Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Fantastic provided you use the funtions it has, to make life easier

 

I've had lg wd1238c for 6 years with no problems. I wash 2/3 times/day mostly very large white massage towels and it has handled everything i've thrown at it. Please read your instruction manual you can press 'pause' wait a minute for the safety...

Very high speed spin, pause to add forgotten items, delay wash function

I should have bought the larger model to get more towels/wash, waiting 2 minutes to oped door after end of wash beeper

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Efficiency seems great, but clothes just need additional washes

 

We bought this machine on the basis it would be water efficient, and 'everybody' was getting a front loader. (We were coming from being a Top Loader Fisher Paykel users) This machine has never washed my husbands filthy clothes properly. I often have to...

Water efficient (on face value), space saving (can put dryer on top), looks sleek and modern

Does not wash really dirt items, rubber seal prone to mould, cannot add items once cycle started

Disappointed

 

I am an optimist. Eager to do the right thing, this is my second water-saving front-loader, but I have basically just tolerated this machine since buying it. Weight redistribution has always been the major disadvantage of this machine, are all...

I liked the way I could programme it to finish just before I got home. Good variety of programmes.

Only 3-yrs-old, my LG has just blown itself up while trying to redistribute the load for spinning, tripped the power and lucky it didn't blow everything else on that circuit up with it. What is wrong with today's whitegoods. My mum's 30-yr-old...

Thought it was good!

 

Seemed to be fine. Left powder residue on clothes if we used the recommended amount of detergent. The cycles were longer than the old Simpson machine but it is a water miser. At three years old, only light use, a very loud bearing type noise started on...

Efficient and quiet in normal operation.

Motor failed at three years. Not eliable according to repair technician.

Good

 

Excellent machine after LG serviceman explained the correct amount of detergent and need to use a cleaner every 3 months and minimize use of fabric softener(builds up sludge and holds lint - can dirty clothes)Hard towels are a fact of life on front...

Hot water inlet, gentle on clothes, no problems with lint, vibration or noise, prewash, extra rinse, 30 minute cycles,pause to add items, cleans better than our previous top loader, excellent paint work after 4 years (unlike some)Now trouble up until...

Pump a little noisy when draining. Drum bearings have just become noisy- lucky we have 6 year warranty

Terrible

 

If it weren't for the cord and me pushing it back once and a while it would probably go for a walkabout in my lounge room. I tried adjusting the feet but not much good. Now it washes for about 20mins then freezes and makes a humming noise with all the...

Attractive design and all the facy stickers, fuzzy logic whatever it meant.

LG=Lousy Goods. Bad technology coupled badly built. My machine broke down a week after the warranty expired. It has never been good from the start: .Noisy and vibration. .Left lint and detergent residue on clothes. .Clothes were all crunched up, needed...

OK

 

Had a top loader for 11 years never had a problem and the washing was great everytime always came out clean and never had to rewash. Would buy front loader again but not this brand. I too like many did my homework before purcahse and relied on the...

Wash time for quick wash is ok, looks great too, capacity is perfect for a family of six

Clothes come out too crease, coloured clothes has to be washed twice sometimes for they have dark marks on them like the detergent was not doing its job like brown gooey stuff, white clothes also comes out with streaky dirt marks. Have now had for 3.5...

Good

 

A good machine. Have been using for 2 years, twice a day at least, and it has not missed a beat. Husband works in coal mine and his work clothes are put on prewash and then cotton wash at 60 degrees. They come out nice and clean apart from some marks...

I like the wash options available on this machine. I like the spin cycle choice also.

As mentioned in an earlier review. There is no lint filter. I did have some trouble with getting the feet adjusted to prevent shaking during the spin but once that was worked out we never had another problem.

Bad

 

Purchased in Jan 09. Worded great. Now makes loud grinding noise in spin cycle. Authorised repairer indicated it does happen and can't do anything about it. I'm checking if LG will help. Very unfortunate.

Was very quiet.

Now very noisy in spin cycles.

OK

 

I chose this washing machine based on the Choice report. Our 20 year old Hoover had bitten the dust, and a replacement was urgent. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I am disappointed with the lint deposits, and with the slight greyness of my...

Rinse plus option (I have eczema), also options for quick wash cycles (ideal for sports gear and lightly soiled garments); like the 'cuckoo call' notification that cycle has finished

Doesn't remove lint at all well. My old Hoover machine had a lint filter which was easy to remove and clean. The 1238c doesn't appear to have any lint filter (unless someone pinched the part when it was in the showroom!)
