Beautiful and works like a washer & dryer.
February 5, 2017
Cyber Express Everyday were very helpful when the set I ordered in white was not available. So they sent me the graphite steel ones. Did not matter to me. And I love the color.
A white wringer washer would have been fine. I still miss mine. But I am pretty sure I will be madly in love with these.
Review is late as this is the first day of quiet after the contractors left. Took time to even find someone to work on my small 500 ft sq living space. So the first loads in both worked beautifully. Didn't try anything fancy. Just wash and dry.
Thank you so much for a great wash day.
LG POWER PAIR SPECIAL WASHER AND DRYER ROCKS!!!!
November 2, 2016
I could not be MORE PLEASED with this purchase. Quiet operation, can barely hear the super-fast speed spin selection. So many options for wash and dry cycles. Dryer has a steam selection. Capacity of both the washer and dryer is incredible.... now it is EASY to wash a comforter and you can even get a lot more stuff in with a comforter! The dryer door with 2 options as for which way it opens, from the top down or from the side out is pretty neat too. I highly recommend this set of appliances!!
Best washing machine and dryer I have EVER owned
September 3, 2016
Best washing machine and dryer I have EVER owned. I have to care for my husband who is bed ridden. Thus I have to wash a lot of pillows, blankets, comforters, etc. Washer NEVER unbalances and everything comes out so clean. I am SO impressed!!!
BE QUICK OR THESE WILL BE GONE!
May 7, 2016
Simply wonderful to use and look at and what a great size capacity. The buyers of my previous home asked for my 12-year old washer and dryer that were front loading and on risers. They wouldn't have fit in my new first floor laundry room and I gladly gave them up. My how things have changed since I purchased a new washer and dryer. These can almost get the clothes from the basket and wash and dry them without your help. So many features and wonderful extras to make your clothes stay looking new longer and come out wrinkle free. My new iron may not get much use. My plumber was very impressed with the price I paid for this set and the brand, which he said was the best.
These machines are great, excellent quality & all the features you could ...
October 3, 2015
These machines are great, excellent quality & all the features you could ever want. What used to be 3-4 loads is now one, they are big! Great value for the capacity and quality. They don't come with any of the hookups so be aware that you'll need to order those separately (wal-mart has them on the cheap). I recommend them to everyone!

Edit: We've had these almost a year now and they work and look just like new. No issues/breakdowns/service has been needed which I wouldn't expect in the 1st year as it is. I added a close up photo of both the units buttons and load options.

Awesome machines, bad steam cycle
November 11, 2016
I love my washer and dryer. The clothes come out soft and clean. The reason for three out of five stars is the steam cycle. I bought this dryer to double as my iron. The problem is, when you run your shirt through the steam cycle it ends up getting drenched, as in way too wet to wear. I'm still trying to get an appliance guy to come fix it.
Houston, what's this button for?
March 29, 2016
My last washer and dryer set lasted over 20 years, so the new technology is a little bit overwhelming. There's more bells and whistles on this set than the space shuttle. It's a little disconcerting that the washer makes a low sort of grumbling noise, and uses very little water, but it's doing the job. Bottom line, they're doing what they're supposed to, I think.

Would never by Samsung Washer again....
November 11, 2016
Cannot say is this exact washer I am posting about.Currently a nation wide recall going on as to Samsung top load washers.Of course we just replaced ours 2 weeks prior to the recall.Our top loader Samsung lasted 4 years, and $200 in repairs.Plus the cost of replacing with new washer just last week ($800)....I would never get a Samsung washer again of any kind.On the good side, the dryer is still working into its 4th year.In the old days, washer/dryer lasted 20 yrs. IMHO much to muchtechnology is involved on the Samsung Front Load washer.AND the simpler model we just had to purchase,in our family opinion THE CLOTHES COME OUT WHITER and or CLEANER!!!

