Product Overview


The LG WM3001HRA is classified as an ultra-capacity washer. With a massive capacity of 4.5 cubic feet, this laundry machine can handle most types of clothes, fabrics, and textiles, from tiny pairs of socks to thick comforters.

This washing machine makes use of a number of technologies researched and developed by LG to offer every household a fully featured appliance that is on the cutting edge of washer technology.

Aside from having a whole host of features, the LG WM3001HRA is also energy efficient and certified by Energy Star. Read on to learn more about the advanced features of the LG WM3001HRA.

TrueSteam Technology

This LG-patented technology was developed to add another level of functionality and practicality to the LG WM3001HRA. With the use of TrueSteam Technology, this washing machine generates and uses steam as part of the cleaning process.

The steam generated by the washer aids in removing odors and wrinkles in your clothing. In effect, the machine replaces ironing chores with a simple, automated process.

Wash/Rinse Optimizer

Another innovative feature included on the LG WM3001HRA is the Wash/Rinse Optimizer. The washing machine is able to monitor the consistency of the water for adjustments in the cycle length.

Depending on the detergent level and how hard the water is, the washer adjusts the timer for the cycle length. This feature helps in water and energy efficiency, as well as the cleaning efficiency.

LCD Display

The LCD digital display on this washer gives users an easy and convenient way to view information concerning the washing cycle. As users make changes to the cycle settings and options, these changes are reflected on the LCD display. The LCD display is also available in English, Spanish, or French.

TrueBalance Anti-Vibration System

The TrueBalance Anti-Vibration System aids in reducing the sound and movement caused by vibrations. But despite its mammoth capacity, the LG WM3001HRA operates more quietly than other washers.

Advantages


The TrueBalance Anti-Vibration System makes the LG WM3001HRA a good choice for anyone planning to put their washing machine on the second floor. Because the flooring on upper levels of homes and buildings is normally less sturdy than the ground floor, having a washing machine on an upper level can cause shaking or rocking.

The suspension system used in TrueBalance technology reduces the shaking, rocking, and noise generated by the washer.

The wide variety of washing programs makes the LG WM3001HRA a powerful washer with settings for practically any kind of laundry cycle. In totality, this washing machine has nine washing programs.

Some of the additional options available include five wash and rinse temperature levels, five spin speeds, five soil levels, and 13 others options.

Another advantage of the LG WM3001HRA is that it comes in three colors such as white, wild cherry, or pure silver. This means that consumers can find the perfect laundry machine to fit their interior design and their personal taste.

They can also enjoy a one-year warranty on parts and labor, two-year warranty on the control board, and a seven-year warranty on the motor. Furthermore, the drum also comes with a lifetime warranty, so users can be sure that they get the most out of their washing machine investment. Still, buyers should check with the dealer or seller prior to the purchase.

Disadvantages


Perhaps the first, most noticeable disadvantage of the LG WM3001HRA is its price tag. This washing machine costs more than $1,500 at some retailers. Still, buyers get good value for their money, if they are willing to make such an investment.

All of the different settings can be confusing or overbearing for users who want just the basics. Because of the many options and settings available on the washer, some users may ruin or damage their clothes by choosing the wrong settings.

Final Thought


The LG WM3001HRA is a great washing machine that has a lot to offer. Good looks, efficient use of water and energy, and advanced technologies are just some of the many benefits that users can enjoy. For users who are accustomed to traditional or older models of washing machines, the LG WM3001HRA may take a little getting used to. They must take a little time to read and understand the user manual so they can make the most of using this washing machine.

The bottom line is that LG has created yet another quality product to provide users with the greatest of convenience and ease, not to mention, some extra clean clothes, too.

bad product
by: Anonymous

I purchased the LG steam washer 2.5 years ago. I have had to have it serviced 7 times. I purchased the extended warranty and they will send a small check as it is now considered lemon. The repair company told me it is not an uncommon problem to have sensor issues which cause the machine to act as if there is a motor overload.

The company itself suffers with and inability to have social skills with assisting the consumer.What ever happened to serving the customer with ethics?

poor customer servcie
by: Henry


I purhcased an LG Steam Washer and Driyer less than 3 weeks ago. So far they are working fine. While learning how to use some of the controls, I found that 1 accessory was missing - the liquid detergent tray. I went back to Home Depot and found that they were going to charge me for the part. I called LG and they say the same thing......

My perspective is that I spent almost $3K and they can't send me a tray that probably costs 75 cents to make. I was given a number to Home Depot Parts and also call LG. LG was no help; they gave me info to their distributor (they're not 24x7 shop). The distributor have a website but I don't have a part number to perform a search and their site is not user friendly.

The product seem to be very good but the Corporate policies and customer service need a lot to be desired. No one told me that the part is missing and I have no idea that the part exists as part of the washer.

Typical of why the economy is they way it is. They shouldn't even call it customer service. There is none.
