LG TROMM Washer - Front Load Review Summary

"LG Tromm Front Load Washer is an outstanding appliance design." It doesn't just look good, as it's also "well-engineered," and "highly efficient in its use of water and detergent." This front-load washer "appears capable of handling almost any kind of wash load, fabric, or clothing." The features just don't seem to end, as it also can fit a whole bed set at once. Even husbands report in here that it's easy enough for them to use. The one negative is that the door has to be kept open when not in use to keep the mildew smell away. A few reviewers warn us to not be fooled, as it's the "poorest washer I've ever had." Also check out the LG TROMM Dryer.

Not only does this washing machine look fantastic, but it is amazing how clean it gets my clothes.  My whites are brighter and crisper.  My colors are more vivid.  Love the steamfresh for a quick refresher to clothes that just need to be freshened up.  There are plenty of available washing cyles,... review »

I hate to be the odd man out  here - but  the LF TROMM front load washer  has proven to be the worst  purchase I've ever made  for household appliances.   We purchased Washer/dryer combo with their over-priced pedestals and   the dryer has been trouble  since day 75 with no  support from...

LG TROMM Washer - Front Load (and accompanying LG Dryer) 

Purchased this expensive washing/drying duo and have had nothing but problems from the get go.  Smelly clothes have been something that I would routinely blame on not putting them in the dryer fast enough but even a wash from the evening started in the dryer the next morning shouldn't cause a smell like that!

Next, the washer eventually started leaking.  I thought perhaps one of the kids, we have three, messed with the front-end door but after reading review upon review upon review about a leaky front door seal with no apparent wear...

I purchased the red washer/dryer pair (WM2487HRM) in November 2006 for our new house.  It worked well for us, up until last week when we noticed a pool of water that had started under the machine.  Web searches show that this has been a common complaint on this model.  Most posts suggest that the front door seal is leaking, this however was not my problem.  I decided to take the machine apart in order to avoid a costly service call and discovered that the water was leaking- ever so slowly- from what looks like the "steam generator" at the top of the machine.

Therefore if other people are having...

My LG WM1814CW is ALMOST 4 years old and they want $300 to repair it......Drum stopped turning and flashed error code LE which ended up being a bad control board and sensor. DO NOT BUY!!! Have had problems since the 1st day.

I have had the w/d pair of LG Tromm for about 2 years.  The dryer is fine, but the washer is not.  The washer always cleaned well enough, that was never the problem, although the length of wash time, even on short wash,  and the amount of vibration was interesting.  The first easily noticable thing was how on opening the door after washing, clean clothes would fall out onto the floor.  I don't like FL just for that reason alone.  As well, bleach can be a real problem.  I wondered why some of my clothes were becoming bleach damaged when no bleach had been added to the wash, I realized the...

My husband and I bought the LG Tromm washer and dryer four years ago, after we became parents and I'm not a fan. Like others, I have had the smell problem and have to leave my door open after each wash load. I still have this problem after using HE soaps which are supposed alleviate the issue. I have a Bosch washer and dryer (that is 9 years old and made in Germany) in my guest house and they have become the machines I use most often. This Korean made crap is something I would NOT recommend, even to my worst enemy.

I bought a LG washer 3 years ago and the exterior of the machine is rusting. Under the soap and bleach dispenser the the paint is bubbling, peeling and badly rusting. I have called LG numerous times and found they will not stand behind thier product when there is a defect. Before you buy LG washers remember I told you so.

LG Tromm Front Loading Washer - DO NOT BUY THIS APPLIANCE OR ANY OTHER LG APPLIANCE!!!  We were suckered in by the Best Buys folks and bought the washer, dryer, fridge, and TV.  WE've had problems with ALL 4!!  The washer is horrible.  It wreaks of mildew and it leaks.  There is mold all over the seal, and no amount of bleach or manual cleaning gets rid of it.  it's a flawed design.  Same with the fridge.  LG IS CRAP!  RUN AWAY!  Don't listen to the sales people.  They are either getting kick backs or don't know what they're talking about.

I have had my Lg Tromm for 3 years now and I still love it. The only downside is that you have to leave the door open or it ends up smelling funky.

A year ago, we moved to a new state, and left all of our old appliances at our old house.  I was excited at the prospect of getting all new appliances, especially a front loading washing machine, in particular the LG Tromm Steam Washer.  I have twins, so laundry is my number 1 priority.  I was thrilled when it was delivered, and I immediately started doing laundry!  Not only am I saving on laundry detergent and water, but I'm also saving on time!  I feel good doing something good for my family and the environment at the same time, and our clothes just feel cleaner, and are lasting longer,... review »

We recently got the Red LG Tromm Front loading washing machine and love it.  It is so quiet and really does use much lesss water.   We were so surprised when it only took 40 minutes to dry a load of laundry.

I've had the LG TROMM washer for over a year now and haven't had any maintenance issues (knock on wood). I think it works great. This is the first really expensive washer that I've ever owned (I mean costing over $400).  I did notice, like many, that if you leave clothes in for too long before putting them in the dryer, they smell awful and have to be rewashed. I also sometimes leave the door ajar to air it out. HOWEVER, I have heard this complaint about a lot of front loading washers. I use mine stacked but am in the process of redoing the laundry room and will move it side-by-side. (I love...

I love my LG TROMM front load washer! It is everything a washer should be! It fits my whole bed set in at one time (thank goodness!), uses less soap (which is cheaper and better for my baby's skin), is energy efficient (yes!), has many cleaning options, get stains out great!, and is super reliable! My mom's front loader (that she paid more for) leaks water if she opens it after it's started washing but this one doesn't! This is silly but I really love the beep when a load is done, it's like a little angel song :). The only negative thing (with all front loaders) is that you have to leave the door... review »

We purchased our washer and dryer from Home Depot with an extended warranty.

It is one year and a few months old and the pump is going! The extended warranty is absolutely a nightmare. The worst service ever! I will not get into it, but please think about another model and service. The inside of the door has some plastic rubber and the lint gets in their and get stinky. They suggest leaving the door open after each use? Plus they now have little tablets to put through a cycle without clothes to get rid of the horrible odor.

Just all around not good!

SEARS CANADA - EXCELLENT SERVICE and i would purchase...
