Product review (1 stars): Floods your home constantly, motor burns out, keeps lint in the machine, ugly and impossibly terrible design. Major regret.
Like flooding your home? This appliance is for you! You have to drain the tube at the bottom of the machine after pretty much every use or it's motor dies and you have to replace it yourself. If you forget to screw the stopper back in place or it's not put in perfectly, the next load of washing machine water ends up on your floor. I've had to deal with 5 floods this year all because of this horrible feature. This machine is described as being smart and technological, however it has ZERO ability to tell you that the stopper is not in place or that it's flooding your house. A SMART machine should not flood your house. I can't believe I paid this much for the worst machine I've ever dealt with. And since you need to use this ridiculous feature every time you wash, you pretty much have to keep that ugly flap open on the bottom left of the machine, and have an ugly tube sticking out permanently...or risk having someone forget to drain and clear the thing, and then deal with another motor breaking. Each time someone does the laundry you're risking a flood or burnt out engine. This is not attractive, not smart, and a horrible design. Major fail, LG. And what genius thought up the lint trap feature?? It literally cakes lint onto the rim of the washing machine, so you have to drag your freshly cleaned items across all of the pet hair and lint it has collected. There are no devices or anything provided to remove the hair, you're expected to scratch at it like a wild animal to remove whatever hair you can. Huge, huge, HUGE oversights made when designing this machine. LG, TEST YOUR PRODUCTS before selling them on the market. A washing machine should NOT destroy your home, it should make life easier. LG makes life impossibly hard. I would have been better off with a used $200 machine. I'm never buying LG anything again. I've included a photo of after I've squeegee'd half an inch of soapy laundry water off my floor, and the worthless ugly tube that makes all of that 5am misery possible.
