Product review (2 stars): Do not buy!!!
We got this washer 21 months ago from Best Buy. It worked well at first and we were impressed with it, despite severe vibration during spin cycle (yes, it's properly leveled).
FIRST PROBLEM: Within 3-4 months time, a severe mildewy smell was becoming more and more evident, even though we would leave the machine open to dry after every use. It made our laundry room and our clothes smell. Cleaning and bleaching around the rubber gasket did not help. After doing TONS of research, I learned 2 things that fixed this problem: 1) don't use liquid detergents, they help form a sludge layer in unreachable internal parts of the machine. Use only powder ("he" type, of course. Sears makes several good ones). and 2) You must occasionally use Oxi-Clean mixed in with your detergent. The active ingredient dissolves that sludge layer which grows the mold and mildew. The same ingredient is contained in dishwasher detergent powders and some hot tub cleaners, but the oxi-clean is easier and is designed for washing machines. We had to run our machine empty with hot water and oxi-clean for about 10 loads straight before the smell went away.
SECOND PROBLEM: 21 months after purchasing the machine, the machine stopped draining the water out and we were getting error messages. Manually draining the machine and cleaning the drain filter, as per the manual and LG's customer service from India, did not help.(By the way- very poor design for draining the machine. There is a small rubber hose which is all the way down at floor level. The only way to drain it is to keep a small shallow pan under the hose, and constantly carry it away, empty it, and bring the pan back and fill it up again. It takes forever.)It turns out the drain pump was bad, a $325 repair, no longer covered by LG's 12 month warranty. The authorized LG repair person says that he replaces a lot of these and always tries to keep some on his truck. Luckily, our extended warranty coverage through our credit card should reimburse us, but this is very poor performance. You should get much more than 21 months of service before needing a repair that costs half as much as the machine itself.

My advice- STAY AWAY FROM THIS MACHINE! I would not buy another LG washing machine.
