We needed to replace our Whirlpool w/d after many great years (12-15) of use so LG had a lot to live up to - and it does!  Clothes are washed better than our old w/d and come out so dry that our clothes are pasted to the interior's drum!  Drying times are decreased from our older w/d.  And the price was amazing for models that were closer to the top of the line that LG offers!
