LG SIGNATURE 5.8 cu. ft. Large Smart wi-fi Enabled Front Load Washer

The LG Signature WM9500HKA is part of the Washing Machines test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Front-load washers models like the Signature WM9500HKA are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. This reflects the degree of color change to swatches of fabric that were included in an 8-pound test load of mixed cotton items using the machines' most aggressive normal cycle. (We do not use special cycle or option buttons.)

Washing performance:

This reflects the degree of color change to swatches of fabric that were included in an 8-pound test load of mixed cotton items using the machines' most aggressive normal cycle. (We do not use special cycle or option buttons.)
