I purchased this with an LG Heat Pump Dryer to stack with. The washing machine is easy to use and so, so quiet. Cycles are on the longish side, but the result is excellent, clothes thoroughly cleaned and spun out making it quick to line dry them. I use the app on my phone to know when the wash cycle is finished, as you certainly cannot hear it running. The dryer stacks perfectly on top, with brackets to hold it securely in place, no need for a mat in between. I love this washing machine!

I bought this in October 2021. I hate it. LG says they strongly advise against using liquid detergents, and the detergent tray isn't built to use with liquids. If I had known this before purchase, I wouldn't have bought it, that information wasn't on the ad and wasn't in the manual, I was only told when I contacted LG as the detergent tray has no labels other than I and II and softener. Powder detergents leave powdery residue on the laundry. It has 12 built in laundry cycles that are virtually identical, with no differentiation between whites and colors etc, unless you want to read the manual every time you're washing something, there is also absolutely no soak function, even in the app. There isn't a drain or drain+spin option on the machine, in order to use this ... MoreI bought this in October 2021.

The app is incapable of adjusting basic settings like intensive wash, while the machine is incapable of being set to steam. For a "smart" appliance it's pretty unintelligent. If it's on any cycle with the "artificial intelligence" mode, it takes several minutes to decide what's in the machine before it will give you an ETA on completion, and unsurprisingly doesn't identify the materials well enough to properly wash them without damaging them. The machine rarely drains properly, and you have to leave the door open for at least 1 day after using it, or else it gets the most disgusting mould smell, which then also covers the laundry you try to wash in it. I don't recommend LG's washing machines at all.

We had previously had an LG front loader for 10 years which we absolutely loved. The new machine does not spin to the same level leaving the washing wet which is a real problem. Even on a cold wash the washing is not spun well at all and comes out very very wet & hot. Our washing is also coming out considerably more creased than we have ever had from our previous machine which is extremely frustrating. Previously we could hang out simple things like polo shirts and T-shirts and they would look smart when they were dry. Currently everything comes out crushed with heavy blinds through garments and bedding which is frustrating to say the least. We expected this machine to operate the same as our previous machine just without the dryer function. We are desperately ... MoreWe had previously had an LG front loader for 10 years which we absolutely loved.

I recently purchased this machine to replace a Miele front loader that I had owned for 18yrs. This machine most certainly cleans as well as the Miele. The preset wash options are perfect for our needs, and you have the option of downloading others. The App is a great additional feature to this machine. Being notified as soon as the wash is complete makes laundry day far more productive. One word of caution. You will need to set your taps quite low if you have decent pressure. The valves in this machine will cause water hammer if you don't. I would definitely recommend this machine. Also I have to recommend the whole buying and delivery experience with AppliancesOnline. This is my second purchase from them , and the service is first rate.

Please don't buy any LG washing machines or dishwashers. We purchased a new LG dishwsher in 2018, it flooded our kitchen within 2 weeks. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and during lock-down we purchased a new washing machine for $1,311 NZD. It had a major manufacturing fault and flooded 3 rooms of our house in week 4. No help was provided until 10 days down the track, after pushing Harvey Norman (where we bought unit from), to get a drying company out to try and save the carpets. I should mention here that the electric bill for using a steam extraction machine, and 6 commercial blowers, for 3 days and nights runs into the $100's. Unfortunately after the carpets had been sitting in water for so long, the underlay is un-salavagable, we are unsure ... MorePlease don't buy any LG washing machines or dishwashers.

