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: Easy to use, gets out tough stains, operates quietly and efficiently.
Cons: Unbalanced load issues, monthly draining task, inability to switch door direction.

Background:Buying an expensive appliance is a dreaded chore for my husband and me, particularly because neither one of us is very good at making decisions.  However, when our hand-me-down Maytag Neptune (yes, the awful original model ...

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: Direct Drive Motor, Styling, Large Door
Cons: Electronic Controls-- A weakness for a long term appliance.

Thanks for all your posts! I'm using a surge protector thanks to the comments on computer failure mentioned here. I believe that most negative experiences reflected in these posts were due to getting a factory defective LEMON. This could happen ...

Pros: Very efficient, cleans well, large capacity, quiet, gentle on clothes.
Cons: Should have a way to let the door stand open.

Bought this washer about 8 months ago when our old Whirlpools were damaging our clothes.  I did not want to spend the extra money on the front loaders, but my wife talked me into it.  I would do it again in a heartbeat.  We save on average ...

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: It saves water and gas; runs quiet; cleans clothes better.
Cons: Gets stinky if you don't wipe it clean and leave door open! requires special detergent.

When we decided to replace our old, inefficient washer, I looked over many reviews for washers, particularly high efficiency ones, and none looked really great. I decided the LG 3.5 cf washer was the best for the price. We purchased it several months ...

Pros: looks great, good load capacity, clothes are clean, good price point if on sale,
Cons: unacceptable vibrations, monthly drain issue, must keep door dry, door not reversible.

the LG WM2016C is a masterful work of metal, pretty lights and sounds and what looks to be a promising clothes washing machine is over shadowed by an unacceptable level of vibration in all of the spin cycle settings. A typical front load washer ...
