It took me a long time to research washing machines that are available, both basic models and those with all the bells & whistles. After reading reviews from multiple websites, I selected the LG #WT4700CW and could not be happier. It is extremely quiet, easily washes king size bedding, dog beds, etc with ease. It has an option to add extra water for large loads, which I love. I'm so happy with the performance. Everything comes out squeaky clean!