Worse washer ever!
December 11, 2016
This is the worst washer EVER! First time I used the bleach reservoir, the next load after came out with bleach spots on it. I called LG and the guy in the other end told me I have to run the 'clean' setting every time you use bleach. What a waste of water and time! Also, doesn't use enough water to clean your clothes. Litteraly some of the clothes come out with dry spots on them. Wish I would have read reviews before spending money on this washer! I bought the matching stream dryer and it is junk too, instead of steaming clothes they come out with obvious wet spots on them...waste of money and LG customer service is very bad also..good luck speaking to someone who actually speaks English....
... the washer because it goes out of balance very easily on the spin cycle
October 29, 2016
We cannot use the high spin cycle and constantly have to redistribute clothes inside the washer because it goes out of balance very easily on the spin cycle. Also, after only one year of use, our LG top load washer started making a squealing and grinding noise during the wash cycle. The machine is out of warranty and the repair estimate is $500. Do not waste your money on an LG washer.
Never Trust this Company Again
October 28, 2016
I decided to write this review to save people from what I had to go through. Do not buy this product. This is the worst washer I have ever used. It has rusted in less than a year and LG would not honor their warranty. They replied to it as cosmetic, but as of October 28, 2016, the washer is two years old. It has rusted to the point that the top portion of the washer bounces up and down when the washer is unlevel due to the rested out clamps that has broken a lose. Meanwhile, the reservoir for the bleach is falling down into the outer portion of the drum due to the severe rusting. In addition, the washer's built in leveler stop working after one year, and the washer is continuously unlevel. I can put a load of clothes into wash while leaving the house and when I get back the washer has bounced all over the kitchen floor. I have spoken with LG multiple times about the problems with the washer, and they refuse to fix it. Furthermore, the washing machine had a recall that was supposed to be fixed. I called LG when I got the notice, and they told me to call a number to schedule the repair. It called the number and scheduled the repair, and it never got fixed. LG is a company that only thinks about getting the customers money and not the customer. LG has over one thousand complaints, and each of the customers is having the same problems. [...]
Washer exploded
July 3, 2016
Public service announcement: My mom's LG washer exploded two months ago (only used 2 years). Purchased from Pacific Sales and they had purchased extra extended warranty. Neither LG nor Pacific Sales will refund them.
Worthless Machine and Terrible Customer Service
April 26, 2016
My wife washed whites last night and dried them as normal. This afternoon I put in my clothes after work (colors). Most everything was ruined by bleach--new Dockers and a couple of nice shirts and socks. When we called the number for the LG warranty, the person explained that we needed to run the self-clean cycle twice a month, and this problem was caused by build up. I have had the washer for 3 weeks. Build up? Really? When my wife disagreed, he simply repeated the recommendation that we run the self-clean cycle twice a month. (Also, there was laughter in the background.) On a side note, the washer does not do a good job of cleaning clothes. I was thoroughly unimpressed. Also, everything came out extremely wrinkled. I am returning this piece of garbage or dumping it in a landfill, and I am never buying anything with an LG name again.
Failed in 51 days and flooded my house.
January 8, 2016
A pair of underwear was somehow sucked through a gap in the tub and wrapped around the shaft destroying seals during the spin cycle resulting in the next load flooding the house. This occurred Christmas Night. LG support has been absolutely terrible as they were unable to even schedule an authorized technician. Instead I got a list of their authorized technicians and lined up the first available appointment myself. Currently we are 2 weeks without a working washer and repair men have been to the house 3 times. They diagnosed the problem on their second trip and then were sent for a 3rd trip because LG requested photos. Today LG said this wasn't covered under warranty and we are waiting for a supervisor to review. So if you have underwear that you plan to wash sometime, you may want to reconsider purchasing an LG washer. I paid 749 dollars for a washing machine to flood my house on Christmas night (51 days after purchase) . I will be posting my review on every site that sells this washer as this is totally unacceptable and consumers should be informed.

The best this about this machine was when it finally broke ...
June 8, 2017
The best this about this machine was when it finally broke and we had to buy a different washing machine. It didn't matter if you separated your clothes, threw them all together, prayed to Buddha this machine was ALWAYS unbalanced. It could take up to 5 hours to do one load of laundry. As a mother and wife my time is more valuable then babysitting a freaking washing machine!
AVOID LG!
May 31, 2017
Don't buy LG! I have this washer and dryer. The washer easily unbalances and shuts down. The dryer is a disaster. Two of the baffles (the fins that fluff the clothes inside the dryer drum) detached without cause. I am more than 5 weeks into the ordeal of getting them repaired, all because of LG.The new baffles do not come with the appropriate screws to attach them to the dryer drum. That was not apparent until after the baffles arrived. However LG does not actually know what screws are needed to attach their own baffles to their own dryer drum, so they "guessed" and shipped some random screws which do not fit. Both my professional appliance repair tech and myself have made separate hour+ phone calls to LG service and tech departments to NO AVAIL. They have no idea what we are supposed to do now.
Don't buy this product!
December 4, 2016
This washing machine is a horrible product that shouldn't be on the market. Don't buy it unless you want to "babysit" it constantly to make sure the load of any size is not "uneven". It either adds more water (some "water saving feature") and attempts to rebalance (usually fails) or it just stops and blinks on the control panel "UE" for uneven load. The cycle times can take up to 100% longer than the original time for the cycle (easily up to 2 hours). This product should never have been put onto the market (nor the same type from other brands from what I've heard from other owners). Have had the washer since 2/20/2014 and have been extremely disappointed with it--no way it met my expectations. Would only buy the old tried and true washer with a real agitator or a front loading type after this very bad experience. My phone call to LG to complain only got me a verbal "we're sorry" and nothing more.
Customer hating design.
September 18, 2016
It is impossible to open the locked door unless you are some sort of expert I guess. Renting out an apartment with this machine is a really bad idea.
Washer it so damn tall!
June 2, 2016
I am 5'8" not a petite height. I can barely reach the bottom of this washer to get the clothes out. I have literally had to buy a little stepping stool to be able to reach comfortably down into it. What on earth were the designers thinking when they made a machine so tall and so deep?It does ok but you have to always use water plus and for bigger loads watch it fill, then pause and hit water plus again a few more times.The lack of water and abundance of height make me really regret this purchase. I should have bought an old fashioned type for 1/3 the price.Dryer is fine.
