Coolest appliance in my house

I bought this washer because it was Energy Star rated and got literally hundreds of really good reviews. We've been using it for 3 weeks now and so far, so good. It does seem a little finicky about getting the load balanced, but we just let it do its thing and everything comes out great. It's pretty quiet, other than the sound of sloshing water, and we really love the little song it plays when the clothes are done. I like the high spin speed, which means we save money running the (matching LG) dryer. Word of caution to short people: the tub on this washer is DEEP. You may need a little stool to reach the bottom!
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Bought the washer in April 2015 and so far the only issue I've had is the deep wash tub, since I'm 5' 2" it can be a stretch to reach small items at the bottom. (also means this is a washer capable of handling large loads) Another reviewer noted she uses plastic or rubber coated kitchen tongs. Haven't found cheap ones yet but still looking! Another person uses a small step stool. I carefully leveled my machine, follow the directions on how to load it correctly and have not once had a problem with an unbalanced load. I've washed a blanket together with a set of sheets & other items, multiple extra large towels and a full load of clothes that included at least several pairs of jeans. Love all the various settings and the get a kick out of all the little jiggles and wiggles the machine goes through while it determines how much water is needed for that particular load. This is not a traditional agitator type machine but so far I am impressed with how clean my laundry is without beating the fabric in the process. I have not one complaint. Don't know if it takes any longer to do a load than before, I think seeing the time displayed might be a little deceptive since I never paid that close of attention to how many minutes it took until a load was done in the past. I have enough other things to do after starting a load so what's another 10 minutes if the clothes are clean and I'm saving money on my water and electric bills too! I would recommend this washer.

After extensive online research there really wasn't any other choice than LG. The washer has been put through some very heavy use since arriving about three months ago. Zero problems, and great results. Easy setup, and operation.
Every time you wash your clothing no matter what cycle you are on the clothes never get dry. You always have to run an additional spin cycle otherwise your clothes come out soaking wet. It puts extra pressure on the dryer.
