Definitely would recommend to friends and family. Old washer, 5 years old started leaking water from tub & definitely had no guts took forever for a load to get done. New LG washer wow, it does a load in no time, lets me know on my watch/or phone when done. Towels, jeans, robes, all have come out smelling and looking clean. Hope this machine lasts longer than previous…….super happy so far.
