I bought a higher level LG washer, but did not want the unneeded features like steam in the associated dryer so opted for this model.   This model is Energy Star certified, gets clothes dry efficiently and has enough cycles to be very useful.   Besides a different color (white versus silver) on the end of the know it matches the washer completely.   One issue, this dryer was a month late because an LG truck 'broke down', but LG would not grant a promised 'inconvenience allowance'...boo.
