LG-low on value, breaks and stinks, but hey it looks nice!!
Date of Review: Aug 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: Can't recommend this product due to lack of VALUE. Like I said it breaks alot, shakes a lot it, makes my clothes stink and it's a poor design/value.
Good review...
I have a top of the line LG washer and dryer, love the color (blue), love the features and the pedestals...but I'm afraid of what is going to happen when the warranty runs out, why?? Because
I've had my service guy out 4 times to service the washer.
By the way don't call LG, you have better luck going through who you bought it from and then get the local repair guy who is contracted to repair it through LG. I'll call him directly and he in turn bills LG. So far he has had to re-balance the machine (two service calls-one by HHGREGG whom we bought it from and from our LG service guy-who is great). Then we had water lingering in the detergent trays...he replaced some strainers on the back and eventually had to replace the computer board.
Like I said the warranty is great, but all I've ever bought before is $100 washer and dryers and they have all worked flawlessly. Now I have a wife and two little girls so I figured better to invest in a real washer now vs. when they're in college. So I fork out the big bucks and have all this stuff break...and yeah my towels stink!!!
I also bought the washer since the laundry room is next to my home office and it was embarassing to talk to clients on the phone and they could hear my old washer working away...now my washer shakes/vibrates so bad on the high spin cycle that we can hear the garage doors shake outside! LOL!! No kidding! So how do you think it sounds in my office now...lets just say I can't talk on the phone and wash clothes at the same time.
Overall the LG is o.k. and the warranty is great, but I paid a lot of money for something that wouldn't break, shake or make my clothes stink.....this LG just isn't that great of a value in my opinion.
