even for the water level, so you can save some water when required and when you are washing less clothes. Price is reasonable around 700 AUD.

Excellent
I love this machine. Especially that there is no agitator clothes don’t get tangled around the agitator because there is none! But it cleans everything really well love the turbo air drying it’s great in winter. Also love that there are no messy filters to clean and it lets me know when I am due to do a tub clean which takes a while so my advice is to let it do it over night or on a day your not going to be washing.

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.

Bought the machine in April 2016. Lint! Lint! On everything. Lint filter no don't one. Wash the clothes then go outside with a lint brush before bringing the clothes inside. Where does all the lint come from? Previous loads. As for service in Canberra act. One company only. One other Company want service call fee over the phone when you book. The other is sooooo busy can't service for at least another week. As for the LG Care centre, don't think the staff are in Australia. For future reference don't buy it unless it has a lint filter. LG products are good. Question - why no lint filter in this model?

Update : I did live chat with LG to ask how much water the tub clean uses. No info. What about other cycles? No info.
We're in the middle of a severe drought and this washer wants to do a tub clean. ... Read more
But I can't decide whether to do it because they can't tell me how much water it will use. I much prefer a washer where I'm in charge and I can clean the lint filter and be done.
