What a Great Washer!

What a great washer! I purchased this washer because I didn't need a stacking set and LG brand was the only way to go. After reading the consistently really good and really bad reviews on all of the other major front-load brands, LG only ever had really great reviews. I love the large capacity (23 Lbs dry) and how quiet it is. My cat even sits on top and leans over the edge to watch it wash when it's on and he's scared of every noise! The sanitize cycle is great that heats the water to 165 degrees and the control panel is very easy to use to select what temperature, wash cycle and options you want. The delay feature is nice when you want to have the load finished when you return home, or want to start in the morning and not have it run through the night. From what I can tell it gets the clothes very clean. It also seems very gentle on the clothing. I usually wear 'business wear' and it never comes out frayed or damaged. The clothes are extremely dry after the spin cycle. They fluff up so much afterwards they fill up the drum space. I've noticed a difference in the time it takes to dry the clothes and I think it's because of the reduced water in the clothes from this washer. The compartment for the cleaning liquids is on the top surface and is covered by a hinged lid. I prefer this over the traditional pull-out compartment because you don't get any splashing and mixing of detergent/fabric softener when pushing the heavy drawer back in. LG thought of everything with this washer, even the beep to signal the end is nice and not annoying. We did spend about 30 min leveling the washer when we first installed it and I think this is important; we don't get any vibration when it's on, even during the spin cycle. I would definitely purchase this washer again.
