AB1200 Product Details

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 and 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.

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

High Tech but low quality

Submitted by RayRay75 - 1/29/2025

I bought this washer from Best Buy and 4 months later it broke. The top load door latch broke and it would no longer close latch or wash. LG refused to fix stating latch and door were not covered under warranty. Additionally Best Buy refused to take it back or fix it because it was over 90days old and still covered under manufacturer/lg warranty.

Great Wash Options Efficiency at Great Price

Submitted by MillerFamilyZoo - 12/31/2024

We replaced our 10yo LG Top Loader after the control board went out on the old one. We were so impressed with how the old unit worked we continued with LG. This new unit does loads even faster uses less water but plenty to saturate all items and clean well is very simple to use and is a great value for the cost. The new design makes reaching items in the bottom of the tub easier. Weve had the new unit for a couple weeks and have run NUMEROUS loads of every kind and variety including small loads to very full loads - everything comes out clean It is amazing how it can spin at 950rpm and be so quiet with virtually no vibration. Very easy to set up and maintain. Control panel took some adjusting to use but is simple once we identified our preferred settings. Black top and control panel does gather fingerprints but is easily wiped down. Consumer Reports had this listed as their 2nd best Top Loading Impeller Washer only 1 point behind the #1 washer which was also an LG We are very pleased with our purchase. Highly recommended

LG appliances use less water detergent

Submitted by Waxhaw Granny - 12/22/2024

I studied Consumer reports for WasherDryerAnd Refrigerator for my new home in 55+ community. My large capacity top loading washer is amazing It has so much room and uses less soap and water It spins out so much water that the dryer can dry a load in just a short time

Love the large capacity and technology

Submitted by Tab87 - 12/19/2024

We bought this when we decided to get rid of our old front loader. I love the large capacity. What I used to do in 2-3 loads I can do in 1 now. I also love that I can wash my king size comforter in it I like the variety of washes from a deep wash to a quick one. I really enjoy that it has an app and will notify me when the cycle ends. I do find it is gentler on the clothes than the front loader or an agitator. However it hasnt had any trouble getting out my 3year old or 8month olds messes. I have had to do a little pre scrub or a second wash every once in a while on the 8month olds messes but it still gets the job done.

Cant soak pre-wash.. frustrating

Submitted by Question drain - 12/11/2024

Someone else reviewed it and LG incorrectly said there was a soak/prewash option available. There is no pre wash on this model so please correct customer service response. If you pause the cycle part way after it fills it auto drains after 4-5 minutes so thats not a work around. Incredibly frustrating. Can you add a downloadable cycle which has a prebuilt soak for 1 or 2 hours? Otherwise its a good washer but this is kind of crazy to buy a washer where you cant pre-soak. Also I spoke with customer service and there is no downloadable cycle with a soak feature. The heavy duty cycle does some for 10 min but thats not enough.

Good features works well 1 major flow.

Submitted by Question drain - 12/11/2024

Happy with its ability to clean and most features. ThinQ app works very well. Seems to clean well. It has a major flaw that LG should fix. THERE IS NO SOAK FEATURE Its an $800 machine and the only way to soak is to cheat the system. LG can you create a Downloadable SOAK cycle? or possibly 3 of these? Allow all the buttons to be editable. One Soak downloadable CYCLE could fill the tub pause for 30 min the finish the cycle. The other for 1 hr maybe a third for 2 hours? Please fix this. Otherwise it would get 5 stars. Current work arounds. Fill it up yourself Bucket-hose-whatever and soak it. Im not certain if you can manually pause the cycle once its filled will give it a try soon. Customer service mentioned the Bedding cycle may have a soak time? But thats not described or documented in any manual. Can you clarify this? I had a 10 year old machine with soak and no spin feature. I tried buying another LG machine first but you couldnt turn off the spin cycle for very delicate items. This one you can turn spin off. But not having a soak feature is a big deal and I didnt notice that until buying. LG can you fix this?

NO Soak option - look for another model

Submitted by Reb102 - 12/10/2024

I just replaced by old LG washer from 2011 with this new 8400 model and as the reviewer Logan101 said - there is NO soak option The response from the LG Digital Care Team is NOT incorrect as there are no cycles or cycle options for soak that can be downloaded for this model. I started a chat session to get support and was told to use the Heavy Duty cycle but there is no soak option with it. I would have picked another model spending more if necessary to have a soak option so be aware if you need this. Shame on LG for not specifying somewhere in the description. My 2011 model has this option why get rid of something so simple??

Quality Washer

Submitted by Rothy58 - 12/6/2024

WT8400CW we bought the LG washer. I like everything about it. The detergent dispenser needs to be relooked at. After washing theres some water left in the detergent section. I need to call CS cause I have read many reviews and this is one complaint another customers have made. Other that that we always buy LG products and are very happy with their products. We love the touch screen control on the washer and dryer. I didnt like my front loader any more with the rubber seal was always hard for me to clean. I felt the rubber seal had a lot of muck with black spots that didnt come out when you would clean it. I bought a Lg top loader and I am so happy big did. I love they have a 10 yr motor warranty.

Submitted by SuttonFTW - 10/28/2024

I bought this washer after a couple of years of being in a new home. We simply believe this was a great investment as previously we had a refurbished washer. We love all the features and the fact it sends phone notifications to let us know when the cycle is over especially since have 2 boys we forget about switching clothes based on our busy schedule. I would definitely recommend this to family friends

Terrible panel design/Good washing capacity

Submitted by Alane younger - 10/22/2024

3 star review mainly because you cannot see the power button in a room where the light is not right on top of the machine. Who ever has ever heard of this? A design flaw for sure. The panel is difficult to see in general. My other gripe is the horrible directions and does not come with quick start easy to understand directions. I have no complaints when it comes to washing and the clothes getting clean A on that. I wanted a large capacity to wash my blankets and heavy loads. Fix the panel design.

We bought an LG washer and dryer in 2023 and in 2024 decided to sell our house. The buyers wanted both items as they knew they were new with warranties on them. So we had to buy replacements. We bought new AI washer and dryer set in 2024. We love the AI feature where we can just set it and the computer figures out how to wash or dry the clothes. Also love the scheduling features too.

Good but not Great

Submitted by Damnyankie - 9/6/2024

We bought this about a month ago and it has been a learning curve as it is so different from our other washers. The one thing I do not like is the amount of water in the tub on a normal cycle as it isnt enough to cover the clothes in it. This leaves them dirty and smelly. We have to use another setting to get enough water but other than that we like it.

Delighted with the large capacity. Well-pleased with its performance really like the sensing for needed water process at the start of the wash. Glad I bought it. I do have a few questions: why is the top slanted so it cant be used to fold and sort clothes from the dryer? why did I have to call your 800 number to get a real owners manual since the book which came with the dryer is worthless?
