My wife wanted a large capacity washer with hand wash/wool setting.  This is pretty much the only one out there.  Bosch makes a front load, but it’s a compact one.  Speed Queen makes a top load but it is not suitable for wool because it has an agitator and does not have Wi-Fi compatibility.  This LG has all the bells and whistles, including a wide selection of wash cycles, Wi-Fi/Alexa/smartphone compatibility, large capacity.  I only wish the detergent/fabric softener drum would accommodate more loads.  The warranty is a standard 1 year warranty, but the drum and motor have longer warranties.  This is my first front load and LG product.  So far, so good.
