[CDATA[ Hey Expo TV this is Margret and today I'll be doing a review of my LG washing machine. This is model number WM2016CW. As you could see this is a pretty big machine. It's actually 3.6 cubic square feet and just to show you how much that is exactly it's actually about this much of clothes. I have it all in here. And as you could see there is actually a plenty of space left so I could throw probably another half of that in. So it's actually a lot of clothes. So we could start with this top part here. So first of course we have our soap dispenser and it says it takes HE detergents only which is actually pretty standard for all front loading washing machines which this is. And the reason for that is HE detergents actually produce less suds. They are less soapy so it actually doesn't clog up the drum so it makes it more efficient. Let's see lets come back here to the top. So we press the ON button. And it makes all these noises and it lights up. It's kind of a cool machine like that so with this dial you choose the kind of cycles you want. So we have the Cotton Towels the Normal the Perm Press the Delicates and the Hand Wash. And depending on which cycle you choose it gives you the estimate time. For example Delicates it's 34 minutes but Perm Press is 53 minutes. And lets see also you have all these options here you could Delay the wash Water Plus which means I think it uses even less water per cycle and extra rinse you could add. Also you could choose all your settings here so you choose this water temperature over here the Wash The Spin Speed you choose how fast you want the spin cycle to spin. Soil Level you choose how dirty your clothes are. And Beeper you choose how loud you want the beeper to sound. Also this is pretty handy you can add any cycle to your wash an extra cycle. So you have your standards the Pre Wash the Rinse and Spin the Quick Cycle the Stain Cycle and the Tub Clean which is actually empty cycle that you use to actually clean out your tub. So once you choose all that stuff it gives you the estimated time in this little colorful window here. And then you set it off then you are ready to go. The reason why we chose this machine over others because it's actually a quiet operation machine and which means the engine of this machine is actually pretty quiet it's pretty noiseless. So since we live in an apartment building we don't want the people below us to complaint every time we do a wash. And basically they don't the usual wash of this machine is pretty quiet. The spin cycle is just the most loudest cycle of the machine. We usually set to medium and you pretty much don't hear it at all. We sit in the next room we don't hear it the floor doesn't shake nothing vibrates. So that's pretty good. It's the reason why we chose this machine and it's so far it's been pretty good. Other than that again this machine is very pretty it's very roomy. A big tip about front loading watching machine whenever they are not in use it's recommended that you always leave the door open just because mold and other things can build up. And so any kind of precipitation or any kind of moisture gets left inside you should you should always keep the door open so it can evaporate. The same thing with the soap dispenser. Always leave it open whenever it's not in use. I know it's impractical if you have small children but it's always recommended because front load washers are known to grow mold so just always leave the door open that's my tip. That's what I figured out from all my research. Anyways again overall this machine is pretty great. It cleans our clothes well. The spin cycle is really good it rinse out clothes almost dry. Usually we use a normal cycle which is about 53 minutes long but as you saw there are shorter cycles and we love it. It's an Energy Star appliance so it's energy efficient as well as water efficient. And we are really happy with it. Again this is the LG WM2016CW. Thanks Expo. ]]
