I have researched washers for a long time and was on the fence about this particular front loader vs a top loader. Until I saw this model in the store. This washer is absolutely amazing! Everything I was looking for in a clothes washer, and then some! The freedom to chose my own cycle, or tweak it to my liking is amazing. I have this washer for about a month now, and tried almost all the cycles. I am very satisfied with the way it operates. The noise is minimal. The shaking during the spin cycle is acceptable as well. The inside light makes the process of washing clothes similar to a mini show! Once in a while I can hear the water hammer, but I am not concerned. And I love that the clothes are minimally wet at the end of the cycle, which makes the drying process (outdoors or in the dryer) a lot quicker. The ONLY negative thing I should mention is that it leaks from the turbo wash piece for about 12 hrs after a cycle is done. Which is an absolute inconvenience for me because I have to keep the door open and a towel on the door opening to catch the drippings until the leak has resolved itself. This was a big bummer for me. Had I known this BEFORE I bought this washer, I would of gone with a top load style. I had called Best Buy about it, but the installation tech came, looked at it and told me that this kind of leak is very very common. And even though I had a choice of returning this washer because of the inconvenience of the constant drip after any cycle, I decided that I can live with it for the greater advantage of wonderful features this washer can offer to my family. Bottom line: it is a wonderful washer, but make sure you are prepared to deal with a leak after each cycle.

I just love this washer. It's quiet and it cleans well. I've had two LG washers before but this is the best by far. It's great at removing stains and odors. The turbo wash selection cuts the time by twenty minutes without sacrificing the cleaning. GREAT MACHINE!!!

So far I've had my lg washer and drier for 2 weeks and I've used it often. The learning curve was small coming from a basic upright set. There is a bit of a rubbery smell from the washer seal but you just need to wipe it down to prevent mildew. The only down side is that the pedal stool drawers are not tall enough for a standard bottle of washing liquid and bleach bottle. Have to lay everything to the side which isn't the safest way to store them. So far no spills though.
