After a long time of comparing different brands of washing machines I finally decided that I wanted a front loader and that LG was the brand I was going with. I can honestly say that I am so glad that I did! It’s the best machine I have owned, I love all the settings, it washes like a dream and is quiet. I love that I can operate the machine from the touch of a button on my smart phone giving me total control of when my washing starts and finishes and I can also monitor how long it has left, however the app will send me a notification once the cycle is complete. I highly recommend the LG washer.
