Built-in Intelligence Takes Out The Guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles-built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right wash motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle 1 , making it the ultimate laundry hack.

Image Feature

A Powerful Yet Gentle Clean In 29 Min 2

A powerful jet spray, plus the tub and motor that rotate independently and in opposite directions, creates a powerful water flow that causes garments to rub against each other throughout the cycle for enhanced washing performance.

Image Feature

Go Big To Save Time And Get More Done

Say never again to never-ending piles of laundry-this mega capacity washer is one of the largest top load in its class 3 to fit more clothes in every load and help you power through laundry day in less time. How big is 5.5 cu. ft.? Big enough to fit a king-size comforter and a full set of bedding in a single load, for big time savings every week.

Image Feature

The Top Load Washer, Completely Reimagined

You've never seen a top load washer like this. The flat front and matte finish are a perfect contrast to the high-gloss sheen of the full-width glass lid. Sleek electronic controls with LED display make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. With style that's right at home in 1st or 2nd floor locations, the SlamProof™ lid is a must-have for gentle, smooth and quiet closing, every time.

Image Feature

Easy Ergonomic Reach

The key to our EasyUnload™ design is hidden beneath the sleek glass lid. We've angled the washer front for a more comfortable, ergonomic reach. Now you can easily retrieve stray items from the bottom of the tub-with no sacrifice in capacity. Pair it with an LG dryer that has the 2-way LG EasyLoad™ door and seamlessly transfer clothes from washer to dryer and dryer to basket.

Image Feature

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Buckle up

BrotherBry 12/3/2024

I wish I could rate this higher as the machine works great My main issue is with the warranty. After purchasing the washer from Home Depot they installed and everything was great so I thought. The drain hose had very small holes in a specific spot causing it to leak. I wasnt able to see this until the end of the first cycle of course and immediately went to the Home Depot to get it fixed after cleaning up my flooded laundry room. They were no help at all and simply gave me a number to call which happened to be LG warranty call center. After calling them they couldnt get someone to come out until 3 weeks later to simply look and see if it was factory damage or user damage. They were no help at all I have 3 kids under 5 and cant go a month without washing clothes. I ended up having to buy a new hose for a brand new machine and replace it myself took 10 mins. Since I replaced it myself I voided the warranty I paid extra for. If you end up getting this and have any issues be ready to jump through hoops to get it fixed

No light

Dwarden 10/9/2024

Pros: very deep washing tub Easy to reach into No agitator Cleans clothes very well AI wash seems to be my go to option Cons: No drum light?? Feel like engineering really missed the mark with that one. Why even have a glass top? No steam options

Never arrived

Limor 9/28/2024

Hard to give it a good rating since we never got it. We had the prior version of this that died 4 years after use frequent use. Instead of waiting to get. Anne motor under the warranty which would take at least 2 weeks we decided to get a new machine since they gave us a 20 discount.this was to be delivered 5 days after ordering we went that route. The last mile deliver provided they used never arrived. I called and they said they can do it 2 days later. 2 days passed and I called to confirm. They said they dont have enough trucks so they can get us 8 days later but it wasnt guaranteed and we couldnt risk it. So we cancelled and get another machine from Lowes next day delivery.

Few quirks but overall happy

Jrp10 9/20/2024

After 20 years my old reliable broke and I was forced to make a choice on a new machine. I was really impressed by the look and features of this washer and it was on a deep discount so I was sold. Its been a month now. It is great for larger loads and I feel like everything comes out super clean. It is not so great for very small loads. The detergent tray always has excess product/water when I am preparing to start the next cycle so thats a little annoying but not a big deal. Overall happy with this machine and hope it lasts a long time.

Washer WT8400CB Review

medapeter 8/26/2024

I couldnt be more pleased with my recent purchase of the LG washer WT8400CB Since getting it on July 27 2024 it has exceeded all my expectations. The design is sleek and modern fitting perfectly in my laundry space. One of the standout features is the Wi-Fi connectivity. It allows me to monitor and control the machine remotely which is incredibly convenient. I can start a load while Im out and the machine even notifies me when its done. The detailed information it provides on energy consumption has also been a game-changer. Im able to track how much energy each cycle uses helping me make more efficient choices and save on electricity bills. The washing performance is outstanding. Clothes come out cleaner and fresher than ever and the machine handles everything from delicate fabrics to heavy-duty loads with ease. Its quiet efficient and built to last. Overall the LG washer has made laundry day easier and more efficient. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable high-tech washing machine

Turbo Wash ruins the life of the laundry

Christine3155 8/6/2024

I am not happy with this washer. Its beautiful and works well. The steel bin holds a lot but it is hard on my clothes. It does not have a gentle cycle. Clothes come out wadded up wrinkled so tightly you cant get the wrinkles out well in the dryer and I fear over time our clothes and linens will look like theyve had 10 years of wear in less than one. Even laundry that shouldnt need a gentle cycle come out wrinkled and turbo washed beyond recognition. Truly I am sorry I bought it. I cant ever just throw a load in and start it. I have to turn down the water to cool adjust the spin and put it on a different adjustment every time trying to keep my laundry from getting ruined. My husband usually helps with laundry but now I have to do it all because he wouldnt know where to begin to turn the features down as much as possible. You cant even turn off the turbo wash. I got it as part of a set at Costco. The dryer works great.

No what I expected

Ssc500 7/31/2024

I was so excited to get my new LG washer delivered today. I started a load of bedding which consisted of a lightweight coverlet one sheet and two pillowcases. The tub filled up with water which was a lot nicer than my last washer that would barely wet the clothes so of course I sat and watched my clothes go through the cycles and to my disappointment the bedding floated at the top while the washer shifted back and forth. The bedding never changed positions as if it was actually being washed. It floated around in a circle and only changed positions in the spin cycle. This is extremely disappointing.

Wifi connected AI wash Quiet

Sandeep1415 7/30/2024

I bought this a month ago or so. Its very well made. I just use AI wash pretty much every time. Very quiet and I just need to drop the liquid detergent and forget about it as it automatically dispenses the liquid. It also looks great in the home : matt black.

Poor Quality Control - Terrible Customer Service

WT8400CB 6/3/2024

LG 5.5 CU. FT. MEGA CAPACITY SMART TOP LOAD WASHER WITH EASYUNLOAD AI SENSING After doing what we thought was a carefully well thought out research we purchased our LG WT8400CB on May 7 it was delivered on May 13. By the way the LG top load washer was #1 on Consumer Reports. However after having done three washes we noticed that the washer was leaking from the bottom. We contacted the LG Warranty Department and spoke to a representative. He was apparently reading script and wanted us to diagnose the problem. He had us take pictures and videos of where we thought the problem was. We even sent the pictures and videos to him. We wasted one hour on the phone with him and our issue was not resolved. We still bad a brand new leaking washer. So we decided to contact our salesman at Best Buy where we had purchased the washer. We were in luck as we were within the 14 day return policy. He gave us the number of the Best Buy Resolution Department. They were helpful and sent out a technician with a couple days. The technician diagnosed the issue as being a bad valve. He arranged to have a new washer sent out to replace the defective one. So we certainly are not pleased by a defective machine the poor customer service we received from the first representative from LG and by not having a properly working machine for one month.
