LG Washer - Front Load WM2455HW Review

Bought this LG Front Load Machine-WM2455HW less than two weeks ago.  The first thing I noticed was how quiet it was compared to my previous top-loader (of 30 years).  It also somehow weighs the load to calculate the amount of water needed and the amount of time it will take to wash to perfection.  I now don't have to worry about over calculating the load size to make sure there's enough water and soap.  It could wash my queen size comforter without difficulty.  I previously had to take it to the laundromat.  It also spins so efficiently, a lot of my wash and wear clothes can be shaken and put straight on a hanger to finish drying so I can bypass the dryer and save energy and money.  The way the door opens and closes reminds me of a car door.  The machine is still new but I have been told by the salesperson and a friend who learned the hard way that it is important  to wipe the rubber sealer regularly to avoid mildew buildup.  This applies to all of the new front loaders.  The best advice I could give when purchasing a washer (and possibly the matching dryer) is to narrow your search to three makes and models and then ask the salesperson to help you decide.  The one that helped us compared the specs and then it was easy to make a selection.  I should also mention that the repair man who came to switch the vent from the back to the side for our LG dryer said he highly recommends the LG brand for washers and dryers--but not refrigerators.
