After several months of use I feel good in writing this evaluation.  I must admit I-am old school thinking a washing machine should last ten years. Our old machine (name brand) lasted 6 years which disappointed me greatly. So I did my due diligence on washing machines and decided on this model LG. Most of the negative remarks are people comparing their old machine against the LG. High Efficiency machine.  To me that’s like saying my computer doesn’t work like my typewriter.  What I am trying to say is if you want a full tub of sloshing water —- it’s not going to happen with this machine. But if you want clean clothes while conserving water and electricity this I feel is the machine for you,
