LG WM2277H Stainless Steel Front Load Washer Review

This model has 7 different cycles, including a sanitary cycle which I understand can take up to two hours (for extremely soiled clothing). I have yet to use the sanitary cycle.

I have mainly used the Cotton/Normal, Permanent Press, and Delicates cycles. Some have claimed that the wash cycles are considerably longer than on traditional washers. I haven't found these cycles to be too much longer.

The LG Washer does come with extra options, such as extra water, extra rinse, spin speed, and (for select cycles) the ability to adjust water temperature. So far I have not needed these options, as the default settings seem to work just fine.

You can set a delay time for your washer so it can run after everyone is in bed and had their showers. I haven't used this yet since I have found that the washer uses so little water that it does not interfere with showers. Also, since the washer has a built in heater, it will make sure the water is the required temperature.

Some people have said that the spin cycles on this thing are so fast their clothes come out practically dry. I have noticed improved drying times, but only slightly.

The LG Washer is expensive, costing $1100 + retail. Fortunately, I caught it on sale and paid $1099 for both. I actually paid $100 less than the next model down, which wasn't on sale. While the washer is one of the most expensive, the features, energy and water savings, and quality of cleaning make it worth the investment.

An added bonus is the entertainment factor. I don't know if it speaks for how entertaining the washer is, or how dismal TV is, but we actually find ourselves setting chairs in front of the washer and watching the wash cycles instead of TV. A stainless steel drum spinning at 1320 RPM. Now, that's entertainment.
