As an owner of this machine, I would say that Deep Wash and Heavy Duty are really the only two cycles with the best agitation from this machine. All other cycles do not seem to overturn the clothes well at all. The heavy duty cycle lasts well over an hour, but if you choose TurboWash, it cuts the time to just a little over an hour. Deep Wash is our favorite cycle as of late, no need for Deep Fill the machine senses the proper amount of water. We only used the Normal cycle once, and will never use it again, there is no way the machine uses enough water on the Normal cycle. The Speed Wash cycle, as long as you use Deep Fill or Deep Fill Max, is honestly not that bad if you need clean clothes quick. Just some tips and tricks for anyone interested.
I also own this machine, I use speed wash with deep fill for lightly soiled laundry, deep wash for normal loads, and heavy duty + deep fill max for anything that’s actually dirty.
I agree. The normal setting is practically useless unless you need to wash a small breed dog, or one sock. The dog could literally just walk around in the shallow, gentle water for 57 minutes. On a serious note, when you use warm or hot water, with Deep Fill, do you get condensation on the left, and right side of the lid, as well as the grey lip of the lid? I have to get a replacement dryer because it arrived with a huge dent on the side, and I need to know if the washer needs to be replaced as well, or if this condensation situation is normal for this particular machine.
Seems to me that engineers in trying to gain that little extra bit of efficiency are sacrificing getting the clothes clean or rinsing out excess water. Can’t say this machine would be a keeper. Must say I do love the channel.
This machine seems fine to me. I just purchased the CV model and the matching dryer with the door that opens in two different ways. I have had my LG front load washer and dryer for more than 5 years never experienced a problem with them. The front load washer along with the new dryer will be moved to the basement apartment for my daughter to use. The top load washer will be more comfortable to use in the upstairs laundry room.Also with the front load washer my favourite cycles were the permanent press and towels. I would sometimes use cotton normal or bulky wash if I wanted extra water and occasionally delicate. I used Tide free pods and unscented bounce sheets in the dryer. I purchased LG again because like me my son has had front loaders for more than 10 yrs without a problem. When I get the top load washer I'm sure I will figure out which cycles to use. There was some good advice on the previous comments, thank you.
I bought a front load LG lately , how come I always worry that the water is not enough to clean the clothes and I feel itchy ! I regretted buying a front load washer I used to have a top load
I have no issues with this machine. I use the Normal, Heavy duty, and Bedding settings according to the load. This machine does not wear out your clothes. I have much less lint in the dryer as well. You don't need to tear you cloths apart to get them clean.
Great Post.. This washer isn't too bad. again its made to wash small loads of clothes or delicate clothing with this type of agitation. To make this washer more competitive, it should have a low impact/high impact agitation option. Low impact for smaller and delicate clothing and High impact for items such as sheets, jeans ,towels and bulky items. This machine is incapable of wash ing 5 pairs of jeans or 10 bath towels thoroughly.
I'm here 3 years later. I was looking for a video to show me if this is really the agitation the LG uses. It's so slow! Does it it really get the clothes clean? I'm used to a fast back and forth the last 50 plus years. I hope I didn't make a mistake buying this one.
Hi Eugene, thanks for your time in doing another video. As with most of the LG's you film, I'm only giving a thumbs up for YOU and not the machine. I do not like LG, this machine is yet further proof, to me, that they don't know what they are doing. So thumbs up for you and a negative -10/10 for the washer. Thanks again, Laurent.
This machine seems to work. But the agitator is too short and also does not continuously screw the clothes down into the water. It's back and forth motion disrupts the famous downward screw agitation of the maytag.
As far as h.e goes the best washer was the whirlpool/ admiral with the dual agitator 👍 and the recent Maytag commercial that’s not bad at all 👍 everything else is a load of toss
I have the maytag commercial with the black control panel. It does clean like a beast, however I can’t make it switch to normal 1/2 load for smaller loads. It’s a shame. I’m too cheap to pay anyone to come look at it.
I will stick with my Maytag commercial washer. Too bad they don't make a larger version of the Maytag commercial washer. It would be worth its weight in gold.
This agitation could be used on delicate cycle. This is not heavy enough even for normal. The old direct drive washers actually needed slow agitation cycles because they were actually aggressive and got ur clothes clean unlike these pos machines now
Hi Eugene. I need your advice. I need a new washer preferably top load. Can’t spend over six hundred. Don’t need lots of bells and whistles. Just a dependable machine that gets my clothes clean. What do you suggest?
