Product review (3 stars): Good washer, but too loud
Bought the LG washer in May 08, so far no problem. Does a good job in cleaning. Like the large door openning (had a Sears Kenmore front loading which has a small door), the capacity (handles 10 pair of pants easily), and cloths don't get tangled.

There are a couple of things that I don't like. First is the noise. The noise is not from the driving motor (actually the motor is very quite when it spins), but from the water pump. I could not understand why the LG engineer could not make the water pump quiter. Consider the sump pump handles far more volume, but is much quiter than the water pump in this washer. Contacted LG custormer service, and they told me it is 'NORMAL'. I guess he must wearing hearing aid. I would not recommend this machine for 2nd floor. The second is the drain/clean requirement. You have to drain the water with a small tube near the bottom of the machine, before you remove the filter. Again, I consider this is a poor design, since you don't need to drain the water when you replacing the water filter on the refregirator.