I should mention here that the electric bill for using a steam extraction machine, and 6 commercial blowers, for 3 days and nights runs into the $100's. Unfortunately after the carpets had been sitting in water for so long, the underlay is un-salavagable, we are unsure about the carpets which are still up following the drying process. A technician eventually came to check the unit, and to check if we were to blame. He quickly found the manufacturing fault, and sent his report to LG. One of the inlet pipes was blocked/not made properly, which then caused a rubber tube to split. As a result water kept coming out of our mains to try and fill the machine. As it wasn't able to get enough water into the machine on account of the massive tear in the pipe, it continued trying to fill, and water was gushing all over our floor. Water infiltrated several walls, expanded our skirtings, and effected the GIB. I should point out here that our house was newly rennovated with new carpets, new GIB and skirtings etc. 3 months down the line LG have now put in a request to test our water pressure! So after assessing that their unit is faulty, they will now pin this on us. They said they would call us last week, they didn't. They said they would call yesterday, they didn't. The service centre is based overseas, and the reps accent is very thick and very hard to understand. This company is atrocious, and I wish to save others from their service. The damage that their faulty products have inflicted, is not something that they are willing to take any responsibility for. Their location makes them untouchable. Please do not go near this terrible company. They don't deserve the star I have given. There needs to be a negative rating scale to be able to provide a true indication of the standard of service and product quality.
This machine replaced a top loader which I have always used in the past. Ive only done 14 loads of washing in it so far ( the app tells me this). It has a hot as well as cold inlet which is what I was looking for in a washing machine as we have solar and a heat pump, so I thought it would be better for power usage to use our own hot water rather than the machine having to heat it. I may be wrong here. It has many washing programs, most of which you dont know the timing of until the machine is going, because of the AI feature. I now tend to use the Quick Wash and I add a rinse and increase the spin to 1400rpm. This load then takes about 47 minutes. Sometimes I also increase the water temperature too eg for towels and sheets. It annoys me that you cant put a Favourite ... MoreThis machine replaced a top loader which I have always used in the past. Ive only done 14 loads of washing in it so far ( the app tells me this).

Sometimes I also increase the water temperature too eg for towels and sheets. It annoys me that you cant put a Favourite program in, so I always have to add the features I want for every load of washing. I havent been able to work out if any of the other programs have 2 rinses either, even though Ive searched online. It does wash and spin really well and it is very quiet. The Good Guys delivery fellow set it up well on our tiled floor so there is no shaking happening during spinning. You can do just a spin or rinse and spin too, by not turning the dial for a program and just tapping the spin, or rinse and spin function on the control panel. Regarding the downloading of extra programs via the app, you cant input a favourite program if youre wanting to change the spin speed or rinse or water temp from what I can see. You can also only have one program downloaded at a time. The app is handy for letting you know when your washing is finished and Ive also used the app to start the washing remotely to make use of our solar in the middle of the day. As I use liquid detergent I have poured it directly onto the clothes when Ive wanted to do this and it seems to work ok.
Overall very happy with it: machine looks good and does what it says. There are only two little things I have my observations. 1, after each wash, there is always a small puddle of liquid left in the Softener compartment, which I use for laundry sanitizer; 2, the little items such as socks sometimes stuck at the front door therefore not washed and dried. I know the use of the laundry bag for little items but you don’t want all kids socks go in the bags and they won’t wash properly there.
This is the second LG front loader machine that I have bought. The first one I had for 12 years with 20 years worth of use having it this long is a miracle for me. This new machine has all the features of the old with a few updates and new display which I like. I also like being able to put in an item after pressing start before it totally locks you out. The machine cleans washing perfectly as well.
This is my first front loader and so far the quality of the cleaning has been fine. There are a couple of usability issues. 1. It doesn't remember the last program used, so I have to keep changing all of the settings for every wash. This is particularly annoying because I want to use cold water all the time. 2. It takes many button presses to cycle through to the settings I want for a wash. 3. There is no "drip dry" cycle. You can select "no spin" on other cycles but the clothes dry with a few more creases than my top loader did. 4. Many of the cycles take MUCH less volume than the 9kg advertised. A lot of them only take 4kg. This was a nasty surprise. 5. The beeper at the end of the wash is cute, but isn't loud enough to be heard when the door to the laundry is ... MoreThis is my first front loader and so far the quality of the cleaning has been fine.

This machine makes much less noise than my last washer, but is still noisy enough to want the door shut. Overall the quality of the machine seems good, although it is too early to tell because it's only a month old. The wash seems fine but usability is pretty average.
We purchased an LG front loader to replace our old LG front loader which lasted over 15 years trouble free. The most noticeable differences are the newer more modern look, the whisper quiet operations during a cycle and the familiarity of an LG. We didnt even realise this new machine connects to the home wifi when we purchased it, but, we love this feature. It is so rewarding to get a message on your phone or watch to inform you the load is finished and ready to hang on the line. Sounds weird but is in fact very useful for a very busy family home life. Havent used the other new very important feature yet, but, it was a must have feature of having the ability to press pause during a load, open the door, put in the odd sod sock or whatever, close the door and press ... MoreWe purchased an LG front loader to replace our old LG front loader which lasted over 15 years trouble free.
