This is our second LG washer. Why??? The first washer was so great that we wore it out using it so much! My husband was very impressed with the number of cycles for the new washer.  He does the laundry and he is very particular about getting good results.   He made sure to read the washing manual that came with the new machine and, so far, everything has been washed superbly. This LG machine has done everything we expected and more.  We highly recommend it.
