Product review (4 stars): good washer, few flaws
I have had this LG front loader WM2301HW for 2 weeks. It replaced a Frigidaire front loader that was 3 years old and was a lemon. I read several internet postings about my new LG WM2301HW that have turned out to be false. The machine works great. It does not collect  a puddle of water in the rubber seal around the door like the old one did and does not have a musty smell after each wash. The clothes come out very clean. They come out less wrinkled that the Frigidaire machine. I love the extra rinse cycle because it gets out the excess detergent that breaks down fabrics and leaves them stiff. My clothes are softer than ever and I can use less fabric softener. Consumer Reports said the machine was noisy but I have not found that to be so. My machine is in an upstairs clostet and I don't have any noise problem. There are also no vibration problems. I really like the little tune it plays instead of a buzz a the end of it's cycle. Controls are easy to use and understand. Some sites commented about the lint trap spewing water but I did not have that problem. I emptied the water with the rubber drain as suggested and then removed the lint trap without problems. Others complaied it couldn't take large bulky loads but I have done several large/bulky loads without trouble.
My only complaint is that you cannot set the machine to the highest spin cycle when you use the large/bulky wash cycle. Customer service informs me this is part of the design and not just an error with my machine. I believe the bulky/large load is when you need the highest spin cycle the most and that  this is a major design flaw that LG must correct. However I have used the high spin with the normal wash load and it has worked OK so far for towels and blankets etc..  I would definatly recommend this washer
