| 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:
We have had this model for over a year now. It functions very well. We really don't think about it - which means a well-running, efficient machine! To date, not one problem. Others have mentioned noise - I have not found it to be an issue.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I had the original TROMM steam washer and I really liked it. Between me and my house mate the washer is used almost every day. The new washer has the steam function with some improved options. I used the cold water cycle on some dirty gardening clothes and they came out great. I was hesitant to use the cold water cycle on the dog beds, but went for it because the matching dryer has ,a sanitary dry option. My only complaint about the washer and dryer are the cycle modification buttons. The buttons are a bronze color with blue lettering and unless I am shining a flashlight on them they are impossible to read. Perhaps LG should loose the buttons and go to a touch screen interface or backlight the buttons. I resorted to putting labels on with the label maker. I also am bummed that there is no tub light on this washer, the last one had it and I liked it. I believe the light is available on the more expensive models. That is what I get for trying to save a buck!

Comment:
I've read CR beforehand. I paid attention to noise level which had been rated to be good, not great. It is usually pretty quite, but you do notice the noise when the pump runs during rinse and spin cycles. My washer is in the basement, so not too annoying. YMMV. <br /><br />All in all, I am happy with it. I am particularly impressed by its ability to wash very bulky items that has stretched beyond the limits of my old Whirlpool Calypso washing machine. One large quilt has never been washed properly until now.

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...