I’ve owned the impeller model of this machine (WT7300CW) for two years now and thought the agitator model would be better than it. After watching several videos of this model and its Wash action, I can say that I’m glad I didn’t buy it. This model literally plays peekaboo with the clothes, while mine cleans properly and will actually bring the clothes from the center and recirculate the clothes to the bottom. To me, it is what the original concept of an HE machine was but better and cleans clothes. LG is probably the only brand of HE top loaders I’ll ever buy.
It put too much water into the tub. I notice with these machines it's always too little or too much. The new models with agitators are definitely an improvement. I don't find the impeller only models to be very effective, especially with sheets and blankets.
Is electricity that cheap in the US? it's heating a lot of water for some shirts... A front loader would've been more efficient and clean those shirts better.
@@C1200A Why is it your business how much water my washing machine uses to clean my clothes? Please tell me who put a limit on the amount of water that we could use to do anything?. If it was up to people like you and your "efficiency".. none of us would have full fill top load washers and the "watchdogs" of the masses are making that a reality by degrees.
@@C1200A Why do you spell like that ? It Isn't only "aMeRICa", which includes North ,Central and south aMeRICa" but Australia and New Zealand. Quite a bit of people like their top loading agitator washers. Do you believe God made all things ?
Doesn’t make sense to me that the screw shaped agitator works in both directions. It would clean better if it only pushed clothes down the agitator casing a good roll and forcing all clothes into the deep water. I’ve had Whirlpool machines with a similar agitator shape that only goes one direction
@@AndrewAddisonUniqueDrewski980 There is no "efficiency" if the clothes are not getting scrubbed in some way. If this had taller agitator fins at the base this would have done a lot better in rolling the clothes over.
Today's top loaders are crap compared to the old ones. Can thank government for that. Do they make front loaders that can last 25+ years without issues?
@@jackoff1826 I'd take a front loader any day. Superior cleaning using less resources. We got a Frigidaire FL in 2006 which has been passed along to family members and it is still going strong with no repairs. Last six years we have had an LG FL that is excellent.
@@richardmaher7629 the wash quality is better with front loaders. They require maintenance to prevent mold (usually needing the door to be left open) and whatever it is that needs cleaned out about monthly (usually up front at the bottom) and with typical usage they have a lifespan of about 11 years, they all have a known design flaw of the Web that holds the basket on. Not worth fixing when it goes bad. And that's all with hoping the motherboard has no issues between then. Best wishes with your two.
Not impressed. Still waiting for my maytag. I really like the older wash machines. I wish I had my grandmas old maytage with the rollers on it. I think I would get better cleaner clothes!
The point of using the tide is so that he can smell if it was rinsed out good. If this washer did a good job rinsing the clothes, it would barely have a smell of tide.
@@alecvip7562 I'd prefer a washer with an extra rinse option and use it exclusively on all loads. Acting like machines are made well to do everything you need is almost unheard of.
I'd be ashamed to dump that JUNK-PILE into a LAND-FILL...... what a piece of CRAP!! It's even to bad to throw into a LAND-FILL!! Just like 95% of ALL new (so-called) washers sold on the market!!
Don't understand LG and more, spray on final spin to reduce spotting butno spray after wash to remove extra detergent residue. Hate final spray as it removes the fabric softener. And I preferliquid over sheets.??????
Really they call that a rinse cycle? Who designed the program, somebody in pre school (sorry I am not insulting the children in pre school) but really. Put the agitator on a boat, it will work better.
I’m not a fan of this machine. Some of the cycle programs take hours to complete, the wash action is very weak and the machine itself is very lightweight which indicates to me that it’s under built. I do like LG’s televisions. I like them even more than my Samsung.
This thing is complete trash. the agitation is worthless. when you have large items like jeans and towels in it it cant even move them they just stays in place. When exactly did washing machines become virtually usless trash like this one? Honestly it seems to do okay with small wash cloths and sock size material.
Run as fast as you can away from this Horrific LG Washing Machine. I made the Mistake of buying it. When using normal wash it never fills enough water so 90% of the clothes are dry being dragged around not wet. Then when I set it to Deep Fill it over fills the drum "Over The agitator" wasting gallons of water. I swore I would never purchase anything from LG After my Brand New LG Fridge compressor went out it took 2 months to get another one that worked & NOW THIS HORRIBLE LG Washer..

Interesting. While I want to like it, and I do appreciate what LG is trying to accomplish, I wish the agitation was stronger.
Yeah, agitation reminds me of "hand wash" speed of the washers of the 1960s & 1970s.
When spinning up the agitator and its spiral vanes remind me of those spinning plastic flowers that you see in a corn field.
OLD SCHOOL STILL BEST!
Yes! An Stronger
