      **Brief Review:**

      The LG SIGNATURE WM9900HSA washer represents a culmination of LG's technological advancements, wrapped in a distinctively aesthetic design that is both sleek and practical. My children liken it to a Cybertruck, and while that might be a bold claim, they have a point. The 5.8-cubic-foot drum is the largest available in a front-loader, comparable only to commercial laundromats. The 7-inch LCD touchscreen serves as a replacement for conventional buttons and dials, while the ezDispense system allows for weeks of use without needing detergent. After weeks of testing with regular family laundry (even with a daughter who insists on washing her towels after single use), the LG Signature washer performs as impressively as it appears, outshining 99% of competitors.

      That being said, the price tag of $1,899 (as of July 3, 2026, down from $2,499) is significant for a washing machine, and the WM9900HSA has some drawbacks that prevent it from being perfect. The beautiful touchscreen becomes difficult to read in direct sunlight, the ezDispense drawer can be easily bumped, and the remote-start feature is overly cautious and not practical. These issues aren't dealbreakers but are worth noting before making a purchase.

      For those seeking the highest capacity, the best display, and a hassle-free detergent filling experience in a front-loader—provided your budget allows—the WM9900HSA comes highly recommended. However, if the primary goal is just to wash clothes, LG’s own WM6700HBA offers about 90% of the performance for roughly half the cost.

      **Design and Build:**

      Most washing machines are just that—machines. However, the WM9900HSA feels more like furniture. Its brushed platinum steel exterior, tempered glass door with chrome accents, and nearly button-less front give it an appealing presence deserving of the SIGNATURE label. It’s the first aspect that draws attention, and after several weeks, I still find it visually pleasing. The drum is made of LG’s NeveRust stainless steel, illuminated by an internal light, and the unit features a robust inverter direct-drive motor backed by a 10-year warranty.

      Instead of standard dials and small displays, it boasts a generous 7-inch LCD touchscreen. While the screen is generally responsive, it can lag when swiping. Choosing cycles, temperature settings, spin speed, and soil levels is a matter of a few taps, and you can prioritize your favorite cycles. A practical note: in bright sunlight, the screen can be challenging to read, which may not be an issue in a dim laundry space but was noticeable for me next to a bright window.

      One design-related drawback is the ezDispense drawer. Its low positioning makes it prone to being unintentionally bumped by laundry baskets or feet, and the mechanism feels more fragile than the otherwise sturdy machine. While I never broke it, I was always conscious of its delicacy.

      At 29 inches wide, the WM9900HSA is 2 inches wider than the standard 27-inch washers, so ensure your space and doorways can accommodate it. It is compatible with LG's WDP8S pedestal, the Side
