Get it All Done In Less Time

Ultra-large capacity (4.5 cu.ft.) means you have the room to do more laundry in fewer loads.


Stylish Yet Functional

LG puts a modern spin on the traditional top load laundry pair. By moving the control panel from the back to the front, the buttons and LED display are easier to read and use. Modernize your laundry room with this intuitive and functional design.


A Smarter Way to Wash

6Motion™ Technology uses up to 6 different wash motions to provide a smart cleaning experience that is gentle on clothes and maximizes washing performance.


For Small Loads that Can't Wait

Whether it's your kids' favorite shirt, yoga pants or a school uniform, washing a full load seems wasteful for just a few pieces. Now you can wash small loads that just can't wait with the LG SideKick™ Pedestal Washer or wash two loads at once to save time.


Here to help

If you ever experience an issue with your LG washer, you don't have to worry. The SmartDiagnosis™ feature helps the service center diagnose problems over the phone, or with a simple app on your smartphone, helping you minimize costly, inconvenient service calls.

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.

More than I expected

MJennings5000 1/26/2023

I bought my washer and dryer combo in March of 2016. I wasnt sure what to expect because LG was not one of the brands I grew up with. I have washed everythin g from socks to comforters and to my surprise no problems. The only issue I have had to deal with and it only happened once in 7 years is a unbalanced load. I moved into a new condo and turned the washer before I checked whether or not the floor was level. The floor was but at my old place it wasnt. Once I leveled the machine no issues since.

Great machine but best for tall users

Savy shopper 73 1/23/2023

I have been using this washing machine for about 3 weeks. It works great. The clothes come clean and it has many different settings. I had to try different wash settings to find what works best for each load....I do a lot of laundry One problem I have with the machine is that the clothes come out all wrinkled in normal spin cycles. If you change the spin cycle to medium the clothes come out too wet. I only gave it 4 stars because the drum is so deep and I am only 52 and I cant reach the clothes at the bottom of the drum. I have to use a stool to be abe to get to the bottom. I recommend this washer but if you are short and dont want to stand on a stool every time you do a load this would be a deal breaker.

Great top loading high-efficiency washing machine

RRB 1 9/29/2022

We bought this unit over a month ago and it was everything we hoped for when replacing our 20-year-old unit. The top loading feature is much more convenient than the frontloading and the high-efficiency low-profile agitator does a wonderful job of getting close clean. My wife is very glad to have all of the options available to customize the wash for the load that is in the machine.

works well but too many useless features

TGF_ 9/26/2022

Bought in 2018. It has worked well up until a few months ago when it started leaking water from below. Ill have to pull it out from the laundry room and search for the leak. We only use one mode though it has dozens of possibilities why do the developers think we need so many modes? One mode it doesnt have that we need is a long soak mode 30 minutes is the maximum. For a few hour soak in OxyClean we have to use laundry tubs

Great washing machine until brown stuff appeared

JoshCulver 9/5/2022

The washing washing worked really well until brown stuff appeared after we returned from vacation which we think was hardened soap scum. Since it was not under warranty anymore we had to get a new washing machine as no one could repair the machine. This time we got a front loading machine.

Smart But Not Happy

Jeanne2022 4/14/2022

The impeller creates masses of wrinkles in my shirts. I dont dry them in dryer so the wrinkles dont come out. Never happened with my old machine that has agitator. This machine drum is massive. Easily wash larger comforters and bedding. Almost too big for my use. Very smart electronically.
