I've only had this wasing machine a month, so that is the reason for only 3 stars......I bought it to replace a LG washer from 2011.  I don't like the new LG washer control panel but that is just my preference and doesn't affect how the machine works. The quality of the machine seems cheaper than my old model too but  I looked at several manufacturers and it seems all the new appliances are 'less than' in quality of materials used to make them so I guess that is just the sign of the times, however, in my opinion, the LG seemed sturdier.  I do like the ability to add more water if I choose.   When The washer says 60 minutes it means 60 minutes, my old washer would go for like 2 hours but say 15 min left.  It fills much faster than my old machine which I like.
