Product review (1 stars): LG: the Ramsay Snow of the appliance world
Do you like the idea of skydiving with a parachute that has a 50/50 chance of opening? Do you enjoy colonoscopies without sedation? If yes to either question Then by George an LG Washing Machine would be right for you!
I had been tickled pink by my LG washer & dryer set for about 2 years. Until said washing machine flooded our townhouse whilst I was running it's Tub Clean cycle. If you own an LG washing machine, by the way, you will get to know that Tub Clean cycle Rather well as the unit constantly smells of rotting eggs. Anyway, this particular morning the washing machine decided to spew forth a torrential downpour that caused it to rain through the 2nd floor laundry area into our ground floor foyer/garage area. Did I mention the ankle deep river with a current that was our upstairs hallway?!? I probably should reference that... Even with the almost immediate shut off of all water to the house, the impact was significant.  All in all: about $14000 worth of damages to the home.
LG customer service has been horrific. They continued to reference the event as a "leak" despite my repeated efforts to semantically clarify the incident. LG has taken the stance that as the unit was out of warranty, they "can not be responsuble" for its malfunction or ensuing damages. They have refused to pay for/ assist with our homeowners deductible  &  even charged me over $200 for a "service visit" for repairs to the machine wherein I was told there appeared to be nothing wrong with the unit. Moreover, I "shouldn't worry" about using it in the future. He changed an overflow valve Anyway even though it did not appear to be damaged. Oookkkkaayyy. I feel super confident now with my sparkly front load LG tsunami maker because DUH, I Shouldn't Worry, right?!? Besides, LG stands by the "repair" for 90 days.

So YES, if you like living dangerously & want a major appliance within your household to be manufactured  by a company that behaves in a manner consistent with a sociopath, then splurge & get this LG Washing Machine.
