LG WM2101HW 4.0 cu. ft. white front-load washer

The magic word

If there were just one word you would want to hear on laundry day, what might it be? "Automatic", perhaps? Well, that's just what the WM2101HW from LG delivers. Using internal sensors, the WM2101HW's SenseClean system and LoadSense technology determine a load's size and properties, and then automatically sets wash parameters like water level and water temperature, offering an optimal wash for each and every load you wash.

Generous space and a gentle touch

Front-load washers take doing laundry to new heights, what with improved efficiency and the use of a gentle tumbling motion instead of a rough agitator system during the wash cycle. LG's WM2101HW, as it happens, takes front-load washers to a new level of performance. First, a 4.0 cu. ft. wash tub is one of the largest currently available, making it possible to wash fewer, larger loads for time and energy savings. Second, a NeveRust stainless steel tub construction not only delivers years of wear-resistant performance, but becomes polished over time with use, growing even more gentle on your clothes. Generous and gentle . . . the WM2101HW from LG.

Breaking news

In a recent poll of common household bacteria, 99 of every 100 bacteria named the LG WM2101HW front-load washer as the biggest threat to their safety. Sporting an NSF-certified Sanitary cycle, the WM2101HW raises the temperature of the wash water to 158°F — cool enough to still be gentle on clothes and hot enough to eliminate up to 99% bacteria. Now that's clean.

No shortage of options

No two loads of laundry are exactly alike. Accordingly, the standard half-dozen or so wash cycles offered by most washing machines just don't fit all of your washing needs. The WM2101HW from LG, however, offers a diverse array of wash programs and options, as well as water temperatures and soil-level settings that allows you to customize each load of laundry. Choose from eight wash programs, including the Sanitary cycle, Delicates, and Speed Wash. Nine different wash options span the range from a Prewash and an Extra Rinse to a 19-hour Delay Wash. Further, five wash/rinse temperatures and five soil levels allow for precision washing. And, all the while, the WM2101HW uses LG's RollerJet washing system to gently and effectively clean your duds.

The ENERGY STAR

Okay, so you've probably heard of ENERGY STAR. You know, the U.S. government program that sets energy-efficiency guidelines for a variety of household appliances and electronics. Accordingly, you know that a product bearing an ENERGY STAR qualification delivers energy-efficient performance that both reduces resource consumption and saves you money on utility costs. Now, while the WM2101HW front-load washer from LG does indeed sport an ENERGY STAR qualification, that' only half of the story. The WM2201HW, in fact, exceeds ENERGY STAR requirements by a minimum of 39%. Discover energy-efficient laundry performance with the WM2101HW.

I replaced a machine that I bought in 1994 that I loved. This machine cleans better, e.g. whites are whiter and colors dont fade. It also holds my king size quilt though I dont know that it would hold a king size comforter. It is so easy to use that my husband who hasnt been allowed near a washing machine in 30 years can and does use it. The only thing I dont like about it is that it can rock and roll with a heavy load. My local dealer tells me that LG does make stabilizer pads for the feet and I think I am going to try them.

We have had this machine in use now for two months and absolutely love it. Our clothes come out cleaner than they did when we were using a standard top load washer. Havent had any problems with the machine. Its easy to use, is loaded with features, and lowered our energy and water bills. We have two young kids and it seems like we are constantly washing clothes, imagine that. The capacity of the machine is quite large, I can stuff all sorts of clothes in there and go. The sales staff at Vanns were great to work with and answered all questions that we had. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
