I resisted replacing my Whirlpool machine, but I hated it from day 1.  When it wouldn’t spin out the 8 year old top loading went.  
I chose the LG on recommendation from my daughter.  I love it!  Front loading which I feel far exceeds the top loading Whirlpool for cleaning.  The options are fabulous, it is user friendly for a senior.......nothing to complain only rave.
