One week's worth of laundry in one load
Wellworth the additional money I can stuff an entire week's worth of laundry towels, sheets and all of my clothes in one load. I did notice I connected it to a 5 -20 R receptacle they cut the wash time from 90 minutes down to 34. I was washing some bath mats. So I think it does sense the voltage. And current draw is above 10 amps I believe because it runs much better when I plug it into the the 20 amp outlet it's faster. Runs the cycles faster. I digress. This machine is a monster. Just I think ...

Child lock isn’t actually childproof
My biggest complaint is that the Control Lock feature “aka child lock” applies to every button/knob except the power button. Guess which button my toddler likes to press? So what’s the point of having that feature if it doesn’t apply to every button? I hope they change this feature in future models.

Deeply Regret the Purchase
Generally good cleaning performance, but the design of the door gaskets traps water and creates the nastiest buildup of bacteria and slime -- even while using the cleaning tablets and regular cleaning routines. The gasket design not only traps the water, but makes cleaning virtually impossible. Regretting the purchase. Seriously considering trashing this and buying a top loading washing machine.

No, I paid for installation and haul away and received neither because they said I didn't have the right kit.

Good machine that should be reliable
I bought this washer and a new dryer to replace my 15 year old LG machines. There was nothing wrong with the old machines except for some rust on the top. I thought it was also leaking water which stopped when i properly cleaned out the filer mechanism. It has required no servicing. The new machine is pretty much the same as the old one. The new machine works well and I have no complaints except for trying to hook it up to the app which is difficult. Looking forward to trying out the cold wa...

Excellent features and function
This is a large washer that works well. There are plenty of options to tailor the wash cycle to specific needs, including a pre-wash, spin only and extra rinse functions. The washer is quiet and cleans efficiently. Even the quick wash is effective. This was a good solid purchase.

Never Again
Would Not RecommendThey changed my delivery date without notifying me. It went from a 3 week wait to a 6 week wait. Installers were rude regarding placement of new washer. It couldn’t have been easier, walk out basement, no stairs, washer RIGHT THERE BY THE DOOR. I had the old washer completely unhooked and ready to go. They attached the hot water line to the cold water line that I had to replumb. They didn’t level it either. I had a very similar experience a few years back with a dryer delivery. Never will I purc...

Washer is great, base is useless
Would RecommendOrdered the washer and dryer with the bases. Delivered and installed yesterday. Both work great however the bases are terrible. Not tall enough to store any laundry essentials upright, everything has to be laid down for the drawer to close. Very disappointed.

Doesn't have water visible at all during wash
Would Not RecommendI used to just drop loads in and let washer do its thing. Until recently I went to look at it mid wash. I know it's supposed to save water, but the clothes are just rolling in there damp and not in any pool of water. Some clothes are visibly not clean after wash. There's no way to adjust water level without breaking warranty.

Doesn't clean clothes / Doesn't dissolve Tide Pods
Would Not RecommendWe purchased this washer and matching dryer in November and I fully regret it. I specifically asked if I could use Tide Pods and the sales associate said "definitely". The machine does not dissolve the Tide Pods. Even on warm cycle so I had to switch to liquid detergent. It didn't matter anyway. The washing machine does not get clothes clean. So many shirts have been ruined because they're not getting clean. Even used the heavy duty wash with hot water. I wish I could return this set. I wasted ...

Moldy Health Hazard
Unit gets moldy. Have thoroughly cleaned the detergent dispenser, gasket and drum and still smells moldy and gives me a headache when near it. Will likely get rid of it for a top load washer that doesn’t have a detergent dispenser.

Constantly Breaking
Would Not RecommendWe have had this washer for about a year and have already had someone out to service it twice for leaking, unbalanced load errors, and an issue with it walking across the floor and totally blocking our laundry room door. The technician replaced a lot of components that may have been the culprit, but he did not actually pinpoint the cause (which, fine, it seemed to work). Now, it keeps tripping the breaker every 10 minutes. This washer is unreliable and I'm getting seriously fed up with it. My h...
