I’m very impressed with this washer.

I previously owned a sears kenmore was a nice machine, it lasted 10 years before the electonics in it burnt up. It too was an aggitatorless model, high efficency type. Ten years ago this was one of the first of this type.

So when shopping for a new model I wanted to stick with a top load, aggitatorless, high efficency type. I was very impressed with a LG Blu-ray player I had bought, so keeping those features & the LG brand in mind I looked at thier models first.

This model had the features I wanted so I didn’t even consider any other brands.

Installation was easy since I previously had hookups all in place. I didn’t read much of the book. The quick install sheet mentions leveling & it was easy to see it was level. All you have to do is make sure the tub lines up with the opening. After hooking up the hoses & putting the drain hose in the drain tube, checking for levelness you’re ready…

I got on the Lowes site which I found contained fabricated reviews which was a real bummer. They used the same phrases over & over again but in different order.

They all let off a mildew odor or do not wash good enough. Look at all the sites, Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy, ABC Warehouse, Amazon, all the sideloading washing machines don’t get any better than 3 stars max! So the decision was for a top loader. Now what brand do you get? Back to the reviews & that retarded salesmen!

According to the reviews on those websites I mentioned, Maytag & Whirlpool ranked down at the bottom of the gene…

A review that actually answers your questions, February 26, 2011

What kind (front or top load) & what brand of washer to buy? After spending about ,500 on two top loaders (GE & LG) & two front loaders ( Frigidaire & Samsung) over the last six years, I believe I am qualified to make some assertions. The tests that Consumer Reports does on washers are nothing more than pre-arranged outcome studies, designed to push sales of Department of Energy approved washers. This is not entirely bad, as everyone wants to save money & help the environment. In fairness, Consumer Reports does a valuable service, but for some products, the tests are creatively constructed to achieve an objective, which in this case, is pushing front load washing machines.

My first washer was a very old GE top loader. It used a substantial amount of water & power, but served admirably. The next unit was a Frigidaire front loader that was quite efficient, but did not wash clothes as well as the GE top loader it replaced. The Frigidaire suffered a…
