I never thought that I would be hooked on looking at washer reviews.

Just moved into a new home, did my first load and was worried there wasn't enough water in the cycle. Thank you for setting my mind at ease. I found this extremely helpful.

Excellent review! Yes, it has long cycles but you can wash huge loads which means less cycles and less time overall doing laundry.

If he water level is really bothering you - Turn it up, You'll find videos on how to do it but its basically stick a screwdriver in the water level sensor and turn a single screw

I just got the combo version of this washer. It takes longer per load, but I can literally wash twice what my speed queen top load could wash at one time!

I was also shocked how clean my huge load got, and no detergent residue showed up when I swished a clean garment in water- so it rinsed well too.

I used to use 4 TB detergent per load in my top load washer… for this I use 2 TB for the huge “double” size load to get both clean and having no residue.

So my detergent will last 4x as long! Impressive.

We bought your previous favorite. It cost close to $1200 but is wonderful. I've followed your suggestion of never using more than 2 tablespoons of detergent and it looks like you were right. Clothes still get cleaned.

Thanks for the review. I just bought this set and it will be my first front loaders so I'm glad you like it. Sucks that the cycle is so long but the one I bought (technically a wm3400cw) does have a 15 minute cycle for lightly soiled loads.

I had one similar to this but my washer had the water plus option and "YES" VERY LONG CYCLES!!! Not good when you're doing 4 or 5 loads in one day, It took me forever to get done!!! Great video Eugene...

Thanks so much ! I used this washer for the first time yesterday ! The only thing that alarmed me was the 15 minute final
spin cycle ! Otherwise I think it will serve me well !!

Many modern front loaders have options of much shorter "express" cycles such as 15mins & 30 mins. The Fisher & Paykel front loader I have does an excellent "everyday" wash in just 49 minutes!!! Admittedly it has both a hot & cold water intake plus an on-board heater. The other thing people seem not to understand is "lack of water" and this is really about immersion (water-guzzling top-loaders) v.s saturation (water-miser front-loaders). As long as fabric is saturated with sudsy water it will get clean. Fabric doesn't have to swirl around in massive amount of water to get clean, in fact, more water dilutes the detergent more. Finally, the tumbling action of front loaders is a much more effective and efficient cleaning method mechanically speaking.

Just found my repair guy!!! I am also in Cleveland and will be getting my LG 3600 tomorrow. Any problems I have in the near future I will be calling you.

Really appreciate this video! Have been looking for washing machines as a first time buyer out of college and read many good reviews on this model. Came across your channel and this helped to make the decision.

About the "not enough water", there is a screw (with red loctite on the screwhead) at the back left (1:31)) that can be turned clockwise a little ways to adjust water level up. Caveat: it will void the warranty.

[PeterGregg]

Thumbs up! A terrific overview and impressions video. Gives folks just what they need to stay ahead of their purchase decisions. Good video Eugene! And thanks for pointing out that top open cover of the washer ;)

[mahdishalodi]

hey, Lorain Furniture, this washer can recirculation pump . you have to look under the machine and repair that and turn it on in any cycle and it will recirculation

[OwnYourOwnBus]

Best wishes to you and your family Eugene! It's been difficult for us all but we'll get through this. We're almost out of the woods. I still enjoy your honest reviews. Thanks for taking the time to post new videos!

I love this review, although it did not answer my question that I originally sought to find an answer for which was, how do you get rid of the moldy smell and the disgusting, grimy black sludge that’s in the basin of the plastic ring around the entrance to the washer. But, I found this to be the most accurate description of the washer that I’ve had for three years and I love that you have a ketchup test and I love that you get emotional about the fact that there isn’t enough water you rock on and have a great Fourth of July weekend.

Damn.. I never thought I would be very happy watching a washer review... I getting old XD

My LG front load is 10 years old. Only replaced the door latch and did it myself. Washer stopped tumbling and that was the issue. I had a heads up because for about a year I had to give the door an extra nudge shut. My cycles are average 55 minutes. There are pre wash and extra rinse. which I sometimes use with a short wash cycle. Hand wash is excellent, tumbles one way then has a long pause, then reverses. This mostly soaks the clothing and not tumbles it. It has a 22 pound wash capacity and can wash all my quilts.LG's are also direct drive with no belts and a lifetime warranty on the stainless steel drum. I love my machine.

Great to hear this is a good machine because we just ordered it during Lowe's 4th of July sale and it will be our first "modern" washing machine. Always owned top load with agitators, but figured this would be a good entry level front loader to try out for the price and ease of use.
