After retuning a new Maytag washer of 4 weeks old for this LG, I'd say the washer is a "good" washer. I've completed about 4 loads in this one and only one (1) load got out of balance and had to be repositioned. I do wish it added more water during the wash cycle and that I had control over that feature. Sometimes, if I'm washing sheets, they get bundled up and look like a mushroom top so I'm wondering how clean they are because of the bundling. Overall, would I buy this washer again? No, for the money I spent, I'd buy a LG front loader, but is it a good washer, Yes, AND so much better than a Maytag!
