[@TreborG2]

If you have a chance, could you upload a video of one of your normal loads (the one you demo above is fairly light) and more specifically, what this unit like in the spin cycle? Most common complaints or worries when people look for Front Loaders, are leaks, stinks, and vibrations. That you've posted this 8 months later is awesome, and you don't make mention of leaks, which suggests at least to this point there were none. Stinks - You covered the the additional details about the clean-out and drain on the washer which is the first I've seen of it, which is great! So that leaves Vibrations. Thank you for this video, LG doesn't have them for all models, and in most cases its just their spit shine and polish to make the thing look good, so seeing real people's examples are awesome! Thx!

[@DAnaSchweinberg]

I love this video thank you! Custom PGM by the way is Custom program. aka most used cycle. So say I use timed dry but increase the time to the max, change temp etc you hold that button down to save the program. So when ever you want to select your most used program all you have to do is press that button and it will automatically load your favorite program. So i button press for favorite cycle instead of turning dial and changing settings. Thank you again for video!

[@emmaharris2952]

Thanks for the review. I have what I think is an older version (purchased in late-2014) of these, and they're still going strong. I did want to make a couple of observations that may or may not apply to others. First, as I am on a septic system, I have to be very mindful of what goes down the waste system, including from the washer (obviously). Consequently, I use "safe" alternatives to laundry detergent, softener and other fluids. But specifically, I typically use essential oils for both the softener (Clary Sage) and for the Tub Clean cycle (Tea Tree and/or Eucalyptus). And I undertake the Tub Clean at usually twice a month as the build-up can be substantial. Something for folks to consider. Second, some may not be aware that, at least with my units, there is a sediment filter mounted just inside each of the water inlet valves. I check/clean these twice a year, and recommend that others do the same thing.

[@blackice7408]

U have a very spiffy set there. If you want to turn on the drum light just press and hold the button where it says drum light

[@xxbambamxx7261]

What's working better to clean out you're washer, are to put a few tabs of dishwasher detergents with descaling in them, this will clean you're machine 100% but you need to use a 60°C or higher program..

[@busymama2402]

Thx for this video! My Maytag dryer just crapped out after 8yrs so looking for something sturdy and a little quieter and larger so this is very helpful! Thx!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

beautiful machines, thats for sure! i love the LG design! I almost bought this set, but I went with the Samsung Active Wash with tub, top loader only because I had a newborn at the time and cloth diapered. This set though, may be in my future for my ext pair down the road. I need work beasts! hahaha LOVE the turbo wash!

[@reillycat71]

I absolutely love this set, i can get an average load done from wash to dry in about an hour!

[@MienemLeben]

My brother had that Samsung model and Lowes had to replace the entire washing machine two times with in 8 months. So the last time it was fixed he sold it and got this particular LG model only with a Kenmore label 😉! I have the 5.2 cu Ft. version in White and I have had absolutely ZERO problems with it! The model number on mine is: WM8100HVM

[@davenwin1973]

I will have to look up the specs on this washer , but my lower end LG operates a bit different. On my washer, the load sensing feature does not determine water usage, but how much detergent to use. The water level is preset, and will fill, until it maintains the water level. Mine does not have the turbo wash feature, and must tumble continuously to get all the clothes wet. I also had to set it to use more water, because 12 gallons does not het clothes clean. I'll have to check out the new water level, but I'm sure it's closer to 20 gallons, and gets my clothes clean. As for the stuff Lowes left from the washer, were the shipping bolts and special wrench. Do Not throw those away. You need to rescrew those back in, when you move it to another place. They're used to prevent major damage to the drum, when being moved to another place, other than another room, on the same floor.

Nice review. I have the smaller F12B89NDA 6kg model myself - very happy with it.

[@shanittabingham4274]

Thanks for sharing!! Just a couple of questions: -Why aren't you using the storage bin underneath? -Why do you want to exchange the storage area for the actual twin mini washer, do you think that it's a better deal? -Have you tried washing a California King Comforter inside? I ask such questions because I were just at HomeDepot yesterday trying to decide between this particular LG front loader and the larger sized drum... Thanks again, I look forward o your response!

[@reillycat71]

Right now i only have the parts, like the wrenches and extra hoses it came with. I have found that nothing really fits in that drawer. I used to store a few quilts in our old washer set pedestals and not much else. I liked the idea of have the mini washer for tiny loads, like when my daughter tells me after I have finished all the laundry that her school gym outfit needs to be washed. She always does that too! I only have queen sized bedding so I am not sure how big of a comforter it could accommodate. You might want to consider the larger tub size or check LG.com. They are a great company and usually answer questions pretty quickly. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions I will try to answer as quickly as possible. We have out house up for sale so I haven't been online as much lately.

[@shanittabingham4274]

Are you spinning the knob fast? If so, that's why. You can not move it fast. I have a lower end LG washer, and I have to turn it slow enough to get it to change cycle. Even after turning the knob slow, and it still doesn't change cycles, means the sensors in the knob are defective, and will need a new circuit board for the cycle selector.
