What customers say
Customers highly value this LG washer primarily for its exceptional capacity and quiet operation, thanks to the Direct Drive technology. The large drum easily handles bulky items and large family loads, boosting laundry efficiency. While the machine proves reliable and cleans effectively, users must adapt to high efficiency standards, especially regarding proper HE detergent use and load balancing. The main friction point involves the low water levels common in HE cycles, sometimes requiring the use of the Deep Fill option for heavily soiled items. Despite longer cycle times being a trade-off for energy savings, the overall consensus praises this appliance as a durable, high-performing workhorse offering excellent capacity for the price.
Know before you buy
Yes, the 4.9 cu. ft. capacity is spacious enough to accommodate bulky items like king-size bedding and comforters. Its large tub size is specifically designed to handle these oversized loads comfortably.
The tub is quite deep to accommodate large loads, which can make it difficult for shorter users to reach items at the very bottom. You may need a small step stool to comfortably retrieve smaller socks or items that settle at the base.
Yes, the washer includes a 'Water Plus' option. This feature allows you to increase the water level for cycles where you prefer a more thorough soak or have particularly soiled items.
The machine is engineered with a quiet operation design, making it significantly less disruptive than older models. While it is not silent, most users find the noise level low enough that it does not interfere with daily activities or sleep.
Turbo Wash is designed to reduce cycle times without sacrificing cleaning performance. It uses powerful spray jets to penetrate fabrics more quickly, allowing you to get through large laundry loads faster.
No, the washer features an effective high-speed spin cycle that extracts a significant amount of water from your clothes. This reduces the time your laundry needs to spend in the dryer, which can help save on energy costs.
