I have a similar LG top load washer. It is 4 years old or so now. I had the same experience with whites coming clean after their first time in this machine. I had white hand towels, large bath towels, and wash clothes that were tired looking. I had actually purchased new and was using those. Decided to run the old ones as a load in the LG. Just ran them on standard towel cycle. (I always use added water and extra rinse.) and they came out bright and white. I was amazed. I think these are great washers and I generally run them fairly full.
Another great vid, Eugene. Being old school, I'll take the Maytag Commercial Top Loader hands down. Loved seeing you in a washer - you're a natural!
Wash plate- wash plate-wash plate! Hahahah I love that you created a new word, agipeller. OMG!!! I just saw the pics. of you inside the top of the washer hysterical!!!!
Agipeller is how some brazillian manufacturers call their agitator-impeller hybrid washing systems. I dunno if there are Panasonic washers out there, but here in Brazil they are pretty praised impeller washers.
Overall, amusing how do americans also prefer a grinder-like washing system.
BEST WASHER REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET...thanks
Great review - those pics are pretty funny. We are still happy with this model, we saw it on sale for $500-550 when we bought it.
Its crap. Worst ive used in 40 years
I gotta say LG makes some of the best high efficiency machines on the market I still prefer their front loaders though I’ll also keep my kenmore direct drive but good job LG
Just bought a used set due to your review thanks so much for the great information.
I basically have the older model of this same machine, (which I have several videos on), and I agree, in the sense that I believe it only struggles with comforters.
Great combo, never wished I’d chosen differently. Super happy
My Kenmore is 33 years old and still working, it's not as quiet as it used to be, but it's easy to use and I'm happy with it.
Eugene thank you for posting - I like this for a top load - I sell many of them at home depot!
Although I think agitator-less washers dont perform as well as agitator top load washers,i think this one is a big exeption. Even without a agitator it cleans loads better than some agitator machines. It even performs better than the 2018 Speed Queen and that DOES have a agitator! :)
Ive been washing 40 years and this machine wold be better marketed as a shreader. I hate it. Always use extra h2o and it still doesnt clean or rinse well. Anyone wanna buy mine?
Does a great job with my king sized comforter or sleeping bag. I bought a 19” reacher to get clothes in the bottom
I bought this pair a couple of years ago for. $500 each @ home depot. Good performance so far. I have long arms and can just barely touch the bottom. It should include a lanyard and winch! Lol!
Now rebranded as the 7001. People need to get over the belief that you need waaaay too much water and an agitator to clean your clothes well, and this excellent washer proves it. It all goes back to what you grew up with, but all of us need to face the fact that this is 2021, not 1951. These washers are the future, and we all need to get with the program! Thank you for this video!
The Maytag washer, model: MVWP575GW.... is the ONLY washer made presently that I'd consider purchasing!
Why's that?
Hey Eugene hope you’re doing well.
I ended up purchasing this washer partly based off of the video and review that you did it’s been working fine but as of recently we’ve been noticing some residual flecks staying behind on the clothes so my wife would run a cleaning cycle and we noticed a lot of residue being stuck to the bottom of the pan and in and around all of the drain holes.
We did this a few times with hot water and bleach and it never really seem to get any better.
So we have the extended warranty and I called for service.
A service man came out to check the washer and said that the part inside was bad I believe this was the drive assembly underneath the agipeller.
It was literally caked and discolored with mold mildew soap scum not sure what else is on it but underneath the agipeller assembly was completely covered in black and various color molds.
The repair man said the part was bad but said mechanically it’s fine but it’s just so discolored and pitted that he feels it should not be left in there and we seem to agree.
So we’re waiting for a replacement parts to come in one of which is the Assembly cap Which cracked when he was trying to jimmy it off.
I was curious if you have seen this issue with any other of these models.
We’ve had the washer just over a year and I’m fearful that this is going to continue to happen year after year as this metal piece gets discolored and covered with mold and residue.
I have various pictures captured of the material that is stuck to the assembly unit underneath the agipeller But I just don’t think I can attach them to this format.
