Product review (4 stars): Interesting piece of equiptment
Washer seems well built and easy to use. i've owned it for 3 months and had to have one repair covered under warranty. takes the machine about 1 hour to do a load and there seems to be alot wasted time going from one cycle to the next. i also had to change how i add powdered detergent (had to put it in the bottom of the tub vs. the tray they say to use) because the machine doesn't use alot of water and some of the detergent would not get washed out of the something on the top of the load.  I wish it used more water, but even with that said, the machine dose a nice job of cleaning close and the spin cycle is so fast that clothes come out partially dry before putting them in the dryer.

i recommend the machine and really don't see a down side. it holds a ton, reasonaby quiet operation, does a good job at gettign clothes clean (but but your detergent in first). Cant remark on longevity yet, but i tend to think LG products are well built and designed.
