So relieved!
I was forced into this purchase because of venting issues in our condo when we had to move to a 'vent-less' dryer. I had been told to hold on to our old combo-top-loading washer as long as we could because it was a dependable workhorse. So I faced this washer with trepidation. I have been relieved and surprised with how nicely this unit operates. I know this sounds 'luke-warm' and I don't mean that as I have given it an 'excellent' rating. The clothes are clean, the cycles are no longer than my old unit, and I like the multiple setting options much better than my old limited machine.

Smart Washer; great buy
I’ve had this about a few weeks and so far it’s been a great buy. The washing seems superb and I’ve had no issue with it. It’s a huge upgrade from my old washer. I now have the matching set and I’m satisfied.

Love My New Washer
I've had this washer a few weeks now, and I'm very happy with it. It's smaller than I expected, but that works fine for me because I live in a condo and have limited space. My clothes come out fresh and clean every time. And I like that it has an extra hot water setting, as well as a small load cycle. I leave the washer door open when not in use to avoid the mildew smell that others complain about. If I had to say anything negative about it, it would be that it vibrates during the faster spin cycles, even with it being level, and that causes the floor and walls to rattle a bit. But I live on the 2nd floor, so it wouldn't be a problem if it was on a cement floor, like in a garage. But still, I think it's hardly worth complaining about, given how happy I am with the washer overall.

How can you change or get rid of he water sensing. I want to use more water.
Hello, the load sensing is not an option and can not be changed or deactivated. Your machine has many different options you can select to add addition wash time and water. You can use Pre-wash, Water Plus and Extra Rinse to add water and extend the cleaning time of your cycle. You can also use Heavy Duty or Bulky/Large and always select Heavy for the Soil Level. If you need additional help or troubleshooting, give us a call at 1-800-243-0000 or drop us a line on Twitter at @LGUSSupport or on Facebook at @LGUSSupport when you are with the unit. ^AC

This washing machine does not show any water level in the tub wile washing, Is that normal?
The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. It may seem there is no water inside the drum in some cycles, but this is normal. ^CP

Is there a pedestal available to fit the compact washer?
Hi Raylene. The only LG Laundry Pedestals we currently have are for LG Front Load Washers and Dryers that have a width of 27" or 29". Regrettably, we do not make any that are compatible with the LG 2.3 cu. ft. Capacity 24” Compact Front Load Washer w/ NFC Tag On, Model # WM1388HW or washers that have a 24" width...^IFV

Hi, I'm interested in this model with a hand wash option, so what's the " water plus"? It's a kind of deep water wash? Can I set this option with small load?
Hi Bananana. Your interest in the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 2.3 cu. ft. Capacity 24” Compact Front Load Washer w/ NFC Tag On, Model # WM1388HW is greatly appreciated. As you noted, this washer does have a Hand Wash cycle. As a High-Efficiency washer, this machine rotates laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating your clothing. It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle. The Water Plus option can be used to add extra water to the wash and rinse cycles and it is available in all the cycles on this machine. The Speed Wash cycle is designed for quickly washing lightly soiled clothing and small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments...^IFV

How do I use the ‘Tag On’ feature with my iPhone to download cycles? When I bought the washer I was told I could do that. I downloaded the Smart ThinQ app on my iPhone but did not see an option to download cycles.
Hello, "Tag On" is an NFC function, exclusive to Android devices. ^AC
