For reference:
When sorted by washing/cleaning performance, LG's WT7700 gets a rating of Very Good and ranks sixteenth in Consumer Reports's current list of 46 tested HE top-loaders. Two of the 46 rank Excellent in cleaning, 31 Very Good, and 13 Good, Fair or Poor. The top-scoring HE toploader received a total score of 73. For comparison: When sorted by washing/cleaning performance, 27 of 44 tested front-loaders (all HE, naturally) received a rating of Excellent in cleaning; 11 Very Good; 6 Good. The top-scoring front-loader received a total score of 85. Remember that there is a 20-point spread within each of their five rating designations (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor). The fact that machines can be sorted by washing performance means CR does, indeed, give each machine a hard number to rank cleaning performance. I wish they'd provide us that number rather than the vague Excellent, Very Good, etc. designation. Personally, I would only purchase a washer or dishwasher that ranks Excellent in cleaning.

Blood is actually verry easy to bleach and Vanish AFAIK is targeted towards medium wash temperartures, so you most likely just bleached the stain, not actually removed it. | ||

It is true that some stains can be broken down by bleach, but blood is surely not one of them. | ||

Wave Force spins the entire tub to create waterfalls that cascade over the clothes. This worked well on the first models, if the load had the right size and an appropriate cycle was chosen. Unfortunately, LG reprogrammed their washers and the tub now rarely spins fast enough to create these waterfalls.
These LG washers do a good job of moving the clothes... if the items are fully submerged and the washer is basically no longer an HE model, though. Comforters, of course, just float and need to be manually turned over. | ||

Here's the Power Cleanse cycle. Lots of agitation - and a water consumption probably higher than any standard top loader.

 My Mom bought a G.E. Harmony Washer and Dryer set when they came out in 2004 and not one problem with either ever..I know it's made by L.G. I think but they are only 4.0 C.F. that thing will fill all the way up and wash like hell. I wonder what gives cause it don't wash like that one at all.. That machine will heat the water and spin at 1100 R.P.M.s.. My Dad still has both of them and they wash and dry great.The clothes roll and boil in that machine when it's turned on super wash..

Too many people have exactly the same complaint across too many different types of internet forums for me to believe that HE toploaders, as a group, clean well. People do tend to accept whatever low standard is the norm in their area. Living my entire life between two very different cultures, I was never able to accept the bullshit in Germany that books should cost three times what they cost in Austria or The Netherlands. I can buy German books from German publishing houses for less in Billings, Montana than in Munich. Stupid. Same with chocolate, beer, bread, butter, just in reverse. When heterosexual male friends notice that my working clothes are way cleaner than theirs, it's not a fantasy driven complaint on exclusive Internet sites, driven by hysterical o/c queens. It's a genuine failure. Water which is hard to treat is should be limited in use to a minimum. Water which is easy to treat may be used copiously. It's that simple.
Ultimately, we need to accept that TL and HE don't work together. FL washers clean very well with very little water. Top Loaders can't.
There's also the not-so-minor point of mold and bacterial growth in the tubs of these cold-water, two-teaspoon whirl-y-gigs. Yech. | ||

beware. If you run a full load, it could explode. I have seen a video review where somebody had a Samsung washer explode as soon as they got it home. | ||
