Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Thanks LG for a high end washer in a compact size!
Thanks so much LG for the WM5500HVA Washer and matching electric dryer in Graphite Steel! Most all high end washers are now 5.0 cu. ft or bigger. We do not have the depth to accommodate a washer that big, but still wanted all of the high end features of the large flagship washers. LG is the only manufacturer that has a high end 4.5 cu ft unit. This unit has it all! Shallow 30-1/4" depth to fit in tight spaces AI smart cycles and technology The LG app (never thought I would use it, but has been a...

We purchased this machine. Within a week the rubber inside the washing machine was leaking. I have contacted LG to discuss. They returned one one call ,but then never followed up or did anything to fix the problem.

Don’t purchase a washer and dryer from Lowes
I walked in the store and purchased the washer and dryer. I was told they would be delivered on the 22nd. I called the 21st to see what time they would be coming on the 22nd and after talking to the person for 45 minutes on the phone, he told me that it showed I picked up the washer and dryer at the store and only the pedestals are being delivered the following day. He said he could not get anyone to answer the phone in the store where I purchased it so he asked if I could drive back to the stor...

Clothes consisently smell moldy
This washer was great for like the first three months. We bought in July of 2024. It's been a huge disappointment sense. Clothes keep coming out smelling moldy. We've are draining the tubing in the bottom left corner weekly. We clean the ring the best we can. We've done white vinegar washes with no clothes in it, chlorox washes, and still, clothes don't smell good. We use ALL free and clear. Heaven forbid we leave the clothes wet in the washer for over an hour after its finished, they sm...

Need a Deep Fill Option
As they say the proof is in the pudding. While I do believe this washer is well built, the government EPA requirements are causing issues with performance. I don't believe there is enough water in use at any part of the washing cycle. The washer seems to constantly adjust adding more water and I get that is part of the process but really taking 10-15 minutes to do this? I have been told various times that we only should be using 2 tablespoons of detergent. All of my clothes smell with BO after ...

Good hardware but firmware is Not Smart
Purchased the LG after a horrible experience with some Sam-named brand: reviews and recommendations seemed good. I’m a male engineer plus when I was young my mom always got my clothes clean as the ideal to live up to, as guiding this review. First, the installation was a joke, mainly of bringing in washer and putting in place. They didn’t install the strain release on the washer electric cable (think ‘sharp edge rubbing 220V cable’) and left a piece of shipping foam under the washer causing an...

Overall excellent washer - with a few missteps
Bought this set to replace a WM3770H and DLEX3570 washer/dryer set. I liked that pair, but the washer suffered a premature bearing failure, and I took the gamble to try LG a second time despite that. This set is a HUGE improvement, and not just because of the move up from 2 to 5 "turbowash" jets. The number of available wash programs, the ability to edit which ones are visible, the "wash prioritization" feature that reshuffles the order of the programs based on frequency of usage are all gigant...

Hi! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying your LG WM5500HVA Washer. From the powerful TurboWash 360 performance to the sleek Graphite Steel ...
It's okay.
The biggest flaw is the absence of an internal water heater. I already had to turn up the water. heater from 120F to 140F to get my cotton garments clean and frankly it would need to be 158F. Thus $$$ on extra electric bill. My previous machine had an internal heater and it's a totally different story. The manual is generic for all LG washers so you have to go on line and get the specifics for this one. Some cycles can be only programmed through the LG app, which only can be downloaded if you g...
