Many features that I am not sure I will need, but they are there for sure. I like that it is about a cubic foot bigger than my 25 year old model, yet it is about the same footprint. I went back to a top loader. I got tired of seeing the black marks on the gasket of my old unit and constantly having to check to see if the door had been accidentally bumped shut. I had forgotten about reaching over the front of the machine to grab a sock or pair of underwear from the bottom so I keep a grabber handy. I have not used the grabber yet and also have not bruised any ribs, but it is a big deep stainless steel tub so I am being careful. I was able to easily wash a thick and heavy full sized comforter as well as smaller and normal loads. It weighs everything when you select your cycle, close the lid and press start. I liked having a flat surface to hold my detergent, dryer sheets etc on, so I bought a narrow tiered cart that fits between the washer and matching LG dryer, and that works for me in lieu of the flat surface on my old front loader. My washer and matching dryer fits in an alcove, so I had to be mindful of the space. With the dryer needing to be on the left, I was able to have them reverse the door for free with the plan I bought. Install was free as well. My hookups are on the opposite side than most machines are set up for. It is easy to transfer the clothing from the LG washer to the LG dryer, because the dryer door opens two ways, to the side and also down. I like the pleasant alert chimes that these machines make. I hope to get many years out of this pair. In 25 years of my Maytag washer, I had to have the washer’s circuit board replaced one time. I am hoping this washer is as problem free. In my photos you see a hole that needs patching. We needed to replace the shut off valve behind the washer, in fact Best Buy had to leave the machine and complete the install after I hired a plumber. The old valve would not shut the water off completely. Under my protection plan Best Buy rescheduled quickly and did not charge for a second trip. The steam feature hose from the dryer connects there as well. Also, my dryer is gas. The original owners had an electric dryer so there is a 220 outlet not being used in the pictures.

Very quiet machine, cleans my clothes perfectly, it’s not too deep but has amazing capacity, and the sanitization feature is very convenient as well. The app features are also very helpful in keeping up with machine cleaning and maintenance. Best washer I’ve ever had

Have had for a few weeks now replaced a 13 year old Lg washer. So far very happy with washer, cleans clothes very well. No problems with anything getting tangled together. Run very quiet but spins everything really good so they are not too wet after cycle is done.
