LG WTG9032WF

Total fail after 2.5 years – The 'smart' technology was always a bit sus (water levels were inappropriate etc) Now, just after 2 yr warranty is up' the control functions are totally screwed. The washer won't fill up at all. At least it didn't catch fire like some other LG washers. Show details

Utter Fail – I really love LG appliances, and when my old washer finally gave up, I jumped at the chance to add another LG to the house. I really want to say I love this machine, but oh dear... (we bought the WTG9034WF unit at H.N) If I has spent a cent less on this expensive appliance I would have thrown it in the trailer to take to the tip - I wouldn't even… Read more

leave this on the side of the street because I wouldn't want anyone else to be tormented by this machine. But as I'm too stubborn, I want to punish myself for being so foolish as to buy this, and possibly get some sort of value from it. If I have any clothes left to put in it that is, because this critter is worse than a gremlin. It eats clothes. And by eat, I mean utterly destroy. In a time travelling marvel, this washer will return any unfortunate item that you feed it back into its natural state of threads and fibre. And if by some miracle your clothes dont tear to shreds, this machine ties knots in everything that even your grandfather would be proud of. The only time it won't compost your clothes is when you let the machine autofill with water. Because there won't be enough water to wet your clothes. Ever. Unique environmental feature I guess, 1/2 a star for trying to save the planet. And where I thought I'd be excited for my phone to tell me that my washing was finished via the wifi app, I'm filled with dread as I playback that Forrest Gump chocolate scene in my mind, because you never know what you're going to get when you open that lid. This appliance shouldn't even get an award for participating, this is one of those cases where the parents need to be called for a special talk.. If this is now the standard for LG washing machines, never again.

Great machine – Purchase 4 weeks ago..Love my new machine, super quiet, no lint problems, clothes are washed and spun without residue, awesome size for family of 5. Still working out to use all the features as it has so many, but is far it’s awesome

Worst Washing Ever Purchased – Purchased 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. Squeaks and many issues with water level. Do not buy. Worst washing machine I have ever purchased and will try to return as very disappointed. LG customer care overseas centre is frustrating and hopeless. Do not buy. Show details

Great Capacity and no lint! – Generally very happy with it - the basic functions but learnt to make adjustments when suits. Love the lint filtering feature and unconcern with putting delicates in as I tend to use wash bags to protect. The only negative that comes to mind is the height of the machine - too tall!!! Show details

Fantastic Machine – We received our Machine towards the end of June 2019. We set it up, made the initial wash with nothing in to clean out any manufacture residues. We are two adults and two children. I am a cleaner and will change my clothes on average three times per day. Some jobs I break from morning to evening which makes for a lot of washing. On average, we… Read more

wash three times per day, most often on full loads.

Suffice to say, we use the washing machine hard and often.

It is now 13th of September 2019, and we have found that the machine washes our clothes beautifully.

The machine has two large lint filters inside the drum, and they appear to have a stainless mesh. I can see them lasting the life of the machine. They also do a great job catching all the lint.

The control panel is all nice and flashy touch button with a digital display.

The lid is glass. You can simply close the lid and it eases down by itself without slamming closed.

I did read the other reviews regarding the internal depth, and my wife did mention that it was really deep to get to the bottom, although me being 6’1, don’t notice. Besides this, my wife and I are overly happy with this machine.

The depth issue cannot be blamed on the manufacturer as any prospective buyers need to do their homework. A shorter depth would obviously mean a wider machine and would not have worked for us.

All in all, I would highly recommend this machine.

Too tall to technical – I'm 5 foot 8 with a bad back and have trouble reaching the bottom of this washing machine it has a lot of technology too many buttons to push too many buttons that never get it right. Smart technology can't get it right by itself with the water level always having to be manually adjusted. my tank water ran out and it was not smart enough to tell… Read more

me that it wasn't getting any water, go figure. But that was the only easy part for this washing machine was turning the water on. Yes the tub is large, good point. It takes longer to wash as it thinks and clanks around trying to determine what it's going to do. I hate that it doesn't have a one rinse wash, you have to select it manually otherwise it will do a minimum of two rinses who does to rinse is on tank water and in Australia with our dry climate it has up to 5 rinses ridiculous. I like the glass lid that you can see in but overall not enough to like to want to keep this machine when it starts the stuff up when it's out of warranty it's going to the tip.

Happy Customer – Works great, extremely fast spin for quick drying of clothing once hung. I recommend against using top spin speed for delicates as can overstretch them just a little, which makes the other spin options great as well. Plenty of settings and options. Lint filter is also very easy to remove and clean between washes.

Worst washing machine and service -we have ever encountered! Do not buy!! – 3 month old washing machine and it’s left 30 garments with an oily slimey stain on all of them. Ruined all our kids Xmas clothes. Asked Harvey Norman to help, they referred us to LG. Lg are blaming soap - and giving us major run arounds - telling us to stand on one leg, try dishwasher tablets each week for 4 weeks...to try vinegar then sodium, etc… Read more

etc etc. old machine did t ever have trouble...our borrowed machine isn’t having issues. This oily stain is coming from the machine itself...Elec repair person has looked at machine and said he’s never seen anything like it...with 4 kids, we need washing machine and we are now 5 weeks without knowing what is going on. Heard today from Retailer (Harvey Norman)that LG now don’t want to know about it, so they will try something. Not good enough. Looks like going to small claims court now - for refund of machine and replacement of ruined clothes. Be warned - LG will not stand by their products.