Please reach out to me at your convenience and I can try to send them to you in a different way.
Thank you
Alan
Alan Mahler , buy some sodium percarbonate and run your washer through a self clean. What your describing is generally environmental in nature (ie, you, were the Washer lives, or detergent) I see the black goo in all washers in general. It seems to be related to fabric softener
Lorain Furniture and Appliance thanks for the suggestions.
I’ll do this after we get the replacement parts.
Be well
Alan
So, if these "agipellor" style washers are designed specifically for low water use i.e. "high efficiency" why do they perform so poorly with low water levels?
And why do so many people end up using the Water Plus to fill tub with water😁
Just delivered from Home depot yesterday. Washer $498 and matching gas dryer $598 free delivery and $60 off when you buy 2 appliances. I hooked them up and they seem to be doing great. Thanks for your great review. Glad we already have a step stool for my 4ft 10in daughter lol
Oh just wait. I thought everything was fine at first too.
0:45 LG's official name for this piece is the "impeller"
That's also Electrolux' name.
Technically the name of it is a pulsator
After researching reviews if you still want to buy it mine is for sale. Hardly used. I take a lot of my clothes to laundrymat cause its to hard on them .imo
90f is a hot wash in America !? In Europe we may use little water but Hot here is 140f
Also, European machines can go up to 95C
Paul Hojda 100c if you get one of the older German machines
Well, nowadays yes because the manufacturers program them from the factory to use only up to a certain temperature - usually around 90 to 100 F. If you select hot, then it puts in hot water but also adds in cold water to cool it down. The older machines did not do that, they pumped hot water straight into the machine with no added cold water. So, the temperature of that water depended on what you had your hot water heater set at; from 120-160 F normally.
@@Kubulek17 dear God you can boil chicken in your washer😱
Filiberto Barrera yep, it’s pleasant knowing white linen or towels get extra clean
LG and Samsung, wash plate. Whirlpool and its brands, impeller. Now, if there's a long center post built onto an impeller/wash plate, it's an agi-peller. In my book, that is! Lol!
Shouldn't that be an agi-pator?
Got this in the black stainless steel color. The start button sucks. You have to stand there and push is over and over and over again. It took me a few minutes to get my load started this morning.
I have a sister machine to the one in the video. My controls are on a rear panel. Used to think there was an issue with my start button, until I stopped and read the lettering on the panel. "HOLD TO START" Just tapping on it, like the rest of the buttons, doesn't work to start the machine. Just push on it and leave your finger there for a couple of seconds. Starts every time.
Thanks for the info. Got one at LOWES.
Ben. How do you like it so far?
If you would’ve washed the comforter on the heavy duty cycle it would’ve turned over the comforter. I can almost guarantee you it would’ve turned over. Even without water plus. I don’t use water plus on that cycle for mine and my comforter turns over flawlessly. Much better than the bulky cycle. That cycle’s a joke. This washer really can clean just about anything you put in it.
Anonymous our bed is a king? Does your queen comforter have extra room? Wondering if our king will fit???
Yes your King size will fit. Use the Heavy Duty cycle and if you wish you can use water plus, since it’s a really big comforter. I learned that when washing comforters and large blankets in a washplate washer, you want there to be enough water in the tub for the blanket, but not to where the comforter floats. Because then the impeller wouldn’t be scrubbing anything. The comforter needs to turn over to get it cleaned properly. Not just float in water while the impeller gently swishes the comforter around.
How about with jeans?
Just purchased one of these from Lowes for $499. Their Black Friday deals started yesterday.
How do you like it? I'm about to go over to our Lowes and look at one in person.
@@charged I really like it so far. No complaints. It's fairly quiet. Seems to clean clothes well. I've washed all kinds of stuff in it. Big comforters, sheets...I haven't had any issues other than the depth of the tub. I have to really stretch to get the items in the bottom. It's quite deep.
