This is a good washing machine...if you babysit it!

I bought this washer 6 months ago based on its positive Consumer Reports rating.

Bad decision.

The machine incorrectly guesses the water level and therefore does not fully wet your clothes.  So, you must babysit every wash cycle and play with the buttons to add more water.  You cannot start a load and then leave the house.

It also twists/stretches clothes.

High-efficiency products like this are counterproductive because a) you must override their functions in order to make them work correctly, and, b) people get frustrated and stop buying them

I am disappointed and won't buy LG again.
