We had a LG washer and dryer that lasted 12 years without any issues. We decided to upgrade for better efficiency. I love this washer has a 15 min. short cycle. That is a tremendous amount of water savings. The WiFi application alerts my phone when the wash is complete. I am very happy with this purchase so far. We bought the platforms that go underneath this time and it is worth every penny. You get some storage and don't have to bend over to load the washer. I recommend this model and certainly the LG brand.
