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.

Third time is hopefully the charm

KSB2 11/11/2023

We are on our third washing machine since July 8. The first machine arrived with a dent in it so the installers wouldnt deliver it. The second machine exploded dented itself along with the washing drum dislodged and plastic side handles blown out. The third machine so far is working as one would hope.

Great unit just check door seal

Dan999 10/6/2023

So far this unit has been great but it took two tries. The first one arrived with a bad or poorly installed front door seal. Due to this it made a horrendous noise and then flooded my entire laundry room. The replacement unit has been flawless.

Karenfeller 8/4/2023

The washer does not work. I have tried for two weeks to get a repair scheduled but LG has not called back nor do they take my concerns seriously. This was a BRAND NEW machine and it has not worked since cycle one- it starts and then turns off Horrible customer service.

Best Washing Machine Ever Built

TomCat65 7/11/2023

We absolutely love our new LG Washer. The large capacity allows us to wash bedding and other bulky items with ease. The washer is relatively quite and runs smooth. The pedestal washer is perfect for the small loads.

Fabulous Washer and Dryer I have ever owned

Evelyn95 3/4/2023

I purchased washer and dryer in October 2022 and am so delighted with their features. It washes the cleanest of any washer I have ever had. I love the fact that they both send a message via my phone when the washer and dryer are completed. Saves me time and effort. They are also larger than my previous appliances.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Gstewy 1/13/2023

My wife and I were very excited to receive our new LG Washer and Dryer. After reading the reviews of customers and checking out the reviews from Consumer Reports which rates our models as being Top Rated and Recommended we waited anxiously for them to arrive. First thing we washed was our Cal-King Comforter which would never fit in our 9 yr old 4.2 cu ft Washing Machine. Its always been a huge pain sending our Comforter out to be cleaned. What used to take about 2-3 days to be cleaned from our local Cleaners has now turned into 7-10 days due to Covid according to them. Now we are here to tell you our new LG 5.2 cu ft washer tackles our large Cal-King Comforter with ease And talk about Clean...all our loads of Laundry for some reason seems so much cleaner and brighter The use of the TURBO WASH feature I believe is credited for this but either way we have never been more impressed and completely satisfied with a Washer and Dryer purchase. Hats off and thank you to LG...definitely a home run

4 Stars for LG Front Loader Washer

maryandwyo 1/11/2023

I love the LG front loader. The only reason it didnt get a 5 is that the small drainage tube use to drain excess water is extremely slow. Took me 15 min. to get it drained. And when opening the cylinder next to it after a wash water pours out if it hasnt been drained.

Its definitely MEGA

mlosee 1/10/2023

I bought this set with the anticipation of doing fewer loads. With the Mega capacity in mind Ive easily gone from 6 loads a week to just 3. It even fits a King size comforter with room to spare for sheets. It pairs nicely with my phone in the LG app which gives notifications when loads are running and finish. Keeps me on top of laundry so I dont forget to swap loads and get behind. Has definitely lived up to my expectations and beyond
