LG TROMM Washer - Front Load Review

I hate to be the odd man out  here - but  the LF TROMM front load washer  has proven to be the worst  purchase I've ever made  for household appliances.   We purchased Washer/dryer combo with their over-priced pedestals and   the dryer has been trouble  since day 75 with no  support from LG  and the washer   smells,  doesn't drain well  and I was told by LG its a common problem - their solution - I must leave washer door open after each use/ wipe out with bleach at least once a week and run  an empty load wiht bleach solution .  Teh three flange  rubber gasket they  have installed in all units to   eliminate an earlier  designs leak issues hold  lint,  pet and human hair  and  foster mold and mildew.     Why am I washing my washer?  Well I'm not - back to  a top load (probably Speed Queen or Frigadaire) with fewer bells and whistles - less cost and  less electronics to   go awry.  I don't need to drive my washer  - just  wash clothes! 

The instructions also inform you that you must periodically   access the drain  plug and drain  water and clean the  drain motor lint  wand -  periodically  really means at least once every  5 - 6 loads - and these were not large loads we were running.
