LG WM2016C Front Load Washer

Pros: Solid feel, attractive design, low energy and water consumption
Cons: Not dependable

One of the great things about moving into a new house is getting to pick out all kinds of neat new things to fill it with. New curtains, new accessories, new fridge, new washer and dryer. The new toys are great fun...until they stop being so fun. ...

Pros: Looks great, works great, Energy Star Rated
Cons: Door not reversible, limits install options

Because some of the complaints from other reviewers are so vehement and harsh, I'll start by listing the ONLY complaint or concern that I have. That the doors are not reversible is a problem for which LG has no good excuse. Assuming you pair this ...

Pros: Clean clothes, energy efficient, good washer.
Cons: Door always open, vibrates on floor.

Bought into this new technology when my old and trusted top loader took a dive. After a debate on repair and cleaning costs we decided to buy new. Studied almost every model and style of washer and decided on this LG front loader early in 2008. Waited to ...

Pros: Cleans very well, Wide variety of settings, Cleanable pump filter.
Cons: Capacity, Sensitive buttons, Door needs to be open when not in use.

I purchased this washer 5/21/08. I wanted use it for awhile before I wrote a review. After many loads of laundry, I have found this machine to be reliable and efficient. Because we had been without a machine for awhile, the new one ran nearly non-stop ...

Pros: Water and energy saving. Internal generator. Easy to use.
Cons: None.

When our old machine wore out, I knew I wanted to replace it with an energy efficient front loader. I checked what brands and models were available in our area,decided on a pricepoint, then came to this site and read reviews. Even though there were ...

Pros: Energy saving, attractive
Cons: Expensive, doesn't clean better than cheaper models, noisy

After thoroughly researching front-loading washers and dryers, I went with my husband to the store on Boxing Day hoping for some great deals. We had chosen a Bosch set for our purchase, but once we got to the store, the salesperson pushed the LG on us. ...

Pros: Low water usage, nice alert tones, direct drive drum, easy to use
Cons: Must leave door open at all times for mildew, cryptic status display

Have not yet experienced the near-universal LE error code, nor the funky-smelling wash results. We use Trader Joe's or Ecover 'earth-friendly' unscented and undyed regular old powdered laundry detergent, and the clothes come out smelling fresh and ...

Pros: Quiet, efficient, less detergent (HE), good size load. Looks good too!
Cons: Longer cycles than the top loaders, needs some attention to maintenance.

Ok, So there are a few things to be aware of when buying a new washer. I wanted something that was energy efficient and quiet. My Amana top loader was 14yrs old and leaking water from the tub base. No love lost here as this washer so loud it made TV ...

Pros: Easy to use, intelligent, effective, entertaining, good looking, sexy.
Cons: None so far.

So far the LG 2016 washer and it's companion dryer has performed without any problems and has, by far, exceeded my expectations. The very first load produced a clean and fragrant load of shirts, socks, and other garments that seemed to glow with fresh ...

Pros: environmentally friendly!, beautiful to look at. You hide your top loader, you "display" your frontloader!
Cons: hundred$ more than toploader, reliability unclear

I'll address the loudness: I have never had a front loader before. This one was on sale at Sears, and I had read good reviews on it in both major consumer magazines. The few home reviews on the internet has offered complaints about noise and codes. ...

Pros: Energy Star Rated. Digital program is easy. Quiet.
Cons: Awkward to use. Twists/tangles clothes. Stand extra cost. Expensive detergent.

Have had the WM2016CW front load washing machine for a month-and-a-half. Bought it based on the great reviews for LG, thinking the front loading was the way of the future. The machine was also on sale. I really liked the idea of getting a better washing ...

Pros: Works great when it works.
Cons: Unreliable. Seven months later, it is un-fixable. LG customer service is sluggish and inefficient.

I really loved this machine when I bought it about seven months ago. It washed great, had an easy to use panel and was quiet. I wasn't too thrilled about the potential of mold growth on the inner seal, but I would just leave the door open between ...

Pros: low water usage, load size, available settings
Cons: have to leave door open after wash

I bought this unit because I wanted a new front loader and this particular model seemed to be one of the more simple front loaders. It uses much less water than my old top loader and my utility company even gave me a rebate for its purchase. I was a ...

Pros: Fantastic machine
Cons: Check color fastness, probably not for upstairs laundry room

We have had this machine for a few months and it is absolutely fantastic. In fact, this is the only place I have seen disparaging remarks, and I wonder if the reviewers actually have one. With kids, we wore out a nice Kenmore top load direct drive ...

Pros: It puts the softener in without a ball (wow).
Cons: Takes twice as long per load, requires special detergent.

We decided to try these new washers with all the hype because our old top load broke. We've been using it since Aug 2007 and now I hate laundry. All loads even for a small wash is 52 minutes, a small soiled load is 1 hour 32 minutes (This is just the ...