Don't buy it! – I do loads from ordinary clothing, sheets and towels through to doonas, woollen blankets and delicate silks. I bought this machine due to the huge drum meaning more washing space but have been very disappointed. It doesn't clean anything properly so I end up having to soak then wash. There is no woollen cycle so I used the delicate cycle to wash… Read more

a mohair blanket that had been washed many times in my previous machine. In the LG it has shrunk and I have been left with a matted mess.

I used the doona cycle for a king single doona. Plenty of room for it but it too has been destroyed. A cotton doona where all its filling has now separated. This doona had been washed over and over in my previous machine with no ill effects.

The delicate cycle leaves your clothing literally dripping wet. You can't use warm water, you can't change the spin and you can't go use less than 3 on water level. At lot of delicates require warm water not cold.

All the cycles take ridiculous amounts of time and despite using next to zero washing detergent the clothes etc never seem rinse clean completely.

The buttons at the front mean that when you lean over the machine you will reset or cancel your wash.

I used the same brand for many years and was talked into buying the LG.

I so wish I had stuck with my previous brand. I never thought an appliance would make me quite this miserable.

Pros: Large drum (that I can't actually touch the bottom of)

Cons: Everything

A reasonably good top load washing machine – When our 20 year old Speed Queen started looking a little worse for wear we felt we had come to a point where it should be replaced. We wanted a top loader with at least 8 kg capacity and was water and energy efficient. We seriously thought about replacing our old washer with a new Speed Queen, but after some evaluation we decided to downscale and… Read more

choose something affordable and more energy efficient than the Speed Queen.

The LG WTG9032WF was on special and ticked some of the boxes we wanted.

It is not as energy efficient as we would have liked at 2.5 star (135kW/year cold wash and 620 KW/year hot wash) but it is still more efficient than the old Speed Queen it was replacing.

Water usage is good at 4.5 star and only 93 liters/wash. That box was ticked.

It has a 9 kg drum which is slightly bigger than what we were looking for.

The washing machine comes with a mobile phone app which will permit you to remote start the washer before getting home from work. When the washer is finished it will notify you through the app. Errors are also sent to the app. This feature can be useful at times, like starting the washer during the day so the solar panels provide power for the washer.

We have found the automatic water sensor tends to get the water selection wrong 50% of the time. This requires that you manually add water to the level you deem reasonable. This can be frustrating when you are in a rush or forget as it tends to cause detergent to cling to the clothes as it can't fully dissolve.

We have had the washer almost 5 months now and we are reasonably happy with its performance.

Strongly suggest you do not buy – Sadly this is the worse washing machine I have ever owned - & I've had about 6 machines. This machine leaves lint all over the clothes, leaves scum in the bottom of the machine, black loads are especially bad (white not so bad), because brown scum & white lint is left over black loads. It is a terrible washing machine. waste of hard earned money. Also seriously disappointed in the fact that LG have not gotten back to me to discuss issues.  Show details

Ripped – Knots, ripped cloths, longer washing time, in a nutshell please avoid. LG Tech comes and submits incorrect report saying i overloaded while i actually loaded below the mentioned line. 20th century technology in 21st century. Knots, ripped cloths, longer washing time, in a nutshell please avoid. I wash just standard house hold cloths.  Show details

Gŕeat you can change water levels to suit wash – Love it. You can select you own water levels even in mid cycle, just pause it, with a see through lid to check on water level (hate water sensors) & change (does not empty & restart like my old Samsung. Select any cycle you want & so quiet (I put anti vibration mat under to protect any hidden vibrations & protect. I'm 5.6 average height but find… Read more

it a bit deep to get clothes out but it's not too bad, better than bending down to a front loader. On that its a front loader but upright. And no agitator (they do not tangle clothes) Loving this washing machine. The best :)

Clothes end up in knots!!!! – Worst machine I've owned in 30 years. I've had this machine for about 4 Months now. The wash quality is very poor, marks and stains don't come out at all. When the wash is finished it leaves the clothes so tightly tangled you spend 5 mins just undoing the knots, can't be good for the clothes. One almost new towel actually ripped about 10 cm deep, I couldn't believe my eyes.  Show details

Do not buy this machine - renamed model to WTF – Purchased this machine after being very happy with previous LG washing machine (that we had for almost 18 years). This new machine leaves lint and detergent marks all over clothing, cycles take too long, quick wash does not spin clothes well. I have contacted LG twice and have been recommended to only wash on hot, not to use detergent dispenser,… Read more

and to add additional water to each load to improve the wash quality- has LG technology Deteriorated in the last 10 years? We did not spend $1000 to spend more time in the laundry rewashing clothes by hand. Do not buy this product, we're so disappointed with our choice. Life is not good with LG
