This washer (with matching dryer) was delivered 10 days ago, and it's "all that!"  I have an older LG front-load washer/dryer at another home that is probably 10+ years old, and has been such a workhorse with no issues, that choosing a new LG was a no-brainer.  Direct-drive motor and stainless steel tub are musts for me.  The only hiccup was connecting the washer to the home internet.  It was excessively difficult and only completed after I did research on YouTube that showed how to make the initial connection using TWO cellphones and upgrading the software.  Yes, it was just that convoluted.  But once connected, it's been flawless.  I have done more than 20 loads in 10 days, so adequate usage to feel confident that we made an excellent choice.
