It's been over 20 years since I last purchased a washer and wow have things changed.  This washer uses next to no water compared to my old washer.  However, it got the clothes clean and they smelled great.  Another comparison is how quiet the LG is compared to my old washer.  It is night and day difference.  I like all the wifi features, tracking cycles, energy use, etc..  Very happy with the purchase.
