LG WM2688HNM Front Load Washer Review

Product Review: LG WM2688HNM 27" TROMM Front-Load Washer
Product Type: Front load washer
MSRP: $1599

This washing machine by LG has a very sleek and attractive look and feel. But, is this machine more than fancy blue cover? Does it provides enough features and perform well enough to justify a $1599 price point? Let’s weight the facts and find out.

Positives
The WM2688HNM is designed with a 4 cubic foot laundry drum. The average washer can is built with drums 3 cubic foot capacity, making this washing machine excel in laundry capacity.

The best cleaning feature is the SteamWash system that saves water and energy during the washing process and helps washing clothes better.

The LG WM2688HNM Washing machine includes 5 temperature settings and 9 washing programs that allow users to safely wash a wider range of clothing at home rather than going to an expensive dry cleaning facility.

Negatives
I’ve read several complaints about this washer vibrating during use. It is known to have damaged less solid floors (Wood flooring and linoleum tiling.). However, most people I know are still very happy with their purchase and solved the problem by placing a piece of wood under the washing machine. One resourceful woman said she used a treadmill mat from an old treadmill she bought and that it muffled the vibration noises and prevents damage being done to her linoleum flooring.


Final Analysis
The LG WM2688HNM Washing Machine is an excellent machine with a wide range of very useful features. This LG Washer also scores high marks for energy and water efficiency. However, the vibration issues and its slightly high price point prevent me from giving this washer a perfect score. If you like the stylish blue design (Like I do.) then this is an excellent washing machine that will make an elegant addition to your home.

Final Score: 4 stars out of 5.
