| About This Brand |
|---|
South Korean company LG was the first to market with steam washers; the company claims its machines provide real steam (created by a steam generator). The latest wrinkle from LG is what it calls the Allergiene cycle. That cycle, says LG, reduces and removes 95 percent of dust mites and pet dander from a load. LG washers range in price from $900 to $1,600. |

Comment:
I bought the matching pair with a gas dryer to replace an 8.5 year old Kenmore/Frigidaire pair because the Kenmore/Frigidaire front loader had a tub bearing failure. That is how the useful life has ended for every front-loading washer we have owned so far. We do an average of around a dozen loads a week and find that this pair takes about the same amount of time to do our laundry as before, despite the longer wash times because the tubs are bigger and the clothes are spun dryer in the washer. We close the door to our laundry room when running these machines and find the end of cycle audible signal to be too quiet. The count-down timer for both machines helps to alleviate that quiet signal issue a bit. We bought at The Home Depot when sales put this pair at a lower price than the basic model pair of LG front loader washer and gas dryer. It is surprising how little water is used, particularly in the normal wash cycle, but the clothes do come out clean. The gyrations both machines go through early during the cycles when measuring loads and determining wash and dry times are a bit disconcerting, but they do the job. Because of the high cost of servicing modern appliances and their potential for breakdowns that require early replacements, we bought a warranty extension for both, something we have not done before for any major appliance. We are hoping that they last five years. We have added surge protection for the 120 volt circuit that supplies power to both machines because of the electronics used for control.

Comment:
We have had this washer for a few years. It has been awesome. At first it was hard to get used to the high spin speed as it was sort of loud, but now we don't even hear it, even then it was just different, not anything we couldnt live with. The stain cycle works great and has save many shirts.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

3 mo old units, wiped off front of washer and my decals for wash cycles came off. Called lg, they said it was cosmetic and not covered under warranty. Um, I need to know the wash cycles. Never had this issue with Maytags . Come on...
