My dryer went out last month and after researching we decided on LG. When we were about to purchase just the dryer but we decided to get a washer too. Mine was still working but it was nearly 20 years old. I'm disappointed that this is one doesn't seem to fill with enough water. I've been using the add water setting every time. When I watch through the clear lid it seems that some some items are always above the water. My other problem is that it is nearly impossible for me to reach every item in the tub when there cycle is over. I'm 5'3" so not far below average height. The machine is flat on the floor and not on a platform (like I had in my previous home...I can't even imagine living with that!). I felt like I'd fall in trying to teach! I had to purchase a "grabber" to get the items on the bottom. It makes for a frustrating laundry day.
