I have to say that I was excited to purchase this machine.  After only about 2 months of use the door latch failed which stopped the use of the machine  completely.  After contacting lg about this issue it took almost two months to repair the machine and I find this unacceptable.  I live in a very rural area and had to travel over an hour one way just to wash laundry.  Also unacceptable.  I do hope that this is not what is to come for the future of this machine and feel I have absolutely no choice but to have to spend more time and money to put an extended plan on what my be the wrong purchase
