I purchased this unit as a replacement for a 10 year old front load LG washer that had a good run but needed to be replaced.  This new unit has about 30% better capacity than the old unit for about the same footprint. With the old unit, washing a queen comforter was out of the question but could be easily accomplished in this unit. This new unit is quiet, has a steam feature and the connectivity to the app, while not essential, is useful.  Highly recommend.
