I bought this washer a month ago and I am glad I went with LG. Admittedly, I was going to buy Samsung to save a few bucks. But after a considerable amount of online reviews, I went with LG. Glad I did. What a great product. The 4.5 capacity is more than enough for a family of 3 or 4. It cleans clothes gently and very well. It is quiet and has a stabilization feature that keeps it from vibrating at all. What I really like is the WiFi ThinQ app feature. I get a notification when I am anywhere, and can check cycle progress when I am doing other tasks. I like the variety of settings, but honestly only use a few. Extremely user friendly and is an overall amazing machine. So glad I paid a little more for LG and did not buy the Samsung.
