Mrs datlas wants a 21st century front loading stainless steel LG washer. I may have to concede.

More unsolicited advice datlas
Get yourself a pour over coffee maker. They are inexpensive and I like mine better than my French press. Just as easy to use and maintain. Enjoying 700ml of smoothness this morning.

The big issues with our LG washer and drier are -
The washer bounces around so much that it will move 6 to 8 inches with each load. We've had it balanced multiple times, but have been told "that's just what they do."
The sealing ring around the door holds where and gets mildew and smells. We dry it regularly, but still have to take it completely off on a regular basis to clean it really well. Tools required. PITA and always has a smell.
Dryer does not evacuate lint. It gets past the screen and gets stuck in the unit even though we clean the screen with each load. Requires disassembly of the inside of the thing to be able to vacume all the stuck lint out. Tools required and it is an awkward job requiring you to stick your head inside the machine. Oh, and the lint gets moist causing the machine and clothes to stink.
All my research says these are common LG issues.
I'd do some research before plopping down the stack it will take to buy the stuff. Our machines were about $2k 5 or 6 years ago. I'd toss them today, but don't want to spend money on replacements.
Definitely would not buy LG again.

My old washer started coming apart inside. I guess the agitator or it's support rusted through so pieces of rusty metal would be in the clothes after a cycle. Like big chunks of rusty metal. I bought a cheap Kenmore top loader and it has been perfect for several years.
