Wonderful washing machine
The LG - 4.5cu washer was introduced by the Best Buy's saleman. He explained all the details of the washer and we finally decided to buy it. After 1 month of using, the washer is easy to use, large capacity, quiet, high efficiency and the clothes are super clean. I highly recommend this washer. Beside that, I am happy to give 6 stars ****** to the saleman who recommended this item to us. :)

Perfect
This washer is great. Modern, full of technology, and does everything it needs to do efficiently. Only dissappointment was with the contractors bestbuy sent to install. Initially it was a horrible experience, as they were not professional at all and didn’t do the installation at all, but left a mess. Than bestbuy sent a different group to complete the install. Without that incident this would’ve been perfect. But the product is great.
