Image Feature

Built-in Intelligence Takes Out The Guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles-built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right wash motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle 1 , making it the ultimate laundry hack.

Image Feature

A Powerful Yet Gentle Clean In 29 Min 2

A powerful jet spray, plus the tub and motor that rotate independently and in opposite directions, creates a powerful water flow that causes garments to rub against each other throughout the cycle for enhanced washing performance.

Image Feature

Go Big To Save Time And Get More Done

Say never again to never-ending piles of laundry-this mega capacity washer is one of the largest top load in its class 3 to fit more clothes in every load and help you power through laundry day in less time. How big is 5.5 cu. ft.? Big enough to fit a king-size comforter and a full set of bedding in a single load, for big time savings every week.

Image Feature

The Top Load Washer, Completely Reimagined

You've never seen a top load washer like this. The flat front and matte finish are a perfect contrast to the high-gloss sheen of the full-width glass lid. Sleek electronic controls with LED display make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. With style that's right at home in 1st or 2nd floor locations, the SlamProof™ lid is a must-have for gentle, smooth and quiet closing, every time.

Image Feature

Easy Ergonomic Reach

The key to our EasyUnload™ design is hidden beneath the sleek glass lid. We've angled the washer front for a more comfortable, ergonomic reach. Now you can easily retrieve stray items from the bottom of the tub-with no sacrifice in capacity. Pair it with an LG dryer that has the 2-way LG EasyLoad™ door and seamlessly transfer clothes from washer to dryer and dryer to basket.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Look for another model

Logan101 11/25/2024

Do not buy. Custom cycles arnt really custom. They are just other presets not on machine. Also there is no option for soak. Why would that not be an option? I wished I had know that wasnt an option or we wouldnt have bought this machine.

Really came through with bulky items

akitch1956 11/9/2024

I bought this because my Maytag was failing after 13 + years I was concerned about the inner drum and leveler when it came to washing bulky items.. I was pleasantly surprised it worked like a champ and didnt signal uneven load like my old Maytag So I am pleased with its cleaning capabilities

Great Investment

SuttonFTW 10/28/2024

I bought this washer after a couple of years of being in a new home. We simply believe this was a great investment as previously we had a refurbished washer. We love all the features and the fact it sends phone notifications to let us know when the cycle is over especially since have 2 boys we forget about switching clothes based on our busy schedule. I would definitely recommend this to family friends

Terrible panel design/Good washing capacity

Alane younger 10/22/2024

3 star review mainly because you cannot see the power button in a room where the light is not right on top of the machine. Who ever has ever heard of this? A design flaw for sure. The panel is difficult to see in general. My other gripe is the horrible directions and does not come with quick start easy to understand directions. I have no complaints when it comes to washing and the clothes getting clean A on that. I wanted a large capacity to wash my blankets and heavy loads. Fix the panel design.

Darren129 10/9/2024

We bought an LG washer and dryer in 2023 and in 2024 decided to sell our house. The buyers wanted both items as they knew they were new with warranties on them. So we had to buy replacements. We bought new AI washer and dryer set in 2024. We love the AI feature where we can just set it and the computer figures out how to wash or dry the clothes. Also love the scheduling features too.

Good but not Great

Damnyankie 9/6/2024

We bought this about a month ago and it has been a learning curve as it is so different from our other washers. The one thing I do not like is the amount of water in the tub on a normal cycle as it isnt enough to cover the clothes in it. This leaves them dirty and smelly. We have to use another setting to get enough water but other than that we like it.

Cam9818 8/20/2024

So I bought this washer 1 month ago and it still works well it washes clothes very well and if you want more water press deep fill and turn it off when it reaches the level you like I love the turbo drum it really makes the clothes roll over even tho there is a lil bit of water but I do have one complaint and its the drain pump sometimes its makes strange noises and popping noises but overall its a good machine

Delighted with the large capacity. Well-pleased with its performance really like the sensing for needed water process at the start of the wash. Glad I bought it. I do have a few questions: why is the top slanted so it cant be used to fold and sort clothes from the dryer? why did I have to call your 800 number to get a real owners manual since the book which came with the dryer is worthless?

Poor documentation

Checky man 7/21/2024

The washer seems to wash well but I have several concerns. The instructions do not tell me enough to know how to fully use the machine and the features they brag to have. I am playing with the controls to reduce the wrinkling that is happening to the clothes. We hang dry some clothes to avoid shrinkage but the amount of wrinkling going on with the clothes is tremendous and have to toy with the features to figure out how to handle this. I have no clue how to use the additional programmed washes that are in the app nor how to start the washing machine from the app or how to set a default program. Very poor documentation. the manufacturer description is great if one knew how to use it.

Great Washing Machine

IlanaRenee 7/2/2024

My husband and I purchased this a month ago and I have to say that the more I use it the more I like this washing machine I didnt think the app would be especially beneficial but it is as it lets me know when its time to clean it. When cleaning towels that are especially dirty using the Deep Clean cycle really works well. The only thing I do not like about this washing machine is that there was no all-white option - the lid is black with dark charcoal lettering so it is very hard to see. The designers should have an all-white option

LG WASHER

BC27 6/26/2024

I purchased the LG washer via online/contact with customer service on 12Jun 2024. The washer was delivered on 14 Jun which I thought was great. However during the initial cycle the washer began to leak from under the washer. A tech came to inspect on Mon 17 Jun and it was determined that washer needed replacing. We received the replacement on 22 Jun and everything seems to be OK as of this date. Thank you to Customer Service and deliver persons.
