Product review (5 stars): Spectacular washing machine
The LG WM8500HVA is a spectacular washing machine - an achievement in technology. I replaced a Bosch front load washer and was very pleasantly surprised at the differences. Our laundry room is on the 2nd floor - noise and vibration had always been an issue with the old machine. The special vibration-absorbing feet purchased for the old machine are no longer needed. You cannot hear this machine operating even in the room directly below it. We are on a septic system, so water efficiency is a high priority that this machine meets. The clothes come out extremely dry from the high speed spin cycle, making drying cycle times very short. Permanent press, towels, and whites all come out in very nice condition. Bear in mind that shipment will take longer than other Amazon products, but it's worth the wait.
