WT8480CL by LG - 5.5 cu. ft. Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer with EasyUnload™ & AI Sensing

Built-in Intelligence Takes Out The Guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles-built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right wash motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle , making it the ultimate laundry hack.

A Powerful Yet Gentle Clean In 29 Min

A powerful jet spray, plus the tub and motor that rotate independently and in opposite directions, creates a powerful water flow that causes garments to rub against each other throughout the cycle for enhanced washing performance.

Go Big To Save Time And Get More Done

Say never again to never-ending piles of laundry-this mega capacity washer is one of the largest top load in its class 3 to fit more clothes in every load and help you power through laundry day in less time. How big is 5.5 cu. ft.? Big enough to fit a king-size comforter and a full set of bedding in a single load, for big time savings every week.

The Top Load Washer, Completely Reimagined

You've never seen a top load washer like this. The flat front design and sleek electronic controls with LED display make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. With style that's right at home in 1st or 2nd floor locations, the SlamProof™ lid is a must-have for gentle, smooth and quiet closing, every time.

Easy Ergonomic Reach

The key to our EasyUnload™ design is hidden beneath the sleek glass lid. We've angled the washer front for a more comfortable, ergonomic reach. Now you can easily retrieve stray items from the bottom of the tub-with no sacrifice in capacity. Pair it with an LG dryer that has the 2-way LG EasyLoad™ door and seamlessly transfer clothes from washer to dryer and dryer to basket.

ThinQ® Helps Make Life Happen

The ThinQ® app offers control and convenience to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Control the washer remotely or use voice commands with Google or Alexa voice assistants. Plus, download additional cycles and access Smart Diagnosis, customer support, and more. 4 ThinQ Care™ sends usage, maintenance, and diagnostic alerts to help your appliance run smoothly. ThinQ UP™ appliance receive software updates for new features and enhancements. Learn More

Deep Fill-Whenever You Choose

The deep clean you already expect from LG top load washers, plus a deep fill option to add extra water to any cycle with the touch of a button. Another plus-the one-time setting will automatically switch back to high-efficiency water levels the next time you're ready to wash.

Measure First, Order Right.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
