lg WT1001CW - features
If you look at the capacities of other top-load washers we've reviewed, you might think that the LG Extra Large Capacity WT1001CW has a confusing name. Its tub capacity of 3.4 cubic feet isn't the largest, but it's more than capable of handling large and extra-large loads.
This top-load washing machine offers eight cycle options, which falls short compared to similar units we reviewed. The cycles do include options such as a tub clean cycle, bulky cycle and a speed wash cycle. You also get seven wash options, which include an extra rinse and a fabric softener setting. This top loader also offers three soil levels and five temperature settings.
The control panel is on the front of this machine, unlike most traditional top loaders. This convenient placement makes the controls easier to reach and read. The panel and LED display are also waterproof. If you accidentally spill any detergent or water on the panel, you can just wipe it off.
This top loader has many other great features, including vibration control. This enables you to install and use this top loader on upper floors or near high-traffic rooms without disturbing anyone. There's also a delay wash option, which lets you set the cycle to start up to 19 hours later.
This top-load washing machine is Energy Star qualified. To run it every year, it will cost you about $18 and 165-kilowatt hours. To save more on energy and costs, you have the option to run loads using an eco-warm temperature setting or a cold wash cycle.
This LG Extra Large Capacity has one of the best warranty options for top-load washers. In addition to a one-year overall warranty for parts and labor, you can also count on a 10-year warranty for the motor and a lifetime warranty on the wash drum.
If you ever have problems with your machine, you can use LG's convenient Smart Diagnosis option, which lets you troubleshoot your problem through an app or on the phone. With this option, you don't have to spend time trying to explain what's going on with your machine.
After downloading the LG app to your smartphone, you can have the washing machine transmit information through your phone. The app will then read the information and give you instructions on how to fix the problem. If you'd rather talk to someone in LG's customer service, you can follow a few simple steps to have your machine send information through your phone's receiver.
