I remember the LG of the old days (Goldstar) sold at Kmart. But we were advised that the LG front load machines are quite good products--advised by Home Depot and HH Gregg. So we bought the WM2016CW for $569 at HH Gregg today. It's a world of difference away from the used washer that I bought as a used unit for $40 at a rent to own store where I worked in 1991. The old washer has had one tub gasket replaced about 7-8 yrs ago and now it's leaking again.

We bought in a rush so I really didn't even do any research on this unit. Clothes were piling up. The direct drive motor with a 7 yr warranty sounded good--two years on the control panel and lifetime on the stainless tub.
Any opinions?

On a side note, the dryers they offer with these seem to be a rip off. They're just dryers and they want 7 and 8 hundred dollars for a freaken dryer. I'll stick with the old style front load dryer I bought for 269 at Circuit City in 99 for now. I don't see any need to change to a matching dryer ever, for that price.
