Product review (5 stars): Incredible machines!
Best machines on the market at this price bracket.

Before I go in to my own review, I want to point out (as per the comments on both his reviews) that Amazon reviewer "Steve" who has posted two identical negative reviews actually own a DIFFERENT MODEL (WM2650HRA, a cheaper and older unit). It seems he's cluster bombing any LG models on Amazon with this review and posting it twice - While he may be frustrated with his models, it's completely misleading for anyone looking at these machines because they are incredible.

My review: We needed new machines for home and I just wnated the best of the best. Sadly, since Maytag flooded the market with cheap machiens the high end of the market has narrowed considerably. I was advised by my local appliance store to buy Electrolux units (EIFLS60LT Washer & EIMED60LT dryer). It turned out to be the single worst purchase of any device in my lifetime; I won't go it in to here but after a year long battle with ElectroSUXS, 11 technician visits and 60+ hours of my life I'll never get back, they finally and begrudgingly sent replacements....which turned out to be BROKEN.

Thankfully the silver lining of this was the opportunity to get my money back from them! After a lot of research, which firstly involved talking to the various technicians that were coming to attempt to fix the Electrosuxs units, every single one said "LG", without even hesitating "easy and cheap to fix, if they ever need it" was the same response from each one.

So  I got these units from LG (WM4270 range) and after 4 months of use, I could not be happier. So much, that I just ordered a second pair for my business, even though the warranty doesn't cover commercial use. I don't care - they're that good.

Firstly, HUGE drum size, yet small overall unit footprint. I can do 15-20 large, soaking wet towels without them even flinching. They also have a ton of of programs but they keep it simple on the dial. If you want to customize the programs then you can easily, using the little matrix buttons for each setting (temp, soil, spin speed etc) and a nice touch is that if you try to go outside what is sensible for that setting it won't let you (i.e. you're trying to to go max temp on a delicates setting). Simple things like this make it a real breeze to use if you just want it for basic functions but then you can also get really advanced with completely customized programs if you need (I haven't bothered yet).

These units are also really fast. Sub 20 min wash cycle and the paired dryer unit will dry a huge load of heavy clothes in around 45 mins.

I could go on and on, but honestly, these are incredibly machines, period.

The only single issue that these have (the entire LG range have it) is that the internal valves for the hot and cold water feeds open and close very quickly. This can lead to water hammering (google it) in older houses where pipes aren't strapped or very long pipe runs, but this doesn't bother me as I have strapped pipes and hammer arrestors installed.
