Awesome upgraded washer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You never truly know how badly you need a new washer until you get the new one and realize how many “issues” you’d been taking for granted. Right away this washer slotted in as the perfect upgrade and there’s been noticeable improvements. The smallest but it represents LG not leaving any detail behind is the bleach cup. In old systems it was a separate part that snapped out but that left it open to rust and grime. This new one is molded in place so you only have to worry about the drain hole becoming clogged.
My very first use went straight for the ThinQ app (there’s two QR codes inside the machine so make sure you grab the right one.) I needed to wash delicates and there’s not a preset n the selector wheel BUT I honestly think this was the best thing for me because once I entered the app I could see why you didn’t want to miss it. Soaking options, multiple rinse cycles, the aforementioned delicate cycle were all there and honestly if the delicates cycle had been on the selector wheel, I probably wouldn’t have checked out ThinQ for a while.
Overall though this is a workhorse, I’ve run at least 12 loads through it this week and it performs like a champ. The only odd item is the detergent cup doesn’t always drain but since I’m using reusable pods in the tub, it hasn’t affected things at all. I’ll probably call in and just validate how to make sure that works well going forward in case I switch back to liquid.
The actual washing though is superb. It seems much smarter than my last top loader that would leave everything plastered to the walls and required drying the clothes to get out the wrinkles. In this case it seems to more gently end things so the clothes aren’t pinned and twisted, so hanging up clothes to dry works much better.
Other improvements I’ve noticed are the lid, the additional cycle options, the spinning impeller (seems to be made of a new material that looks to hold up longer, my last one looked like it had a fight with a wagon of cats), and the top edge of the basin looks like it’s angled to reduce the tendency of debris sitting in there over time. Only time will tell if this one holds up longer or just as long as the previous but shout out to LG that the motor and actual function never failed so I’m looking forward to this one lasting just as long. Definitely feels like they improved all the items I might have noted as wanting to upgrade on my last set and the love the color. Touch panel is fairly fingerprint prone but rest is A+.

Quick and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh man! I had an extra capacity top load washer before this that had issues since I first bought it. I’m so glad to have replaced it with this LG WT8200CL. It’s big, tough, pretty, many washing options. Takes a minute to get use to customizing your wash, but that was it.

Amazing washer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer is amazing. It has an app and allows you to view and change cycles. It has a lot of nice options and even allows you to use AI to determine the recommended settings based on laundry. I find it washes our clothing thoroughly and efficiently. I love my new washer. It has a large capacity and can fit large items like comforters and blankets.

Sleek looking, large tub, great wash!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, this is a beautiful appliance. From the color to the sleek layout of the controls, it looks great and functions very well. Large tub accommodates a large load, washes and spins out perfectly. It's very appreciated in our laundry room.

So BIG!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are loving the size of this washing machine. We can wash all of our bedding in one load. The color is an off black, very sleek. Still discovering all of its features, but the AI setting is awesome. It uses weight and other algorithms to optimize the temperature and spin rate that us best for each load!

Very sleek & quiet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer is just what we needed!! It’s definitely an upgrade, it’s sleek so it takes up less room, but we’re able to still fit a good amount of laundry inside which is a big plus for our family of 6! It is very easy to figure out, and it’s pretty quiet! We noticed you can hardly hear it when it’s running which is amazing! The settings are nice because the time adjusts based off settings, so if you put a big load, it adjusts the time accordingly which is also a great positive for us.
Overall we love it! We couldn’t have asked for a better washer!

Big and sleek
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So it says 5.0 cu.ft. Mega Capacity and means it. So large! Did a queen comforter with no issues at all. Sorta fun to watch trough the glass top. It closes slow, no more slammed top. Still working through the AI parts, but it seems to sense the needed cleaning cycle, and the turbo is really fast. It does seem easy to reach into. I am 5'4" and can reach the bottom without a struggle. Overall great washer so far. The app is cool, and tells me when the cycle is done, nice tool.

So Much Room
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd been using a front load washer for years and years. I wanted to switch back to a top load so I could soak my clothes as well as feeling like a top load washer cleans better. I decided on this LG washer due to the capacity of the washer. I can literally fit 2 loads of my previous washer in one load with this LG washer. I like the AI feature that automatically selects the water level and type of wash as well. Easy to "set and forget". The washer also runs very quiet which is nice.

LG magic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 5.0 cu. ft. Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer WT8200CL offers very impressive features. The washer that cater to efficiency and convenience. Its has a large capacity and allows for thorough cleaning of sizable loads aka cal. King comforter, it’s ideal for my family. The Impeller washing system ensures that our clothes are moved gently without damaging them.
One standout feature I think is the EasyUnload™ design, which makes loading/unloading laundry a heck of a lot easier. The AI Sensing technology thinks for you. It totally wash cycles based on the weight and fabric type of the load, ensuring optimal water and energy usage. So my husband and kids can even do it. Lol
Connectivity options is a game changer the smartphone control, allowing you to start or monitor washes remotely. Which working from home or running errands. I can see if I need to get up or get home and switch the loads.
The impeller system offers a more modern approach to washing, and overall, this washer in my opinion is totally user-friendly features, and smart technology. If you're looking for a capable washer that effectively combines size, efficiency, and smart features, this LG washer is a solid option.

Amazing and efficient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new LG washer! The drum is quite spacious, with my previous washer I always got a little nervous stuffing my king size quilt inside. I had absolutely no concerns here. It cleaned it like a champ.
I love how customized you can tailor each load if necessary. There are so many cool features within the app, I'm still testing them all out. I'm also a big fan of the fact there's a space for powder detergent in the dispenser tray.
Setup and app connection was a breeze. The drain hose has great flex to it but stays in place quite easily. They were very thoughtful in the details that often aren't given a second thought. Very appreciated. All in all I find this to be a great washer that will suit my family for years to come.

Quiet and Big
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used a front load washer for 10 years and going back to top load now and decided to get this washer. Why top load? Easier to load, fits more and can soak clothes. This washer runs very quiet and it's huge! It fit the same amount of clothes I did in my old washer with two loads and even had more room! You can see in the photo below - I put in what would be two loads in my previous washer and there is still room. The clothes washed perfectly and came out clean. The AI is supposed to figure out what kind of clothes and how full the washer is to determine the best way to wash them. So far, it's done well and no issues. The black color is nice but shows fingerprints really easy, but it's easy to clean off with a damp cloth.

Needs more spin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start with the not so great, the spin cycle leaves clothes a bit wetter than I'm used to. I've most recently used front load washers so maybe this is just how top loaders work. My clothes definitely came out clean, but the extra water meant more work for my dryer. For such a large drum, this washer doesn't take up much space, the build is really efficient. The soap dispensers slide back into the chasis, giving you full access to the drum, so loading and unloading are nice and easy. The setup was easy and the LG ThinQ app makes keeping track of the cycle status a breeze. There are plenty of cycle options, extra rinses and the like, but I do wish there was one for an extra spin. There is an option for download able cycles, so maybe that's something LG can do in the future. Now that I've mentioned the not so good, let's talk about what works. This washer is efficient and definitely get clothes clean, my mother does a lot of gardening and her clothes come out perfectly clean each time, I definitly think this upright washer cleans better than front loaders, and there is the added benefit of being able to leave the top open, nobody wants a smelly washer. I like all the cycle options that are included, without becoming too complicated. This is definitely a washer you can throw your clothes in, add soap to the dispenser and go about your business. If you're looking for an upright washer, you can't go wrong with this one.
