Large capacity
Claimed quick washes
New rinse technology
Flimsy door
Introduction
LG brought a whole complement of household appliances to this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, including the LG WM8000 washer. LG claims it’s one of the fastest, largest-capacity clothes washers in its class, both claims we’d love to test as soon as we can get it into our lab. No word on how much it costs, but with such an impressive resume, we imagine that it won’t come cheap.

In fact, this machine is a little worse than some more traditional appliances – controls are limited and there’s no separate Timed Dry cycle. This certainly isn’t a bad dryer, but don’t let yourself be swayed by novelty – retailers offer this for prices ranging from $795 to over $1000, and there are other standard machines available for those prices that are just as good, if not better.
