I bought this LG 5.0 washer three weeks ago and love it. My previous was 4.5 so this new one reduced number of loads for us every weekend.  And  I can wash my comforters nicely; and wash 2 large blankets at once which saved us a lot of time.  Since it's a newer generation, it cleans very well.  Our socks come out whiter.  Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase.
