The main reason we purchased this washer was because you can switch the orientation of the door, so that the washer and dryer can open to each other (easier to move laundry from the washer to dryer without working around the door). It washes fine so far as I can tell, but the washer tub seems unusually wet at the end of the cycle. I previously had an LG and did not notice this issue. The gasket has a ton of water remaining on it as does the detergent section. The washer has a "venting" system, to dry out the washer, but I still find the excessive wetness odd.