@@amyharris701 Thanks! We did end up purchasing it and bringing it home. Really happy with it. It is quiet enough, maybe just a tad louder than our old top loader. Having no agitator is actually very nice. Makes loading much easier and it still seems to clean clothes nicely. I am liking the "Water Plus" feature for dirtier clothes. So far, so good. I think we did like 10-12 loads this weekend trying all the features, LOL.
When i hear how well this cleans i have to think these people didnt grow up with agitator machines. In my 40 years this machine doesnt even clean half as well as old ones. Not to mention it abuses yoyr clothes even on gentle. Read cr reviews. And if you where anything iver an a cup bra plan on smashing your breasts trying to reach bottom .and im 5'10"
@@glorioskygloriosky688 What washer are you using nowadays that cleans well?
Does this washer have turbo wash. It has the logo on the side, but isn’t on any of the settings.
I tried both Agitator and Non agitator machine. I still refer Agitator model because the non agitator machine always tangle the clothes like jeans or quilts.
And this so called gentler machine is like sandpaper. All my laundry is thinning. The lint screen has 4xs amt of lint and it tears seams and puts holes in my clothes
how long would you expect this washer to last? Are agitator washers better washers. I am only accustomed to the old style, have had a Whirlpool for over 10 years that has sprung a leak that we just can't locate to fix. We are looking at buying a new one and my the times have changed. We are looking at these computer looking washers and the new agitation and feel a bit overwhelmed.
I hearya but I'm staying with my 2017 Speed Queen top loader. I am old school and like the washers with a agitator sad but true. I would love to have an old maytag one day. It's ok to have a dream. Right?
Oh the good ol washers. When they all cleaned.
an agipeller is an impeller with a post in the middle that has the fabric softener dispenser on top
this washer produces residue on my clothes, white residue on black clothes and stuff like that,what should i do?
One salesmen told me that to rectify this flaw you spend more money and buy this thing you put in washer to collect lint. Even extra rinse doesnt solve. This machine grates the fabric and causes extra lint. This machine should be recalled it reminds me of the corvair.
Oh what should you do? Write a letter to lg and where you got it telking them everything wrong and see if you can get a refund.
Don’t use as much detergent
Why does the agipeller in this new top load machine not perform like the one in the portable twin tub machine? Those machines have powerful wash action.
I dont know its just crap.
Based on this review I bought this washer a year ago and it's broken already. It won't spin, it just goes crazy and seems like it's gonna explode. I wash very small loads, I remove garments to balance it, and still it will not get through a spin without loud banging and clanking sounds and I get scared and just stop it. I wish I had just bought an old used machine.
How’s the sound and vibration for this machine. I am looking for something quiet because laundry is on second floor. Please recommend.
it’s the QUIETEST I’ve ever used!! Only had it for two months!! But old one was was broken for a mo. So I did 22 loads in the first 2 days I had it!!!
There is a learning curve if u are coming from a 30 year old kenmore....
Thanks 🙏
Im on a concrete slab its pretty quiet. But so what it cleans like crap.
I’ve had this washer for almost three years. We love it!!! But I’m still not sure what the “downloaded” button is for.
You can download your own cycle, and you can program what fabric will be washed, what kind of stain, and more. It's actually really nice.
Tyler Games how!?
You have to download the "LG smart thinQ" app. (Im pretty sure)
Tyler Games thank you 😊
@@fournomore Did it work?
Where do you find a maintenance manual
Why does the pulsator break so much?
I try to type electric tape
Does anyone know if you have to leave the lid up when not in use to avoid the drum from getting smelly.
So far i havent gotten an odor. But when i do wash its seems the laundry doesnt come out fresh smelling. I had my drum replaced cause it put holes in my clothes and theres an area under tub where the water sits after a wash. Being i dont wash to frequent the water has time to grow microbes which could be why laundry doesnt smell clean. So i now rinse cycle before doing a load. I abhor this machine.
Mr Eugene,
i am in the process of purchasing a new washer and dryer for the home.. I would like to know if the lg dle7200cw is the larger capacity version of the washer in this review. If so, then is held in similarly high regard or should I look elsewhere for my washer and dryer considerations?
