My girl has owned an Lg front loading set for about two years now....no issues. I love them. The washer gets clothes cleaner than a top loader...and it spins the clothes so dry...drying cycle measured in minutes.
Two Korean companies, Lucky and Gold, merged and became LG. How can you go wrong buying Lucky Gold? Every one I know has front loaders and LOVES them. We love our LG front loader as well as our LG tv. I am a huge LG fan.
