I purchased my new LG washer WM 8980 HVA a few weeks ago at Costco and I am very satisfied with the performance of the machine. There is so many features which I have yet to use but I look forward to making this a great experience.

Clothes are wet most of the times after the cycle is completed and have to redo. Waste of time and energy.

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
