An incredible upgrade from a top-loader
By C. Novak
I LOVE this washing machine. Seriously. I finally dumped an 18-year-old noisy top-loader for this sleek new digital wonder and couldn't be happier. To address some of the complaints I've read on this model, first, you don't have to clean any filter daily or after every load. There IS a water pump filter on the lower left corner of the machine which is LG recommends you clean monthly, depending on use. I've checked the filter twice in a month and haven't seen any build up yet. Second, the machine does its best to balance an awkward load of heavy wet items in the spin cycle. If it starts to spin and is too off-balance, it will give up, try to readjust the items with some low-speed spins, and try again. The machine WILL vibrate some as it first starts spinning and the clothes are heavy with water. As the clothes start to lose their water, the spin will even out and become nearly vibration free. Regardless, it is MUCH quieter than my old top-loader.I actually checked the noise level with a dB meter and compared them to what my old machine used to put out. My old "Lady Kenmore" top-loader would top-out at about 80 dBs, usually during the wash and spin cycles. The LG WM2250C tops-out at 50 dB, while injecting water into the wash drum, or during the first part of an awkwardly balanced spin cycle. As a reference, 50 dB is about the same noise level you'd get in a busy park or face-to-face conversation with someone. I also installed two "water hammer" arrestors on the water inlets for about $15 total from your local hardware store which "cushion" the water column in your pipes as the fast acting valves used in these types of clothes washers inject water into the wash drum. Without the water hammer arrestors, the valves switching on and off (they do so a dozen times during a wash cycle) might produce a loud thud in your water pipes, which is annoying and could cause damage to your plumbing. The water hammer arrestors reduced the noise level during the water injection another 5 dB, making the loudest part of this washing machine an off-balance spin cycle.The clothes coming out of this washer are incredible. There is much less odor in the clothes from residual soap residue because the rinse cycle is much more efficient and the washer needs much less detergent than a top-loader to start with. Also, the high speed spin option gets the clothes so dry they need significantly less time in the dryer, increasing your utility savings. After drying, all my clothes and bedsheets and even towels feel softer and more supple, with less detergent smell. I am extremely happy with this. The washer also has a handy magnetic door holder which keeps the door semi-closed and out of the way while allowing air to move in and out, preventing mold or mildew growth.The few drawbacks I can think of are a longer wash cycle (normal cycle with normal soil level takes about 45 minutes) and the fact that you can't open the door at all during the cycle - unless you unplug the washer. I found the silly electronic chimes that the washing machine plays at the beginning and end of the cycle to be annoying, but it was easy to permanently turn them off. Overall, anyone graduating from an old, noisy, inefficient top-loader to this sleek digital wonder will be extremely pleased.

High maintenance machine
By Weezi
Beware looking at reviews on LG.com. They rejected this review, would not post it, and only accept 4 to 5 star, glowing reviews. I've had my LG washer 5 months. This is my first front load machine so I don't know if all machines are like this, but every few washes you're supposed to drain excess water out of a drain plug. If you forget, you'll get a code when enough water is built up and the machine won't run, which happened to me when I set it, walked upstairs and went back expecting to take the wash out only to find out it hadn't been washing. You need to unscrew this plastic plug out of a small rubber hose and I can see over time this will be the first thing that goes on the machine from constantly manipulating it in and out. During the initial fill of water, there is a knocking of pipes and although we got 2 water arresters, one on the pipes from the furnace and one behind the washer, there is still a knocking sound for several minutes and I worry what this is doing long-term to my pipes. I've seen this knocking issue in other reviews. You also need to wipe down the rubber gasket after each wash to prevent mold and mildew; not a big deal but combined with having to drain this tube, I would consider this a high maintenance machine. Would rather just "set it and forget it" like the old-fashioned washers and not a bunch of electronic gizmos. The clothes are not wringing wet when they come out and I have two points of view on that. Is it because the spin cycle is so good it wrings the water out, or is it because not enough water is going in during the cycle to adequately clean the clothes? I can't complain about the cleanliness though. It does a good job of cleaning. It replaced a Cabrio that lasted only 6 years so hopefully I get more mileage out of this one or I'll go back to the old fill-the-tub kind. Would I recommend it? Only if you know up front the high maintenance aspect and can deal with that.

By Bandit 1981
I have never had a washing machine that worked as well as this one. It really gets your clothes clean and the spin cycle is so efficient your clothes barely need to dry that long. I got the stackable kit for this LG washer and the same LG dryer and its a great combination.Small complaints:Door has a personality, it does not like to be opened at certain times but it does allow you to pause the load and add clothes if you need to during the cycle.Detergent area never really dries out. This is not a big deal, just kind of strange. It also has a special cup for liquid detergent which is actually helpful since you can remove it, pour the detergent in, and put it back in the tray.Finally, the washer compartment does not air out on its own after use. You need to leave the door open for half hour after you are done with a cycle.Overall a great appliance, you won't be disappointed.
