LG TROMM Washer - Front Load Review

LG TROMM Washer - Front Load (and accompanying LG Dryer) 

Purchased this expensive washing/drying duo and have had nothing but problems from the get go.  Smelly clothes have been something that I would routinely blame on not putting them in the dryer fast enough but even a wash from the evening started in the dryer the next morning shouldn't cause a smell like that!

Next, the washer eventually started leaking.  I thought perhaps one of the kids, we have three, messed with the front-end door but after reading review upon review upon review about a leaky front door seal with no apparent wear or tear, I realized I was wrong.

The dryer has been repaired twice and sits now ready for a third repair.  It's the same thing and I have been, again, errantly blaming the older kids for not cleaning the lint trap.  However, after having freaked out twice about a $300+ repair bill for the dryer and sitting here now wondering whether it's even worth it to repair it again ... I am realizing that my poor children have been getting blamed for something that is inherently LG's poor design.

I would not recommend this washer nor would I recommend its counter-part dryer.  While you may be thrilled at the first few washes, eventually you will come to realize that this was one big, giant waste of money and you would've been better off having your launddry laundered and folded by a service!

If I could've rated it worse than poor, I would've.  Take caution!