What type of washer do you have at home now?
my grandmother has this washer and it pops up a dl code. the door wont latch and washer wont start. is there a way to bypass the door lock and use it that way?
Hey #LorianFurniture what do you think about Miele washers ?
@@LorainFurnitureandAppliance
Okay it would be interesting to hear your opinion about this machines.
Yeah everyone who has a miele never wants a different machine.
I'm German and Miele in Germany is for some people like a Religious thing hahaha.
Cause Miele stands for quality
I know a guy who has a Miele museum with every single Machine that has ever be made
It's Amazing I wish you could visit this place.
I'll send you a link :)
Much Higher quality.
HI: I have the same machine 1 year old , the pulsator assembly was not in working order i pulled it out and found out that the gear inside the pulsator came out lose and the plastic on the pulsator where it goes was worn out i tried and put a electric type around the gear and pouch it in it hold tight and run ok . was wondering that the gear and the pulsator should be one piece . ty
How about with jeans?
Still rough like sandpaper tears seams and doesnt clean well
I would never buy any new washer especially one with a hubcap instead of an agitator. LOL
My 2019 speed Queen washer top load can actually handle a comforter, and this lg washer cannot do shit with one
How do you use the water plus?
Select your cycle then just select water plus. But still the worst washer at cleaning ive used in 50 years
How about with sheets
First time in 50 years i rver got torn sheets. Well after loading carefully go back and make sure there are no air pockets on top. Even so the nachine works like sandpaper all my laundry is thinning. Other than that theres a bunch more problems.
That motor is not direct drive it's rotor driven
There isn’t anything between like a transmission or belt so it’s direct drive
that's why I have a2015 speedqueen top load
After researching this had good reviews when i got it but im leaning toward speed queen now. Im tired of all this complicated crap and ending up with unclean laundry
The fact that those modern day washers having no agitators makes me want to destroy my Samsung washer and pick up a Whirlpool Direct Drive!
#agipeller
Hey thanks for the review, can I ask you for your opinion of LG's higher end top loaders such as the WT7600HVA? I'm interested in the higher capacity and the steam wash feature...
Great, thanks!
There are so many flaws with this series in general. 🏃 run just run
This washer is does not remove stains well, does not have a lint collector, all lint is bundled onto clean clothes. The worst I’ve used
I hate mine!
It puts little pinholes in my t-shirts and any other thin fabric. It is so rough on my clothes even th ough I wash on gentle. Seams are tearing and fabrics are noticeably thinning. It's like sandpaper. I felt around drum and bass carefully with pantyhose on my hand and found nothing. L g told me the drum has lifetime warranty. I bought it at Sears so maybe someone in customer complaints will have mercy of i send a written letter just like last time.
Oh and it doesn't clean well. Clothes come out with spots even though I never used this much about in my life. All whites have come out dingy from the get go. I didn't want a front loader. Wish Ida gone fashion ge. Forget this water saving idea of isn't working here.
So what’s not to love if it gets all of you clothes clean
It doesnt! And takes 3xs as long to not clean. Worst machine ive used in 40 years
Lol that washer sucks
Ooh you may have time to return it.
I think I'll keep my old Kenmore, not as quiet as it used to be, 33 years old and I have had no problems with it. What new machine could do that?
This machine is a gimmick do not purchase!!!!. It has know way to agitate clothes and uses to much water. Your clothes will float on top like a fishing bobber!!!!
Example, you can't wash pillows (they float) and you can't wash shoes or baseball or uniforms, the water simply has know way to force circulation through fabrics. This machine might be good for washing dishes because they will sink, but they won't get clean because there is know agitation .
If you are a pre-washer and enjoy scrubbing dirt, grease and human waste out of undergarments this machine is for you.
Total Epic Fail!!! LOL!!!!
Thats my experience. I have to spend so much time working on pretreating then the cycle can take up to 2 hours
They work good for smaller loads but when washing big items it does a horrible job I have a front loader now it does pillows and big comforters easily
